Thanks for finding the artists name for us! Rob Gonsalves does some very interesting salviaesque work. I particularly like "The Performer" and "Towers of Knowledge". EDIT: Wow, that gallery is full of amazing paintings. Thanks again! I absolutely love this one:

A quote from the biography on Rob Gonsalves: "Although Gonsalves' work is often categorized as surrealistic, it differs due to the fact that the images are deliberately planned and result from conscious thought. Ideas are largely generated by the external world and involve recognizable human activities, using carefully planned illusionist devices. Gonsalves injects a sense of magic into realistic scenes. As a result, the term "Magic Realism" describes his work accurately. His work is an attempt to represent human beings desire to believe in the impossible." Perfect way of putting it. Magic Realism. I also noticed that he's a Canadian  I don't often feel proud of my country, but at this moment I certainly do!

I'm going to look into some of this 'Magic Realism'.. I did a google search and most of the stuff looks amazing, nothing seemed Salvia related though.. I'll keep searching

These are fantastic, I'll be marching again through those doors in no time. Really sick pics. My ego is insane, but I'm alright

One of my all time favourite paintings, or woodcarvings, if you will. If the brain were so simple we could understand it, we would be so simple we couldn't.
CosmicFool is a fictional character, a creation of imagination, and everything written above should not be taken seriously, or perhaps read at all.

Interesting indeed! I have bookmarked this guy, and am working my way through his pieces. thanks for all the other art too. A lot of inspiring stuff - that looks eerily familiar  JBArk JBArk is a Mandelthought; a non-fiction character in a drama of his own design he calls "LIFE" who partakes in consciousness expanding activities and substances; he should in no way be confused with SWIM, who is an eminently data-mineable and prolific character who has somehow convinced himself the target he wears on his forehead is actually a shield.

I don't know where those pics from post #5 came from, but I really like the people making up the bridge one. Here's an example of a dog tripping on salvia (frame stacking)  I also like the image below. It conveys the sense of replication and the idea of someone in the background controlling reality.  Here's a gif of what a synched salvia session would probably look like if high society elites tried it.

He's done some great works of art, some are very reminiscent of Salvia. burningmouth wrote:I also like the image below.

If i may, make a contribution, here's some art I found looking about tonight.   this one is from Escher, it immediately reminds me of salvia world    Umm, well, they are a little big, don't know how to change that. And I LOLd pretty good at that poltergeisting party, that's great. My ego is insane, but I'm alright

Nice Lavos. I agree with you on the Escher one. Very nice! Salviaspace has some strange architecture, doesn't it.

I haven't been doing much looking around for artwork the past few days, but I have to say those are GREAT lavos! I like the first one a lot, but the one of the outside and the clouds really reminds me of my Salvia experiences. I usually dose outside, so that's usually what I see and sort of feel on Salvia. Great stuff..

Thanks for posting that guys, most of it was cool but some of those pics downright gave me the shivers. Well I had absolutely no intention of smoking salvia tonight, or doing any drawing. Now I'm going to do both "Today is victory over yourself of yesterday, tomorrow is victory over others."MM

It's been a few years since salvia and I communicated, though I'm still processing some of the information. Many of the posted pictures bring it all back! Here are a couple for your musing: CuriousSeeker attached the following image(s):  hiab-x_psychohedron.jpg (142kb) downloaded 181 time(s). Eye Hands.jpg (25kb) downloaded 181 time(s). bbr_trainstation.jpg (129kb) downloaded 182 time(s).A scale is a wonderful thing. Everything else posted by CS is lunatic fiction.
