Hi everyone,

the title gives it pretty much away. I decided to start doing artwork again. What better place to share my work than here, I thought.
The first impressions of the DMT realms really started my creative motor again. It feels good.

A while ago I painted a picture using acrylic paint, which is a medium I haven't been using so far. I tried to paint what I saw during my first few sub-breakthrough trips. It turned out to be a very simplistic version of what I actually saw, but it was great fun.
Yesterday I got the idea to take a picture of the painting and let it evolve a bit using gimp and my wacom draw pad. It turned out to be much more authentic and comes close to what I see just before breakthrough.

Nicely done. Ain't none of us ever gonna bring back a literal translation, but it's fun and satisfying (if not a bit frustrating in it's impossibility) to try. It's an endlessly inspiring experience. Keep making em. You're definitely on to something!

Thank you fridge, very cool!

I am glad you two like it .

And I agree it can be a tiny bit frustrating not to be able to make a 100% accurate duplicate of what one saw. I want to try to make a post-breakthrough drawing, but I don't even know where to start. I got the picture in my mind, but it seems like being impossible to ban it on paper (or a computer screen). I guess I will try anyway.

Hey fridge. i like your work. It reminds me of some of my older stuff in this thread.. It's hard to recall the dmt space after the fact but it is 100 times easier to draw it out while still high.
What I do to get as accurate depiction as possible is to smoke a low dose of enhanced leaf with a sketchbook and pen in hand. You will be able to see the visuals on the paper and it is almost as easy as tracing. Some good tunes bumping in your ears helps as well.

BTW. Get some fluorescent sharpie markers for one of your next projects. Your art will look great lit up.

Ayup. I've been known to honk a small dose with pen in hand as well - just enough so patterns emerge like a holograph layered over the top.

It's almost like cheating in a way.

DMT for the win!



Hey, man. It's the act that counts. It's pretty much an impossible thing to capture with very much accuracy. What matters is that you're stretching out, expressing yourself, bringing something beautiful into the world. Don't ever stop. Let what you see in there serve as a driver and coax you into a flow state. Try not to judge it if you can. That will just make you crazy.

I’m glad you’re doing this, Fridge. Thanks for sharing it with us I look forward to keeping an eye on this thread.

Good morning and thanks for words of encouragement and the input everyone!

@Seeingisbelieving, I just checked that thread you mentioned and I can see what you mean . This is exactly the stuff that I would loose myself in, while drawing it! It's a bit like doing mandalas, very meditative at least for me. Those patterns, those eyes, I love it.

I will check out the fluorescent sharpie markers. Let's see how I can incorporate them into my stuff.

@Bill, I think I won't stop for a while at least (I hope never). Drawing and painting used to be something I did a lot, when I was a child. Then I lost my drive for a few years. In my twenties I dealt with a lot of depression, which used to be an engine for my creativity in its own way, but when my life changed for the better that drive died down again. The art I did back then was kind of dark, but I still like it. Since then I made art on and off, but I had some long breaks in between.
Since I discovered DMT it seems like something has been awakened in me, which fell asleep just when my childhood was over. DMT seems to be fantastic for my Phantasie and I am very grateful for that. It has reawakened my inner child, if that makes any sense.
I saw a post of yours in your thread, which I could really identify with. I am not good with the quoting function yet, but it is the one where you mentioned how you got back into drawing while you were drawing with your daughter.

@roninsina, I feel like I will post a lot here in future .

Yesterday I felt ready for another peak into the DMT space, but when the evening came all signs said "no, this isn't the right time", so I postponed my journey and hope tonight everything will feel right this time.

Today fernman was born .

Nice work Fridge! Looks like you’re settling into a steadily evolving groove

Thank you , this is also how it feels like! Finishing this piece made me happy, as I feel like I achieved to encapsulate the the spirit of the DMT experiences I had so far.

I really like Fernman... def has that earth-nature spirit energy-vibe going on...

Thank you null, I can't wait to meet his friends

Very cool Fridge! Thank you for sharing. I hope you continue to do so.

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to, but I definitely see a face in the second one.

One love

Thank you for the kind words, Void! I will keep them coming .

I tend to hide things in my drawings. In this I added a few face like structures indeed.

It's incredible how beneficial DMT is for my creative engine. I am thinking of trying something this weekend. I want to make a rue tea and combine it with smoking enhanced leaf. I wonder how that experience differs from smoking changa and I hope it will help me with my next drawing.

There is a place that I always seem to return to. I found it just below breakthrough level. I have seen someone mentioning a snake pit which this could resemble, but being there does not feel like being in a snake pit. I feel very welcomed, comforted and loved when I am there.
As I have been there about 3-4 times now I wonder if anyone else recognizes this place?

That is looking good! Very familiar space. Keep creating fridge!

Thanks Seeingisbelieving, I knew this is not a place exclusively designed for me! I plan to travel tonight again and hope to be able to bring a new impression back this side.

I haven’t been there, but you have managed to capture the welcoming quality, nicely

I get some good guy snakes, but they are snakes, or more like super snakes, on the order of major deities.

Keep creating and sharing Fridge!

Thank you roninsina, it's good to see you

I will definitely continue creating, but I am a bit stuck. I saw something of which I don't know how to draw it yet.
I saw two beautiful female fairy-like entities opening a curtain, showing me a phantasic landscape. There was so much happening and changing from moment to moment, that it seems impossible to draw it. I will give this picture a try though. It was the first time that I saw and not just felt entities that actually interacted with me.
