Art Bin

Migrated topic.
Well you know those spiky ball things that fall from trees in the spring? One day I spent an hour or so taking a whole bunch of close-up pics of them and ended up with this guy. I sprayed with a syrupy sugar water to give it a glossy, sappy texture. The rest is photoshop.

A good way I have found to distort things to the point of making them unrecognizable is to take a close-up and set the focus slightly past the front of the object (this technique really only works with object that have significant depth) so that it kind of blurs distinguishing details. sososo many avenues.

Hey everyone, I've only been through a few pages but there's a lot of inspiring stuff here, keep it up!

These can be found in my first trip report thread but I thought I'd to share them here.

Handel, those are great. The giant lunar bug really appeals to the kid in me. Fantastic work.

Thank you Guyomech! :)

"Meteor Shower Party"

"The TimeGate at Luna 3"

I really like your style Handel. Have you by chance heard of the artist Sonny Kay? He has a kinda similar vibe going to you, different but still in the same ball park... Anyway, I enjoy your work very much, keep on keepin' on!
 
Thank you guys!

Inner Paths: I just checked out Sonny Kay. Yeah, he has a similar vibe! Although, I think I'm more similar to a group of a few collage artists who are currently pretty popular on Tumblr. Collage is currently in its golden age (started around 2011). If you like my style, check out Cur3es, GlassPlanet, Jesse Treece, Mesineto. Among us, we all make similar surreal collages, but I think I'm the only one among them with direct references to entheogens occasionally. ;-)

Cur3es is probably my all time favorite artist: Kieron Cropper
 
Awesome Handel, I will check out those links ASAP. I've read a few interviews with Sonny Kay where he mentions his experiences with DMT and other entheogens and I can see a bit of that influence in there.

I've had flirtations on and off with digital art on photoshop and it's usually collage stuff I'll muck around with but I am a complete newb and need to acquire better technique to accomplish anything presentable just yet. Plus music takes up the majority of my time at the moment but I want to find my way back to visual art and I think digital will be the way I'd do it (I put down the pencils at age nine as soon as I found my calling with music but I had a good knack for drawing as a wee lad).

Tonight I tripped quite hard and tattooed this gentleman.

Tripping while you work? Some guys get to have it all, don't they? :lol:

That tattoo looks very much like some places I have seen. Incredible!

I once had a concept for a graphic novel where this alien dude among a few others would act as gate keepers to hyperspace. Having not yet ventured to hyperspace myself yet to have a clue what they might actually look like, I kind of abandoned the project, but I still think this was a fun drawing and thought you guys might get a kick out of it.

Have you guys ever tried drawing entities from hyperspace?

Nice work.......I used to draw comics myself.....though just pen and ink work.....

I've only doodled one entity, but I haven't seen that many, maybe four or five, most of which I can't reproduce, though the woman made of golden cubes of light that danced on my ceiling would make a cool comic character.
 
I love your Mandalas Pup :) beautifull
They are also very functional! My last 3 Acid Trips had a moment with one ore more of them comming of of my screen in different aspects.:d Centering and creative (on shrooms the computer stays off..)

keep up the good work
