Fridge's DMT inspired art
- Thread starter Fridge

And I appreciate you 
.
It's sad that I couldn't add something here lately. I got so many ideas, but have some kind of block that prevents me to bring these ideas to paper. Everytime I start, I feel I won't go anywhere near to what I envisioned. Probably something like a writer's block just translated to drawing. I miss it a lot.

You gotta muscle through that, buddy. Try and turn off your head, and just sit down and play. Get in the habit of doing that daily.
Good things always happen for me when I approach it in that way, but the trick is always getting out of my own way.
Thank you Bill, this gives me hope, especially since it's coming from you, a person who I concider being very experienced in the field of art creation. The block probably has to do with my current life situation. Drawing has always been a form of meditation for me and right now I feel I need it the most.
Now I will need to learn to meditate, before I meditate.
I will follow your advice, starting tomorrow.

I just feel like waiting for inspiration is a sucker's game, and for me that really breeds paralysis. I'm at my best when I'm high as a fruit bat, and just playing for the sheer joy of playing.
A lot of times, big sprawling projects for me will begin with aimless doodling. Maybe I'll start with a warmup sketch - just something to clear away the cobwebs; something begins to take shape and ideas flow accordingly. Before I know it, I'm into something I can spend a good six months on.

This is something that's taken me a while to learn with many things, especially writing. I find it best to just jump in, though that approach needs to be made more of a habit.
One love
The last couple of days I have been quite productive and it feels good, because things are flowing again. The first day I kind of forced myself in, motivated by the last few comments here, so I send out a big thank you to you all!
Today, just before I finished the piece attached, I had an idea for my next one. I hope I'll be able to do bring it to paper, just the way I envision it.

Ha! There you go. Pick up the pencil and good things happen!
Very nicely done!
Thank you to both of you .
Often I look at my drawings in progress whenever I had some mushroom tea or shortly after a DMT journey.
That's when everything really turns alive in the drawing. When I did that with this one, it felt like the being drawn was aware of me looking at it. It felt like he's going to turn around any moment and look at me. It's an eerie and fascinating feeling that sends shivers down my spine. I also noticed that every little imperfection gets smoothed out by tryptamines.
I would love to go to a museum on a small dose of mushrooms one day.
Today I will start with the concept of my next drawing.

Wow! Don't know how it was possible to have missed that one, but your recent effort Fridge's DMT inspired art - Music/Art/Literature - Welcome to the DMT-Nexus is really great. Keep it up!
Thank you kindly to both of you . I might present my works for the first time in a physical exhibition this coming weekend. It's a project where people of a suburb can sign up for and present their work in their garden and whoever is interested will pop in and have a look.

That's awesome. I definitely recommend it. Opening yourself up to that kind of experience can really strengthen your resolve and further solidify your style and direction.
Cool, I have basically organized that I can join the exhibitionBill Cipher said:
. I am kind of curious about people's reactions. It's quite interesting that my drawings seem to be liked by the ones who are into psychedelics as well as others, of which I would have never thought they'll have a taste for this.It's going to be an new and interesting experience for sure!

Wow, very nice work Fridge. I like your style a lot. Keep on pushing yourself to make cool art.
Thank you Mitakuye Oyasin! The last few weeks I had quite a bit on my plate, but the coming week is dedicated to art, with the goal that I jave finished another drawing by the weekend. By the way I always enjoy seeing your profile pic whenever it pops upMitakuye Oyasin said:
.Yesterday it was the very first time that I was part of an art exhibition. I chose eight pieces. It was indeed a good experience and important to see the reactions from people viewing my drawings.
Seeing that there were all sorts of people I was a bit worried that only a fraction of them would be interested in my work, but it turned out that the majority seemed to really enjoy it. Lot's of questions came up and I didn't sense any judgement, because it's relatively obvious were I get most of my inspiration from.
I feel it was a success and that I should do it again one day, when I got a little more to show.

Thanks Fridge. The monkey-dog image made me laugh the first time I saw it, so I nicked it as my avatar for the nexus. It still brings my joy and sometimes still makes me laugh. ;-)
