This was an artist I met a couple of years ago at an art market in Portland, Oregon. While I was talking to him and admiring his work, we had a great conversation about psychedelics and visionary art. But instead of sharing with you that conversation, I'll just let his art do the talking.

For me, I think they'd be the basis for some amazing animation, but as static art they don't grab me, sorry...there's something about 'faceless' characters which makes them very hard to pull off.

Perhaps compare with something like this, by Remedios Varo, and the human details incorporated into the magical vision:

Thank you very much Art. Yeah I love his stuff. I actually have the print posted (technically its my GFs, but I still get to look at it 😁 .

The picture I put up is called "DMTea Time".

And while I do take credit for the creation of the crystals, well half credit (I only set up the timer and the temperature as well as choose a seed crystal. I can't predict what they look like. Though by varying time and temp I can make the crystallization large or very tiny), I take no credit for the close-ups of the crystals, which my sweetie(TimeGearingBlocks) posted in the ART thread. Those macros, that's all her doing.
 
It's interesting Chan, the picture you posted doesn't really do it for me. Though I will say I do like the surreal beekeeper motif.

I do like a few of his though. Useless Science or the Alchemist is one I saw that really drew me in, and there was one called The Calling which I liked.

I guess that's how art goes. The beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
 
:| :d 😁 :lol: Awesome. I had my suspicions. We had an nice chat about his picture DMTea Time, and he asked if I had done ayahauska, and I told him no that I only smoalked. Then not long afterward, I did aya for the first time.

Also that banner is awesome!
