Artist's Comments

There is such a thing as pure existence.

Photoshop and adobe Illustrator. Inspired by islamic design, the artwork of Alex Grey, DNA, Linguistic Objects and the weaving patterns of the Shapibo Indians.

Very nice!

I'm curious though...what made you want to mix all of those elements together?

I've had enough of this life, I'm leaving. It's time to return to the Land of Dreams...

There's actually a much more detailed copy that I just finished. The design is about information, consciousness and divinity. They eye's, adapted from Alex Grey's style of visionary art represents the manifold of the mind looking into and being one with infinity. The circles represent the common symmetry found in the universe. The DNA orbiting these objects is my own reference to information giving rise to sentience since I've come to believe that life is the preservation of information. The central globe is the other. The other is a common reference people have towards the experience of DMT visions, a feeling of divine consciousness or intellect that is not a part of your own being. The pattern that covers the globe comes from the Shapibo Indians who take a psychedelic drink called ayahuasca who's primary active hallucinogen is DMT.

Thanks for asking.

Well dang!

I like it even more now. :)

You've always have something so profound to share. I kinda feel bad for having given you so much pestering about it in the past.

Hope life is full for you these days...

Dope.... literally.

That'd make a bad ass album cover.

..gotta love the other. Source of inspiration, the forever hidden aspect of self.

That it is not of your own being is the cunning illusion of ego.. it is the very essence of an other; a perpetual mystery that inspires infinite creation as we look out of ourselves to rediscover 'new' reflections of our light in the waters of eternal creation.

The self is forever manifest out of this void of nothingness. Nothingness or pure potential is made into somethingness by our very experience of it, in that sense it IS us.

just my 2c.

anyway beautiful piece. love the geometry in the middle. :+fav:

It is as if we are acting as "individual neurons firing in a universal mind. Living & dying, popping in & out of this realm just like the subatomic "particles that compose the body. It is good to see "another whose research is on the same path as my own. Good to see a shift occurring in this consciousness. The deeper we go in our quest for knowledge & understanding, it seems the more wonderous life becomes,..& it's also much stranger than ever dreamed.
-I should add that this is a very sound image,very well done -the double helix is a nice touch too :)

We're one. Being observed & experienced, from infinitely different angles. Unity's ultimate truth, giving peace, love & bliss. Separation's illusion, giving suffering. Let's laugh, dance, & experience, together as One :) -buyphilocybinprints@gmail.com
