Description
"DMTea Time"11x14" Oil on Canvas
This one's about ayahuasca, a shamanic brew containing a psychoactive known as Dimethyltryptamine (or DMT). This chemical is produced in most living things, including the human brain. Its effects seem to physically place the travelers soul into another dimension, raising questions about reality and perception. Some scientist even theorize that this chemical could be the "spirit molecule" (check out Dr. Straussman's "DMT- The Spirit Molecule" book or documentary).

Man, I wanna try out ayahuasca. I smoked a bit of DMT once, it was intense. Did my best to replicate the experience on canvas with paint markers.

The pinkie, and the way the hand is clutching the cup looks strange.

I exaggerated the hand to make the pinky stand out. Thanks for the feedback!

Drainpuppet In reply to JRSlattum [2012-01-22 01:17:38 +0000 UTC]
But like, not to be an ass, but it looks like the fingers holding the cup don't align with the handle. Looks sorta physical impossibility.
