Description Got the idea for this one from a meditation I had.

24 x 36 inches

Acrylics


This took me a while, it was hard on my mind, lol. I didn't want to rush it either. I saw some of Alex Grey's work up close recently and it inspired me to put more effort and patience into my work.

Thats it I guess.

Thanks. Lots of people typically feel that way about this particular one, I think cuz I let the shrooms do the painting for me. There's so many just subtle shapes in there that when looking at sober after I was like whoah. For about a month I felt pretty wierd looking at the painting, it was like a flashback.

I think there is a lot of feeling and imagery in our subconcious that we all sort of mutually relate to and maybe the shrooms helped bring some of that out. I don't know. I had the idea from a meditation, and decided to go for it. Sort of more of a discriptive yin / yang type idea to me only not completely accurately but still the intent was there. Pretty much how I felt about the message of life.

Peace, thanks for the compliments.

GREAT WORK HERE!

Did my second DMT ceremony this past weekend at the Ocala Rainbow Gathering. A Shaman led me through it and it was AMAZING> I left my body and flew out of the universe and looked back, then suddenly galaxy became the people dancing around the fire and playing drums. I came back into my body and yelled in joy (YEEEHAW!) threw my hat in the air and was circled by my close friends and NOTHING but loving floating faces. They each joined me in space as they took their hits. We floated there for a few moments and I cam back filled with ABSOLUTE LOVE and PEACE!

Iowa ska is next!

right on man. I think you'd like Ayahuasca. I went down to Peru and went through a travel agency to take me to the amazon jungle, very touristy and I just wanted to hang out with the local people in the nearby village instead, but through the tourism agency they for a price will hook you up with a local shaman for an Ayahuasca experience. That was something else to say the least, did it the next night too. The jungle was so alive too, pictures and videos don't do it justice.

Amazing stuff eh? Awesome man! Love your work BTW.

I think if more people would open themselves up to these experiences they would have a better understanding of the world and the power of love and acceptance.

Keep up the great work, I will let you know about the trip

Grabbing some mushrooms for the Puscifer show in Atlant next week. WILL BE AMAZING i am sure.

(No such thing as a bad trip if your respectful and honor the spirits that bring you to that place.)

Namaste

Yeah, this painting gives me "reminders" of what it's like to see in "extra-dimensional" vision. I think you've demonstrated very eloquently, in 2 dimensions, what it's like to be able to see in a world that does not have any boundaries.

i have never seen anything like this. Truely a great piece of art, feels like you have taken an image out of my head during a trip. I always wanted to do something like this but i lack the artistic skills. If you ever consider selling it or making a copy please contact me I would be honored to buy it from you.

SteveGriffith In reply to croydon [2010-01-23 20:43:18 +0000 UTC]

Thanks man. I had a print up on another site, which I use because I make more then like a DOLLAR off a print then what I would here. I can't say I've ever sold a print on the internet so it doesn't really matter! But regardless, right now I am having some computer problems and i don't have my print size files currently, but that's ok because I made some changes to this piece anyway, just highlights really, tried to clean the top up a little bit.

And yes, I hear ya, that's what I was trying to do, take THAT.. and try to visually represent it the best I could trying to convey the miiindset of it rather then just the appearance. Yeah I had help for that. ha

I will send you a message when I get a bigger file uploaded, might be today even, but i always say that.

Thanks for your interest!

thanks, i would love to have it in my room. i hope the print won't take away the deepth in the painting. a bold question, would you consider selling the original painting? it would mean alot to me.

thanks for all the kind feedback. I think your diggin' on the same level I am. I just finished this one piece but I don't have a very good picture of it yet.. very rough, missing details, blurred, etc etc.. but check it out:

SteveGriffith In reply to theelegantuniverse [2009-11-25 05:05:44 +0000 UTC]

again, thank you. I struggled to get this one out until I waited a little while and then it just flowed. It was a challenge, but some little mushrooms would have helped! Perfect in small quanitities. .. only problem is you start feeling your 3rd eye, start to meditate a little and before you know it you are able to synthesize some a lot more DMT on your own and then your in a whole other world no longer so conducive for intricate painting! A friend of mine bought me a bottle of french absinthe so maybe i'll get into that and end up cutting my eyes out to "see" the painting process in a light more fitting to the mood, lol. Serious though, I wish I had the creative freedom some people have, I had to train myself to be less methodical and structured, its an earthly nature of mine. I know a guy who can paint perfect beautiful fractals without any reference, that amazes me. Anyways, thanks agaiN! take care.
