Haha great reaponses. Yeah I think I do remember him talking about dmt a lot in a couple interviews. I just tend to see a lot of his work while I'm on lsd. Plus I haven't done dmt much. If I could pause some of the visuals I have on L, it would be almost identical his work...
Either way, just curious how much of what he was or was doing. Interesting guy.

I like his art, just the bodies with no skin creep me out when I'm tripping.
He used to paint for medical text books, that's why most of the people in his paintings are all veins and muscles and no eye lids and shit.
I've never seen people without skin ever, not while tripping at least. I don't know where he's getting that from. I've smoked huge doses of DMT and moderate sized doses of LSD.

Its probably a metaphor as in "on psychedelics, I 'see' inside you". As in you can hear people's thoughts and emotions, so he likely took it one step further and made people "see thru".
Or possibly he is just using his textbook artistry. Who knows

It might be a combination of the two.
Psychedelics just bring out what's already in your mind, and if he's spent a lot of time painting skinless people for medical textbooks, that might be something that actually manifests in his trips.

Alex and his wife Allyson were on Duncan Trussell's podcast recently and mentioned they trip maybe a few times a year, they're not rocking it too hard nowadays. I don't think you need to when you've done as much as they probably have in the past.

Yeah, and plus with all his events and being head of his Cosm church, I'm sure he is kept quite busy. I'd be intrigued to visit his church. If you wanna call it that I guess

And obviously DMT

You're probably spot on my friend. The one you describe as LSD seems obvious because of the connection between musicians and LSD, i love to shred on acid! and I have seen third one on DMT. I flew through that shit!

I wish he would come up with new concepts for his paintings though....
seems like he constantly re-use the same gimmicks, and believe me, I deeply admire his talent and dedication. he could do so much more though.
I read one of his books that he wrote in the 90s, he knows art history very well !

I agree, he could do more with landscapes IMO and try to paint more architectural stuff, maybe get more cultural too and use some oriental or indian stylings.
