I've seen it already bro, mushrooms though.

yeah as robot said it is the "net of being" "I" think it is a clear and beautifuly ornate discription of the interplay between all sentient life. we are all connected and reflecting the same energy throughout the "net" we contain infinite cosm's both macro and micro containg all that ever was or will be. breat painting  i hate that crappy black and white tool version tho. the actual paining is much more alive, its wider and shows much more detail

I grasp the theme of interconnectedness. It is the expression, the eyes in particular, that keep me thinking about it.

alex grey often uses those nebulous galexy eyes in his paintings that dipict phychadelic facturing of the ego into the "grid" or net" oversoul, one, and the net of being are all great examples of this. they dipict the raw creative spirite of humanity manifested as a human figure. alex's use of eyes big and small all over his workrepresents all the literal "points" of veiw

Wow, thanks man. Up until now I've only seen the coloured version in fragments and people were blocking most of it (Full Moon Gathering part of Alex Grey's site). I admit it does look better with the rainbow but in all honesty, you could throw lollipops, unicorns and bubblegum into that picture and I'd still just be focused on that expression.

 i like that live painting its simple yet potent 
 fucking dragons
 earth dance
his live paintings tho lacking in detail are soaked in meaning and expression. i would love to get to see him paint some day 
as for more polished works:
 dalai lama portrait
 ohio song
 cosmic elf
 and of course the net of being 
 here is seraphic transport
i "redid: this or rather re crystalised this peice as i had a vission one day on dmt that was so strikinly similer i had to try and captire it here it is i call it "shared vision"
 not nearly as colorful but hey i like pencil
so hard to choose. i could go on forever
