He drew that last year when he was 6.  He spent over 2 hours on it, and was frustrated that the end result did not exactly represent the vision he had in his mind.  He's a trippy kid!  :grin:

I keep having dreams about Seinfeld, it's very strange. I guess that's what happens when you've seen every episode.. Seinfeld now enjoys a parallel existence in my brain.

edit: I like this picture a lot simply because it expresses very well a common experience on psychedelics

Here's another one I LOVE.
It's rather surreal than psychedelic, but here goes:


--------------------
:bunny::bunnyhug:
All this time I've loved you
And never known your face
All this time I've missed you
And searched this human race
Here is true peace
Here my heart knows calm
Safe in your soul
Bathed in your sighs

:bunnyhug: :yinyang2:

psychedelic art seems to try and present the plastic ideal of the psychedelic experience, the image representation which attempts to match reality

while surrealism seems to represent the inner logic and psychology of a trip, you can even see a kind of narrative in the pictures

“Strengthened by contemplation and study,
I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,
to diversions that I’ve dreamed of,
to the most daring erotic desires,
to the lustful impulses of my blood, without
any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

I definitly agree that there is a lot of great psychedelic art. Just like there is a lot of great psychedelic music (six organs of admittance) despite the fact that there is shit psychedelic music (most psy trance).




Yeah well... I think Six Organs of Admittance, like most "indie rock", is a fucking joke. Boring, pretentious shit that relies on being "not mainstream" to sell records. Fuck that pussy shit!

I don't even consider Psytrance to be music. It's more like a catalyst to some higher state of liberated weirdness, and is more like a digital drug (see frop), getting you to a land of Tibetan holy men and Yetis, than it is like a Beatles song.

Wait, what?

there can be an objective basis for whether a piece of art is good or bad but it really means nothing to say something sucks unless you can give an educated reason why based on a philosophical knowledge of aesthetics

:lol: I'm not gonna try and convince you to like Six Organs, but thier music is undeniably sincere. I think it's funny when people call anything groundbreaking and intellectual that they don't 'get' pretentious, no matter how honest and humble it is. And it definitly isn't 'indie rock.'

The difference between experimental psychedelic folk and something like psytrance, in my opinion, is that the former is intellectual, complex and boundary pushing while the latter is silly, derivative and relies on cheap and insulting manipulations to create its "psychedelic" effect. When I listen to it, I feel insulted. If you wanna talk about something that's a "fucking joke," how about the assertion that psytrance can bring you to a place in consciousness anywhere near what a "Tibetan Holy Man" experiences?

It reminds me of images I've seen and felt on salvia.  :eek:




That is really cool! It's beautiful. I'd love it just as much if it was made by an adult, but the fact that it was a 6 year old kid makes it that much more impressive.

Yes, I agree. In the original, the small "beads" of color are the size of grains of rice. His heartfelt effort to express a complex & highly-detailed vision was obvious.

*Balloon totally deflated* :frown:

When are you going to help your son put up his own website and claim that ancient spirits are guiding his hand in painting energy fields?
