The Home Page To the Paintings Photography side My Bio Faux Finishing The Posters Jewelry page Weblog Art on Acid - New Gallery
A selection from the Vaults



.

This group of works dates from the early years, when I was just a wee teen.
I started taking recreational drugs as a youth,and this continued for some time.
One of my drugs of choice at the time was acid,
( Any clean hallucinigen, I dabbled in both natural ones and synthetics.)
as I worked very comfortably in multiple levels of reality at once.

Here are some of the early images from that time, many years ago.
I have been developing a gallery show from the series,
which will be large digital prints, some from the graphics as they were drawn,
and others from digital reworks of those images, as it fits the piece.

Enjoy them for what they are.... Artistic history as I saw it.


A Thought bubble.
This thought bubble was made during the late hours of a mescaline trip,
while travelling through Arizona.

All of these images are available as large digital prints.
Email me for quotes, until I get the first series made.

created in a comic type strip,
while in Jacksonville, Florida.
The drug of choice was a special local mushroom.
The loaded spaghetti was GREAT!

If you must force or manipulate
others to see the way to heaven,
it is not the right path.

Show them the way
by example of how you live your life,
in peace and with pleasure,
and how you are rewarded by your achievements.

Let me explain something to you about the "recreational" drugs,
such as Marijuana and the "Acids" these pictures came from.

I began the use of these mind altering substances at the early age of 14,
much to the chagrin of my parents at the time.
I used them for many years, and after a while,
my mother would come to the door and talk to my friends and I
while we smoked, but always refused to come outside with us,
until we had finished.

I did not drink any alcohol until I was 18, and at the time became of age to do so.
When the alcohol began to effect me.... I could not understand, and got very confused!
I thought someone playing a horrible joke had either poisoned me,
or given me some BADDDD drug I did not know!
I could not function well, I slurred in my speach, I started to lose my balance,
I thought I was going to DIE!!!

Later, someone let me know that it was the standard effects of the alcohol
that I had been experiencing.

I still cannot fathom why THAT is legal to use,
and my much calmer, though very thought and creativity inducing, drugs of choice at that time,
are not.
