Freedom is strange (Richard Tuttle: Artists are like clouds)

"On the verge of something great..."

Research on marijuana led to our understanding of it as a medicine. The medicalization of marijuana has led to its ongoing legalization. Similar research and medical findings are now going on with psychedelics. . .

Bob Marley - Real Situation

Welcome, August. First week, good & notable. Auspicious? Hopefully so. Enjoy.

Tom Campbell & Joe Rogan - Simulation Theory

"Days of Wonder" - I think of these as transiitonal pieces toward "less is more." I'll add more before I go less.

This list will be updated automatically. So if you're looking at this in the future, it'll be a future list - presumably.

Beck - Heart is a Drum

I listen to the new album "Morning Phase" while I work... among other things.
Hope you can listen to the album, Beck - Morning Phase

Paintings About Reincarnation: Marshall Arisman

A new video I found from one of my favorite artists detailing some of my favorite works and a bit of process of how he makes his rainbows. Generally I see the bridge between worlds as a circular door... well, rainbows are circles in their true form, but I like how he uses them symbolically.

Alan Watts - Mind Over Mind

The Transcendental Object at the End of Time

Great little video of McKenna.
It's long, but divided into sections so you needn't listen to it all or necessarily start at the beginning.
Enjoy!

Outdoor works in the wild

I currently feel the predominant religion of our planet to be nationalism. In its current form it is generally sad at best. I believe a true nationalism would transcend boundary lines to include the entire earth. Thus, a new and more beautiful nationalism would seek some pure manner of expression grounded in the vernacular of a time and place while ever-so-slightly seeking to evolve current discourse. Maybe that's what I was trying to do this fall (2014).

Symbols are the most effective means of communicating across temporal and cultural boundaries. Unfortunately, most of my symbolism will go consciously unrecognized. Fortunately, the subconscious mind has forever spoken a similar symbolic language.

The following works are part of a transition in which I move my work away from figurative representation toward minimalism.

Newer works toward top. Enjoy.
