Yeh, fair props to the guy for having the talent, resources and selflessness to get this going - I don't know how much something like this would have helped me or my peers when we were out on the far reaches of the acid journey - a long circuitous route that eventually (sooner rather than later), brings one back to exactly where one was - albeit it with slightly more worried parents and a wish to, you know - get back to farming our own food and, like, everything like that..
It's a vital part of becoming a fully aware and functioning human in the 21st century, but it is, like anything real in our culture, surrounded by the biggest bullshitters one could ever imagine.
The art of story-telling - as vital, ancient and magic a human activity as any has as it's focus the devil's asshole that is hollywood, you can go to prison for getting your music the wrong way, and to psychedlically explore the mind one has to walk the gauntlet between prison-death and new-age string-haired fuckery. Fuck both of those. Spritual and psychic exploration wears no mask and to represent it stylistically in the same old tired way does it and us a great disservice and serves only to continue its marginalisation from the rest of this broken shabby little world.
Nice drawings though, would have been better with Obama having just black for eyes.
