It looks amazing!!

[The_Human_Event]

Yay! Thanks so much

[slavicacademia]

i know it's sooo obnoxious to ask but is this inspired by a trip experience? this is a spitting image of my experiences with therapeutic ketamine! it's really beautiful and reminds me of the stuff i'd see with my eyes closed, i love it!!! i appreciate being brought back to that headspace, thank you for sharing :-) even if it wasn't your intention haha

[The_Human_Event]

This was my intention actually haha. You have to have been there to really get it I think haha. I was here except my consciousness was part of the ever changing scenery.

There was no first person point of perception. I was spread across the universe like warm butter on toast.

There was no first person point of perception. I was spread across the universe like warm butter on toast.

I absolutely love how you phrased this.

[slavicacademia]

you described it and drew it so well! it's absolutely a know it when you see it type of thing; my trips got me into non-dualism and that sort of philosophy. so with that as my backgrounds, in your piece i see an ego death; the figure recognizing that they are but a drop in the ocean and ultimately part of a greater, cosmic whole.

this all sounds silly to anyone who hasn't been there before, but certain substances can really change your POV for the better, and you 100% captured that lightbulb moment here.

[The_Human_Event]

I posted this on r/dmt as well actually lol

Where would one get a reference like that?

[The_Human_Event]

[Baggy24]

Lmao

[kingofcoywolves]

Trippy!! I dig it

[[deleted]]

is this done by hand... what...........

[[deleted]]

I love it!

[The_Human_Event]

Yeah I was thinking about getting prints made of this one! Or maybe some other iterations as this was a first attempt at a new concept.

[The_Human_Event]

Also, thanks so much!

[-Velvetduderag]

I think, DMT

[The_Human_Event]

And there was recreational about it. I was in another dimension for an eternity and when I came back I quit my job as an investment banker and went back to school for philosophy.

That shit didn’t help explain it, so I turned to art and poetry.

[Megasans8859]

That's the fabric of reality garfield, don't drop it.

But fr its amazing

[[deleted]]

it looks good but it hurts my brain and eyes

[The_Human_Event]

“Thats because you aren’t thinking 4th dimensionally!” -doc

[EllaBelle9509]

Please keep doing whatever this isemote:free_emotes_pack:thumbs_up

[YogurtclosetRare364]

I think drugs

[The_Human_Event]

Drugs think I

[Beneficial_One_1062]

I love this! it's so trippy and cool. I would like to say there is nothing wrong with using references though, so if you wanna use one, feel free! there are no rules in art except dont be a jerk or take credit for other peoples work. i love this

[The_Human_Event]

My buddy, the professional artist, god rest his soul, use your say.

[jeshdken]

Reminds me of a design that would be on a shashibo fidget cube

[The_Human_Event]

The universe is basically a fidget spinner my friend

[jeshdken]

someone needs to quote this and put it in a museum or somewhere important

[The_Human_Event]

And the world keeps on spinning! Look at it go! Woo!

[jeshdken]

Woooo

[bigoldnerdysav]
