Luke Brown: Third Eye Gomorrae

Salvia Dalinorum (reversed) - Luke Brown c. 2006
Visit Spectraleyes.com to see more genius works by this artist. His name is Luke Brown and according to his website "His art has been shown internationally with such visionary heavyweights such as Alex Grey, HR Giger, Robert Venosa and Ernst Fuchs. He is currently a resident of the lush Elfinstone rainforest in BC Canada, one of an infinite number of parallel universes in which he resides within simultaneously." (more here) One look at his amazing art, and I don't doubt these words one bit.

Greenman - c. 2004 Luke Brown
Baphoment - detail (c. 2006 Luke Brown)
Seeing his work for me is like a man who's been to Africa and no one believes his stories of giraffes and elephants, then he goes to the zoo and is like "wow! So I'm not crazy!" Beeee-yootiful!

The Pyshcedelic Coziness of Chelsea Rose


Chelsea Rose: my kind of artist - doin' it for herself, selling an array of cool, reasonably priced T-shirts and prints on her site, working a blog that mixes biography, thoughts, observances, and artistic output, and generally blowing minds and opening inner doors while remaining unique but comforting and true to her clearly gentle and sweet self. I especially love the mermaid above, with the mix of chaotically/adorably swirling sea hair and full lipped, contented smile. The body art at top is amazing in its uniformity and tribal power. I found her only because she replied to a post on here, in February that I just now found. I'm so glad I did! Check her blog out here and Fine Arts shop here.
