Holographic reality

Today I had a day off which was a great opportunity to disconnect myself from the outside world, finish a drawing I had been working on for more than a week, scan it and make about 98934893489 variations of it. I've decided to post only one of them today because they're all very different in terms of colours and styles, so the others can go on separate posts. 

The fun thing about editing your drawings is that you never know how they're going to end up. I usually don't expect any particular outcome and just go with the flow and see where it's going to take me. This time it just took me in many different directions and each one took me to a new destination. This is like travelling without leaving your house, and your creativity can take you on your own personal journey where no one else has ever been and will ever go. 

Come on a trip

These colourful designs are just some of my favourite ones. A random idea I got whilst experimenting with some photos, trying out some effects, thinking "wow, this looks fucking trippy, let's make some more of this" and getting really excited about it... Like REALLY excited.

I love psychedelic and colourful art, especially because at the moment where I live it's all grey and miserable and people are miserable too, when I go on public transport I really think I prefer plants over people. Surely you could just take mind altering substances and go on an adventure in the forest, but for the times when you're not it is always good to have something to look at that makes you feel like you are.

Also, for me nature is the most inspiring thing. I've noticed that all of my art is somehow inspired by it, maybe it's just because I've grown up in a beautiful place in the countryside and spending too much time in a city doesn't make me very creative. I still choose to live in cities all the time but one day I want to live in a little house in the countryside and just make art and music. Or I want to live in a castle... we'll see.

Synchronicity

Because nothing is a coincidence.

True

Sometimes you get inspiration from sources that are not operating within this reality that our two eyes can see, but once you expand your mind and open it to all possibilities, you can create a different world for yourself where magical things happen.

Bear

If people ever ask me what my style of art is, I say something like "having no sense of direction, putting random things together and adding shitloads of effects in the end so no one quite knows how I made it".

Well, that's what happened here. All I had was a random bear and it needed a home, so I made this and it looks like it's enjoying life very much in this trippy little world.

Of course I have to mention that I got the inspiration for this from my first drinking tour in Basel. Is that surprising? I guess not, since those bears look like they've been munching the acid tabs like cereal, with some wine added instead of milk. The whole bottle.

Swimming pool

You either dive into all the madness, or you stand by the side and miss out on the fun. 

I just prefer to jump right in the middle of it.
