About this Blog
I started this blog in 2007 to put some of my art on the internet. Here you will also find a lot of posts about other art that I like (or don't like), and other art-related topics. To see all of my art in one place, please visit my regular website (see link above).
I'm also a guitar player. I have a SoundCloud website where you can hear my original electric guitar instrumentals, ambient electronic music, and some other odds & ends (see link below).
I hope you find something of interest here on my blog. Comments are encouraged! Thanks for stopping by.

Beautiful work. She looks very similar to someone I encounter with my friend Dimitri.
Wow! Met this elf in the form of a tree. thx for sharing. the similarities are soo close.
I don't have any personal experience w/ ayahuasca or dmt, but I've read about it and find it fascinating. I did not set out to draw a machine elf; rather, I just drew this sketch one night and when I was done, I thought that it looked kind of like some of the descriptions that I have read about. Guess I was right. :-)
Books on this topic I have read are:
"Supernatural" by Graham Hancock (fascinating!)
"Fishers of Men: The Gospel of an Ayahuasca Vision Quest" by Adam Elenbaas (pretty interesting)
"The Cosmic Serpent" by Jeremy Narby (still in the middle of this one)
Also very interested in Rick Strassman's work, but have only ready a few snips here and there.
I'm really interested in visionary art, but don't use entheogens. Love reading about it though, and am a big fan of Alex Grey etc.
Glad you like the art.

It would be nice to have a picture of a machine elf at wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_elf).
Is the picture of yours FREE TO USE, or is it copyrighted?

I'm pleased that you would want to put my art on a Wikipedia page for "machine elf". I am the creator/owner of the artwork, and you have my permission to use it on Wikipedia ONLY. I would appreciate it if you would give me a credit and a link to my blog. Thank you!
