the one below is not so much psychadelic as surreal.
It is of Salome and John the Baptist and is called
Frustration Attraction by Heidi Taillefer

I liked this one so much i sent her and e-mail and it sparked a conversation via e-mail about the nature of good and evil. Maybe the reverend can interview her for this blog.



I remember this man's art from a psychology textbook. He was a schizophrenic that drew cats.

Banksy

I just wanted to share today an artist I like. He is a Graffiti artist but does other work and he also has a gallery. He often uses ironic and humorous juxtaposition of imagery - mixing old idyllic images with war, crime, and poverty. His work is steeped in social commentary; but often not without a sense of humor. He has snuck his art into the Louvre in Paris as well...
