Fork, I think he has some on his deviant page.

????????, ever thought (maybe you already had) of trying to paint collored paintings with mediums like oil, pastels, acrylic or something like that?
Or maybe save for a Wacom tablet (you can get one for 50€ more or less), and make some cool works with it.

the milkyway seen from my very favourite place :)

that was a crazy night, I saw 2 satellites, an incredible number of stars, venus and one huge falling star, the biggest I've ever seen. it was even slightly green.
a friend of mine took a picture only of stars, and he counted (well, a program did) 17313 stars on that single picture.

BEAUTIFUL!!! How larg eis the picture! I want a poster! PLEASE!

 

[Twilight]

That is so awesome!! :D :D

You just inspired me to try to make a pic like that too. :P

 

[Caduceus Mercurius]

There's a face in the Milky Way! :shock:

What a beautiful image!

 

[ararat]

thanks a lot :D
I didn't even notice the face o.o

the file is 3600x2500 or something like that. so a poster should well be possible. pm me if you really want one :)

I remember, it's fun making drawings like that when you're stoned. I don't do it anymore, but here are some from 1993. Oh, and the part where it shows the page number, in the third pic, I'm quite sure I was also stoned when I designed that one.

The articles are a text about the views of Desmond Morris and a review of a Smashing Pumpkins gig in Paradiso, Amsterdam.

 

[Caduceus Mercurius]

...and this one.

 

[Twilight]

:D That looks fun!

Was that really a paper for a school? (Because of the drawings around the page numbers. :lol: )

 

[Caduceus Mercurius]

Yes, together with a friend I published 8 school papers, I think within a timespan of three years, and there were lots of outrageous images and writings in there. We had a little office in the basement of the school, at the end of a dark, narrow hall, where there was very little supervision and so lots of experimentation and loud music. During lunch breaks the local hippies would gather there and celebrate life. 8) There were some older kids, and from them I got to know Huxley, Hesse, Hendrix etc. I did very little writing or drawing in the basement. I did most of that in my room, late at night.

Something about the trauma of birth on page 8...

 

[Twilight]

Dat is leuk geschreven allemaal zeg!
Heb je nog meer? :D

 

[Caduceus Mercurius]

Yeah, a couple more, but I probably shouldn't post them here. This eight edition was particularly influenced by psychedelics. I think you'll like the following one, though it's a bit negative. It's about social pressure to be part of a certain group, with its favorite type of music, specific way of dressing etc. The article is about not fitting into any category, and not wanting to either.

 

[Twilight]

Thanks for posting that. :)

i can't understand those school articles but they look interesting hehe. i'm sure i'd have read them if they were on my school.

trying to paint collored paintings with mediums like oil, pastels, acrylic or something like that?

you know i've never done any paintings. my right hand is already fined-tuned to draw things so i think i would make some good stuff. tagged for future hobbies, i guess.

Wacom tablet

I remember the first drawing I made in that state. It was a word actually, written on the wall of a friend, but it took me several minutes to draw each letter. The complex shapes (I guess the stoned drawings you're referring to) were also made very slowly and carefully, enjoying the process rather than striving for a particular end result. I also wrote a short poem about one of my first times being high. I could translate that, so you can read it. I think it will sound familiar. :wink:
