Argus 01
Finished my salvaic take on the death of Argus Panoptes. This painting will be cover art for the latest version of my orally-administered salvia tek (Salvine Tek V01.01)—I'll be posting a link on my profile tomorrow.

Vertigo 01 (Ballpoint and Marker)
Developing a method of taking Salvia divinorum orally (not smoking; not quidding) and tested it today while sketching. The working title is "Vertigo"—this is how it feels to me. Reach out if you are curious about the process!

WIP - Argus 01 (Acrylic)
Getting more detail in place for this salvia-inspired take on the death of Argus Panoptes. As consciousness ends, Argus meets the ophanim and realizes how matter in this universe can’t be created or destroyed.

WIP - Argus 01 (Acrylic)
A necessary break from reality—kept quidding fresh Salvia divinorum leaves from my garden while painting and airbrushing. This went on for about six hours. Lots more work to go, but I’m happy with the result.

Bloom 01 (Ballpoint and Marker)
Probably another piece unconsciously inspired by Jeff VanderMeer (@jeffvandermeer.bsky.social) as I continue to meander through Absolution. I've always loved the idea of a flower blooming in someone’s mind.

Salvia 02 (Ballpoint and Marker)
Second attempt at capturing the effects of S. divinorum. Took a long time to figure out how to sketch this, and it still doesn't fully encapsulate the experience—starting to understand why Alex Grey paints all those lattices.

I sometimes forget that people may be interested in seeing my process—this piece is the third in a series that I’ve slowly been working on. It represents accepting absolutes as a means of changing them. Power is borrowed.

Adaptive 01 / Strange Bird 03 (Acrylic)

Mad Honey 01 (Ballpoint and Marker)
I've never had "mad honey" (honey that contains grayanotoxins). Although it's on my bucket list, I started this drawing during a time when my schedule felt chaotic—now that chaos has returned. Joy isn’t optional. Time flies.

People refer to “that salvia feeling” when discussing the effects of Salvia divinorum. I recently began growing several plants and experimenting with their effects again. This is an illustration of how it alters my perception.
