Studio corner. Sometimes near the end of an evening after working on other projects I will do a little self portrait. They capture more passing feelings and shadows than most of my other work.

Remembering Albert Hofmann who died 11 years ago today on April 29, 2008. He was such an important person in our lives it was an honor to have him sign the back of my portrait of him, “St Albert and the LSD Revelation Revolution” back on January 11, 2006. He was so kind and made a picture of the molecule. Allyson and I had not been back to Basel Switzerland since we had attended the 2008 Psychedelic Conference but were invited to Basel in 2017 by wonderful conference organizer Lucius Wertmuller. After our workshop he had a special relic that he and Hofmann’s family wanted to offer our psychedelic reliquary at Entheon. I brought Lucius a tapestry of my newest painting Albert Hoffman and the New Eleusis. In the painting there is a crown hovering above the head of Hofmann. The special relic we received was one of his favorite hats. An afterlife wink from the man who once said to me “You’ve got the Eye!” Thank you so much Dr Hofmann. buildentheon.com

"If you can see, you have nothing else to do, because in that seeing there is all discipline, all virtue, which is attention. . . . Then where you are, you have heaven: then all seeking comes to an end. . . . Real seeing brings with it this extraordinary elimination of time and space." —Krishnamurti .
