I’m going to address the recommendations from the prior post alphabetically. Not only is that logical, it also conveniently leaves the most disturbing work for last. In light of that, I’d like to direct your attention to the work of artist Alex Grey. Fans of the band Tool will recognize Grey’s artwork throughout the band’s last 2 albums, Lateralus and Ten Thousand Days. If you happen to not be a fan of the aforementioned band, do not discount Grey’s work by way of throwing the proverbial baby out with the proverbial bathwater. You owe it to yourself to give his work some attention. Grey is able to visualize and render onto canvas non-physical realities, or at least an interpretation of these realities, like no other artist that I’ve ever encountered. He has also captured the human body, physically and non-physically, in a truly unique and engaging way.
Please go to his websites and view his work.
The actual DVD that I own, shown in the image in the prior post, is his COSM: The Movie. This DVD basically consists of Grey giving a guided tour of his Chapel of Sacred Mirrors. You can purchase the DVD at the following link:

It should go without saying that I reap no benefit from your purchasing this DVD, or anything from anyone that I recommend. None of the people who’s work I recommend even know that I exist. The only benefit to me is the knowledge that I have hopefully caused a net improvement to humanity by hopefully convincing a couple of individuals to expose themselves to works that will either improve them as people, even if only in minute ways, or otherwise broaden their perspective on life, which is also a win as far as I’m concerned.
However, if I do ever sign up for like an Amazon affiliate type of situation as has been recommended to me, that information will be publicly declared and not hidden in any way. Cause, ya know, webhosting ain’t free and whatnot… though I do enjoy an employee discount…
Depending on which way the wind blows, the next post will either be another recommendation elaboration situation or… not.
