>>7593083>>7593104Thank you so much for the compliments. They mean a lot. I don't get much feedback, and when I do it's silence. I don't know what people think of my art, but I do it for me.
I didn't start drawing these abstracts until I had tried DMT in a safe environment with a good friend. I have to thank him for the invitation. DMT is also referred to as "The Spirit Molecule." It's a drug that naturally occurs in life at birth, death, and extrenuating circumstances. Joe Rogan never shuts up about it on his podcast. Ha!
Anyway, I felt an urge to draw one of these abstracts with my friend to record what it was that I saw during the experience. It was in black and white. I haven't seen it since I have drawn it, but I gave it to him as a cherished gift.
I have left my art to rot in fields and abandoes throughout Detroit, Michigan, United States. I have given them to anyone and everyone, especially to those whom I deem as worthwhile - typically the poor, children, or adults that have done me a solid (like, fixing something in my house or installing a dishwasher).
I know I will one day, some way be known. But, it is not at stakes in terms of vanity. I don't mind not being known in my lifetime. I am lucky with my wife and our son. I was a chemist, but have left the field due to its environmental impact and poor conditions on employee health.
I am an artist now. I also draw Mandalas, and have drawn over 10,000 faces in my lifetime. I am 34. I began rapping at 32. I have more to tell, and you'll know me some day as the name "byron." "byron" in lower-case letters as homage to my favorite rhymer, MF DOOM. But, also as a dark reflection for the name my older brother used to maliciously tease me with. My real name is Bryan.
I will tell you more in my next post...
