Why shouldn't someone who likes an artists work be able to pay them to work on projects with them?
Is the artist suppose to live on praise alone?
Unless you're sending him food and shelter in the mail it's kind of silly to look down on it.
And his art is pretty damn cool

Tool Did a great thing by using their popularity to promote an artist they liked.
I and many others may never have heard of him if not for Tool.
At least not as soon.
It was Tool that also turned me onto Bill Hicks way back in the day.
And I am grateful to them for it.
and Tool is a very good band that writes music that is very intelligent as far as the hard rock genre or even popular music is concerned.
and Rosetta Stoned about DMT trip is best song ever.

in my eyes, Tool and Alex Grey's work fit together like puzzle pieces..each great on their own but together they make a more stunning picture.
I have a friend who went to a festival last summer that had Alex Grey talk about psychedelics while he painted on stage every night.
I was pretty jealous after he told me this because he didn't even know who he was at the time.

I also think it's great when musicians and artists collaborate on an album. W Eugene Smith is an artist that collaborated with Joe Henry (a musician) He dabbles in pretty much every kind of music. He had a few hits like "Trampoline" and "god only knows".
But I only bring it up because it's another great example of how illustrations can enhance music and how music can help enhance the effects of illustrations. They often work together perfectly.
plus rep for this thread.

What's wrong with this image that a kid couldn't be exposed to it?
They would have all kinds of questions, and you could answer them. "This is what we look like on the inside. This is where poop is made." "Yes, they are naked" "They are eating apples" "The picture is about a story that some people tell about how the first people were created." "That's a snake at the top, but he's not the kind that bites you. He talks in the story."
"They don't quite look like us because people have evolved over time. They look more like cavemen. Yes, like Fred and Wilma!"
You answer the questions, and surprisingly the kids are satisfied, no harm done, and your art goes up on your wall.
