***DAT's Art Cave***

That target painting/collage is a masterpiece Amber!

Thanks Mo. I did not have any success with the new drawing with color pencils so tried straight paint and did not like that either. So I ripped up that new drawing. I think I will just go back to the way I did the older one, by painting the small target circles and cut them out then glue them down .
Found this dope Gumby DVD in the 5 dollar bin at Walmart. It came with this very adorable Gumby!

Same.

DAT, what's up? Been missing you sharing art here with us. Hope everything is cool!

Awe, thanks for kind thoughts! I appreciate themyeah been on a creative break and haven't started the new piece , but thinking about it often.
I have been focusing my energy more on my health . Having developed gastritis, I have unfortunately had to stop ganja in any form...as it irritates me terribly. so I've not been partaking And miss it very much. I have Been reading a lot of books and hitting the gym everyday...working out intensely determined to get to my goals. My father was diagnosed with end stage pancreatic cancer so I have been trying to come to terms with that in a healthy way. So it's been quite helpful reading up on how to cope with anxiety and using a technique called "compassion focused therapy "which involves a lot of meditation and ways to help focus on the present moment.


I do hope you all are well.
And hope you have an awesome summer!

Take care

Hey, DAT, good to hear from you again, but I am sorry to hear that about your illness and your father's health. I really hope things turn around for you in a more positive direction. It's great that you've been staying healthy and reading, and I hope you achieve your goals. I know you will!
I will miss your art and funny comments. Thank you for sharing your awesome art with us! If you get a chance to draw or sculpt again, please make sure to share it, I'm sure we're all looking forward to seeing it! Please take care of yourself, my friend. Peace out!

Hey The dab rig is cool, are you using it? I heard you can get pretty stoned.
The painting looks great so far, is it acrylic? The colors remind me of these crazy pencils I used to like using when I was little, they looked like this


The poems are interesting.

those pencils are trippy! Yeah i used the dab rig once so far and it is very nice and the hits are extreamly powerful. That lil rig was only $39 and comees with a dab stick, a holding chamber for your stash and an easy top to take off and clean. It has a titanium nail so no fragile glass involved and its silicone. Check out this goofy stoner review the Eyce in his video. This is the one I have but in black and grey.
I bought a Yucan Evolove vape pen for dabbs but returned it because it made the oil taste like sucking on a car battery. I was so bloody stoned but didnt know if i was also poisioned from sucking on battery because i also almost puked. So i returned it because i never wanted to taste a repulsive hit like that again and this the Eyce silicone dab rig is so much cleaner. Those vape pens are really terrible and a huge hassle recharging and turning on and shit, i cant recommend them at all. I will be taking this little guy in my backpack, He is practaclly INDESTRUCTABLE! The painting is mostly acryllic with some watercolor . I am smoking on some Chem Dawg 4 and Blackberry Kush flower as wel.. The dabs are so strong and tolerance will go up so fast with it, going to mix bong hits into the program. There is a lighter the guy at the smoke shop told me about that sounds really great for bongs. IT vapes the flower and gives very clean tasty hits. Its a plumbers torch. It has a blower in it so you have to light and hit at the same time or the flower will fly out. Will investigate it a bit more, pricey, like a hundred plus for it, but if you have asthma or problems breathing or terrible allergies it is sopposed to be killer. Plus you can reallyt taste the differences in strains and flavors spot on.
Have a beautiful day!

Hey, that sounds good, I'm just glad you're feeling better. Yeah, the guys here are getting lots of vape pens, but I've been hesitant to try since there is a no refunds policy where I live, and I've heard they can be duds.
The lighter sounds interesting, lmk, what its called. I've been using hemp wick recently, tastes pretty clean vs bic.

Thanks for the video. I used to watch his stuff when I first started smoking, it was funny as hell.

The sleep stuff I was talking about is summed up pretty well in this video, especially with what I've been dealing with lately. It helped me feel better to understand and change things in my life to adjust, it's still pretty new to me.

old weed, like 3 or 4 years old has high CBn and makes you sleepy. lol. I dont think i would smoke weed that old to get sleepy. Weed that old might
have other things in it that would be very bad for you like mold. Seems like taking a sleeping pill might be a better choice. .lol
I prefer fresh weed much more then old weed.I Several years ago, I smoked a stain called Chocolope and i remember it had some Major sedative qualitys.

that guy in the video is cute. He has a freaky lazy eye kinda lookin like Egor. I pops and goes cross sometimes..and i liked how he was flaunting his arms around in the air, i was waiting for him to knock is bong over and break it. lol. Please someone give that guy a silicone bong before i have an anxiety ATtack!! lol.

have you found a strain that helps you sleep?

Started Painting with my left hand.
Ran out of memory on my phone till next week but the painting is still going!
Im getting heavy into a really nuclear green color. The green a lot like the green that rollitup uses , like in the color bar below. The tree has been the most challenging part. I want to really keep the OREGON landscape feel going , Green and Wet. It rained quite a bit today and its still chilly enough . The pollen is insanely bad. Worst in the world. This is the grass seed capital of the world. But come July 1, the grass stops growing and the pollen goes away. Then it will be good for 7 months.

Yeah I think he's pretty funny too. I'm pretty sure he's done that actually, knocked his bong over. He's cool though.
A strain to help sleep? Not really, the only thing that helps is drawing, even the indica strain doesn't put me to sleep, but it does help me see things more clearly, and relaxes my mind. I'm just trying to smoke less at night, and it seems to be helping. Why are you painting with your LEFT hand?

I am painting with my left hand because my right shoulder,neck and elbow are fucked up. I have been in training this past week at work and was taking a lot of handwritten notes, very quickly, and my shoulder/neck were KILLIN me from using it
it like that. And the keyboard in the new Lab was too high on a counter and that fucked up my neck as well.
Surprisingly i have really good control with the paint and my left hand was much more precise and controlled then my right. My right paining hand is TERRibly Sloppy and lazy. But i loooovvveee painting with my right,even when it hurts. SO its nice to give it a break and switch off. Entombed Rocks.
Fuck Yeah Entombed! One of the best metal shows I ever saw. I would love to see them in concert again. The next metal show for me is SLAYER!! in August . I hope its real hot that day. Im looking foward to it very much. Have you seen a picture or Tom lately? OMG, he really looks terrible. Bloated and old , with a solid white grey beard and shit. I hope he dont drop dead on stage.
What metal band would you like to see in concert?

I'm sorry to hear that it's still fucked up. Is the flower/oil helping with pain? You should be able to get pretty sedated with the dabs. Are you still eating the medicated candies throughout the day?

Do you remember that one artist you showed me before who did landscapes? I think he was on DMT. Your landspace painting reminds me of his work a bit, its very calm and peaceful. I like it so far, keep up the great work!
I've only done a couple of paintings. I did this one with acrylic paint about 10 years ago, what do you think? I hadn't perfected skulls at that point



Here's a colored pencil flaming demon skull I did recently, no ink on this one, also it looks huge, but its actually a pretty tiny sketch:


Hell yes, Slayer and Entombed RULE.
No, I hadn't seen a pic of him, he doesn't look that bad.

Have you heard the new Metallica album? It's pretty good I think, check this out!!!

There are too many metal bands I want to see, but these come to mind: At the Gates, Carcass, Morbid Angel, Opeth, Electric Wizard

Got my Painting easle out.
Ripped up that last painting i was working on.

It was a good warm up piece.
Started a new piece.
a Tryptic series of cut outs called
:OREGON SUnSHINE. .

its hard not to think about Henri Matesse when i do cut outs.
He was so Brilliant. So inspiring!

Cut outs are really fun. Its like Painting with Scissors.
You should try it. Try some skulls like that painting you did up above.
I am using a tall realm of thick color paper, so i have a nice range of colors to use... I Think i picked it up at Staples for under 10 bucks.

Matisse was so great..... the master of the cutouts. THis is a rather inpirational short video you should watch.
