Psychedelic Ink

Hey Everyone, hope you're all having a great week.

I have been trying to get back into the swing of drawing after taking about a month off.
This is an automatic drawing that I did over the course of two nights with ink pens, markers, and metallic paint pens. It is more therapy for me than anything. I try not to think about what I'm doing when I make drawings like this, I just want it to be an organic process.

This is great automatic drawing, Eriks :). The result of your subconscious looks awesome, colourful, and unraveling.

Congrats for getting your first curie vote ^_^.

I see there some space ships, lots of futuristic cars and a royal palace :) Looks like a galaxy to me..

Your mind seems to be very busy and creative..I like when artists just create without thinking. Then you can see how they really are and you can also experience their full creativity.

Well done! Congratulations on your curie vote! :)

I'm not sure what you mean by automatic drawing, but this is very interesting and intriguing. I can look in just a small area for quite a while to discover it. The metallic paint makes a great accent.

I really like how your have such a clear, uncluttered style but yet show so much detail. I am very impressed with the short time it took you to do this.

i would love to know how large this work is. Thanks for posting it.

@magicdice is a scam that used an insider who farmed the vast majority of their MAGIC Tokens via an insider deal and reaps over 25% of the daily dividends due to this deal. They are not to be trusted.

With so much going on, I can't find the original thought but appreciate the absurdity of this piece. Interesting art of letting yourself loose with the lines and going with the flow. Simple yet effective in capturing eyes.

This is quite a "doodle"! To be something you don't think that much about it is quite elaborate and structured.
It is certainly organic, in the sense that the forms flow and intermingle without an apparent pre-determined design.
It is awesome. I can see T-shirts displaying it.
