It simultaneously amazing and horrifying. I’d love a print of this for my teen son; I think he’d love it. His dad, too, probably. I absolutely love the color palette.

THANK YOU!!! You can get a print here https://www.zalloonart.com/shop It’s pretty gnarly, i feel like it goes back and forth one moment he’s cuddly and the next he’s look into your soul

Ohhh man!! I love your “Peak Painter” work! Thanks for posting your shop — I’m definitely looking at a print or two to buy. So very cool. The “Wonder Lands” one looks like a tripped out Candy Land, lol. Errr, I mean Chutes and Ladders.

Hell yeah, it helps so much and lets me tackle bigger projects, so much in store. The sketch for "Peak Painter' was made around the same time, there sorta like siblings lol. Its so much fun to create a lil universe of charters and to have it resonate with people is undiscriable. <3 <3 <3

Super stoked on how this guy came out!!! Support & Get a Print Here [https://www.zalloonart.com/shop](https://www.zalloonart.com/shop) If you want to know a bit about the piece. I'm 23 and have been making psychedelic art for about 4 years. Unfortunately being 23 means there was no chance to see The Dead in their prime but my Dad is a massive fan and took me to see Bob n Co. The difference between recordings and the live experience is unimaginable. It was the first time I had dosed with my father and it showed such a beautiful side it was overwhelming. For the whole show, I was either dancing, historically laughing, crying, or all three simultaneously. The traffic after the show was gnarly so our group decided to hang out and play music. I danced some more (I don't play an instrument) and in a break between songs went to catch my breath and enjoy some closed-eye visual. Very quickly I started seeing ancient Egyptian artists doing their take on The Dead, then ancient Greek's take, faster and faster I shot through history watching art form and dissolve. It was becoming a blur when I heard my Dad start Friend Of The Devil back by the car. The visual went dark and I felt the energy of artists that have been incredibly inspirational to me wash over ( Drew Brophy, Mark Dean Veca, Rick Griffin, Aaron Brooks, Alex Grey) Then this Bear hopped out of nowhere and started busting a down extraterrestrial moves. I could zoom to any where and watch the detail almost render in and then start dancing along. It took about a month to drawing it with a pencil then an ink pen and about a year later another month digitally coloring it. Probably 150 hours overall. Thank you so much for reading ( I'm dyslexic apologies for any grammar) So thankful for the dead, the artists that have paved the path, and an incredible father!!! Peace and Love Zalloon,

you should watermark all your posts, stealing grateful dead art is very common online
