Wow, in your case I think that the process and the recounting of it are part of the art! The final painting seems so different now that we know the thoughts of its protagonists and the previous stages of their existence. Maybe it should be a video-clip, with appendages sprouting and Mr Crazy Bone's form diluting to abstract shapes. Maybe we can have also a glimpse at the other Poke-greys of his collection? Did he catch them all?!
This painting and the previous ones are like depicting an acid-trip, LSD-induced visions. Somehow, the shamanic references and the alter-egos, remind me of Castaneda's mushroom experiences. Thanks for describing the whole process in such detail.
@nyarlathotep You are right. For me often the challenge lies in trying to convey the process, as very often it is psychedelic and quite abstract in a given moment, though that moment might be absolutely quintessential to the evolution of the work as a manifestation. Still, documenting, and describing the visual narrative helps to elucidate some of that. Haha yes, Mr. Crazy Bones most definitely would have a collection of greys that he's caught with a variety of methods, I'm sure. Castaneda is exactly relevant to Mr. Crazy Bones, as a shaman, losing his human form as a method of doing work relating to these grey entities. Good call!
Thanks for taking the time and giving your attention to this little novella, by the way. I'm glad you could enjoy the insight and appreciate the work.
