Psychedelic Pictures


Bookmark and Share


Psychedelic pictures and images from around the web. Here I'd like to present to you a list of my favorite psychedelic picture resources. Apart from mixing psychill and psybient music, psychedelic art is another passion that consumes a fair chunk of my time. If I'm not drawing it I'm usually reading about it's history, the artists backgrounds and their inspirations for the psychedelic pictures they come up with.

psychedeli picturesTo begin with, one of the best psychedelic art repositories you can visit these days is psychedelicart.com. This site is contains a massive collection of old retro psychedelic bill posters from the 60s and 70s. Each of the psychedelic posters can be viewed in detail along with information relating to it such as the artists name, bands promoted, venue and production date. An excellent site for inspiration for you next psychedelic picture.

Next you might want to check out the visionary artists vault over at Erowid.com. This is a commercial free site that includes an enormous amount of artwork from psychedelic artists around the world. You can spend hours here browsing through the directories ! Both amateur and professional psychedelic artist works can be found here. For a quick overview select the curator's picks link for a fine selection of free psychedelic pictures.

Some eight years ago I signed up at a little website called DeviantArt.Com. I joined the then newly formed psychedelic art forum and started uploading art. It's amazing to look back now and see just how far the site has come. From it's humble beginnings into a fully fledged internet star. DeviantArt has been helping to promote artists of kinds for many years now and psychedelic artists are well represented there ( if you can ignore all the dodgy anime stuff ! ) . What I like about it is the supportive communities that form there where you can swap ideas and drawing/painting techniques and materials. I've have learned so much from the other psychedelic artists there and continue to do so each week. Have a look today - there is a lot of great trippy art to be found in their galleries.

Another visionary art archive with a number of psychedelic pictures is the Society for Art of Imagination website. This is a excellent storehouse of imaginative and sacred art that is of the highest quality.

psychedelic picturesSpeaking of sacred art, one site that actively encourages its members to share their spiritual creations is Lila.com. This is an excellent portal that can keep you up to date on the latest news in the visionary and psychedelic art worlds. There you can find lots of articles, artist interviews, and extensive online gallery of psychedelic pics and exhibition schedules.

Another huge surreal gallery with a good number of psychedelic pictures is the Surreal Art Collective at beinArt.org. This is a very well supported sight with active forums that allow you to get in contact with fellow artists to share ideas. One of the central aims of beinArt.org is to show the work of internationally renowned artists like HR Giger, Ron English, Ernst Fuchs, Robert Williams, Mark Ryden, Lori Earley, Paul Booth, Laurie Lipton, Michael Hussar, Chet Zar, Chris Mars, Liz Mcgrath and Alex Grey with the work of lesser known, though extraordinary artists.

Well those are a few of the sights that I can remember off hand. There is plenty of inspiration to be found among their pages so I hope you find something worthwhile there. If you happen to know of any other similar sites with psychedelic pictures or psychedelic images, let me know and I'll add them to the list. Cheers.
