What would be life without art? This would be most likely a fart. And without magic? Triple fart. Magic and art are different faces of the same concept. This is why we the Magic Mushrooms Shop team selects every month an artist and share his artwork. Because we are good people and we want to spread the magic. We work for the magic!

BUT sometimes things don't go like we want them to go. We wanted to end this October with a great interview with Randal Roberts, but artist are busy people. We tried to reach him but we failed.

BUT this is not a reason to not to share Randal Roberts art. We think that his paintings are awesome and because of that we are sharing them with you.

Randal Roberts cannot answer our magic questions but we think that his work can talk very well about the worker. So... HERE WE GO!

Randal Robert's Artwork

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I pledge to do my best work for the highest good, & to practice my art as a way of spiritually awakening myself and others.
I offer myself and my materials to divine influence.

To You, sweet darling; to the beautiful, absurd, creative flow and language of the universe; and to the global Love tribe:
Thank you.
I love you so.
For what it's worth,
I do my best for you.

These are the words with wich Randal Roberts introduce himself. Randal Roberts never went to art school. He's like a natural. In fact, he never though about "being an artist" until he was 30. He was working in a computer factory when a workshop with the great Alex Grey changed his mind. And his girlfriend left him. He was shocked by positive and negative forces. Since then he has been creating.

Randal Roberts describes his transformation like a call of the universe. We think he answered this call quite well.

LSD was another ingredient in this transformation process. His younger brother turned Randal Roberts to LSD and he started to have spiritual experiencies that he reflected on his artwork. DMT was an important source of inspiration too. Randal thinks that trough this substances we can connect better with the universe (we support this opinion!).

Do you know what? Randal Roberts has been congratulated by Matt Groening. Yes! The creator of The Simpsons. Why? Because he made this wonderful portrait of Homer Simpson, mentor and leader of this civilization. You can see the words that Groening wrote to Randal Roberts in his Facebook Page. He confess that he watchs The Simpsons religiously since the first episode. He also has painted another pop symbol: Guw Fawkes' face from 'V for Vendetta'.
