This project was created in increments, beginning with the instructions to provide a close up of a plant that gave me joy. So out I went into the West Hollywood wildlife, and snapped a bunch of nature photos of succulents along the side of the road.

This artist is a member of a benevolent Reptilian tribe native to Mars, and is a shaman similar to a medicine man we'd find on Earth. His combined knowledge of both biology and alchemy allows him to understand the workings of corporeal mechanisms extending into both plant and animal realms.

The image is an abstract representation of the symbiosis between plant and animal, as there exist biological entities embodying characteristics of both plant life (photosynthesis, germination) and animal life (sentience, aspiration). This is the second piece of art channeled from this being, who has not provided a name since verbal language is not used among the tribe.

My hands are guided naturally, and there is much communication via image and concept to arrive at the finished piece. This one left me exhausted and exhilarated at the same time. Created in Rebelle 3 and finished in Photoshop.
