#NEWPAINTING: "Man Meets Mantis" 👽 dedicated to @twistedmystic, my high school friends @misterbs & Matt Griggs, @desertmoonmedicine, and the thousands of other people who have had a #closeencounter of the #mantid kind...myself included. 👽 I tell my #mantis #alien stories on an upcoming episode of Stuart Davis' #AliensAndArtists #podcast; he tells his in the first episode and his is a real doozy. Go give it a listen and then tune in for his follow-up appearance on my show, @futurefossilspodcast, due out this week! 👽 This #painting was the first to feature contributions from my 18-month-old daughter Ada, making it our first daddy-daughter #collaboration...another of many reasons why this one's so significant. That said, it IS for sale, so DM with offers if you're interested in an ever-presenr reminder that the world is (in the words of #JBSHaldane) far stranger than we can imagine! 👽 18"x24" acrylic and oil #paints on ⅛” premium artist's panel 👽 #availablepainting #availableart #xeno #mantisalien #glyphs #asemy #glossolalia #newart #translucent #iwanttobelieve #alienencounter #dmt #ayahuasca (at Downtown Santa Fe) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGLunJCAe2k/?igshid=kwz3pdpuoqba
