Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of coconut water, welcome to another dimension-coasting, mind-contorting journey into the weird and wonderful world of the internet. Featuring some guest stars and some of the same old cast you know and love. I hope you will join me…
A bee-faced mushroom shaman from 9,000 years ago on a cave wall
In the Sahara Desert there is a mysterious cave called Tassili n’Ajjer that harbours drawings that are estimated to be between 9,000 years ago and 4,000 years ago. Some are estimated to be 12,000 years old.
One carving depicts a shaman with a human body and a bee-like insectoid face. He (or she) holds mushrooms while his whole body morphs and comes alive with energy and light. The theory goes that this rock art is the depiction of a psychedelic experience on mushrooms. Perhaps the shaman foresaw that he would be revered by thousands of people all over the world several millennia later?

Apparently this guy opens when he wants and closes when he wants. Work life balance, Japanese Zen style.

This intricate and exquisite coin that has a beating heart inside of it
This masterpiece is by the enigmatic Russian artist Roman Booteen.
Based in Russia, rising star Roman Booteen (spelled Butin) maintains a mysterious level of anonymity, while producing hobo nickel creations which regularly shock the coin collecting community with both their subject matter and complexity.
From his website
His carvings include pop culture figures, and he often plays with exaggerating and softening the facial features of his characters giving them a real sense of personality.

The natural landscape visuals make the whole experience even more enjoyable, but it’s great background music too.
The Cryptonaturalist’s poetry
Insightful and amazing poet and podcaster the Cryptonaturalist who I interviewed only last week on this blog, with yet another poetic mini-masterpiece on my Twitter feed. If you haven’t yet you should follow him @CryptoNature I guarantee you will love it.
I give up wanting to be whole.
To be strong.
To be beyond criticism.
Instead, I will be creative with my empathy.
I will not curse my flaws.
I will live in the light of honest vulnerability.
I will look at a statue and understand that emptiness is what coaxes art from bare stone.
