I felt a huge mental block before psychedelics and I had NO IDEA what life was or what my life meant. Until I had a psychedelic experience, I was welcomed home.
this is EXACTLY what I needed to hear. Im the type where I feel called to make art, I even did some schooling for graphic design, but then life seemed to get too much in the way and now I find its hard to fit in a good time slot for an art practice or have the space for it. Most times, it feels like a continued battle for my soul just trying to reassert and reclaim my creative self.
this channel is so sacred. thank you so much for existing on this platform. cosm is already changing the world. the messages are touching peoples hearts in a way thats hard to reach otherwise on media
Allyson has the best concrete creative advice! This is very very true...I gave myself away to a corporation for years, telling myself it was ok because it was to help pay for school, and found myself in the ICU hanging on to dear life; part of being a Creative person is learning how to manage your life so you have more time and focus on You and your Energy, and not always giving time and power away to other people and their projects and dreams. This decision, and maintaining it, can result in things that may seem harsh to certain friends or other close individuals who are used to having constant access to you, or can't understand how you prefer to utilize your time. And nice shout out on Sigils! The featured painting in this video seems like a shoal of many, coalescing all together/at once!
Great advice! I just started "The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity" by Julia Cameron, and she mentions very similar things. Only in week 1/12 at the moment, but it is all about healing creative trauma and finding your path to creative expression!
I'm a huge fan of Alex he is by far my #1 favorite artist im just getting introduced to his wife watching this video and she is so spot on with what she is saying it lifts my heart. I've been drawing since 3 yo and never stopped love creating art and are finally ready to make art my life. I've been working in construction for 20 years now since I was 18 because I needed a job and I got good at my trade and I just couldn't make the same money elsewhere. But my health has suffered tremendously because of my career path. Like she said I would feel like wasting a talent doing unstimulatimg work that lead to not depression but just being unhappy which lead to opioid addiction....being on methadone to get off other shit totally turned me into a non creative zombie just a nasty cycle. I got laid off in February 2020 was bummed out for few days than I realized how miserable I was doing my trade. Through therapeutic psycadelic secession including lsd and psilocybin I was able to finally break out of my deep sleep and are ready to start creating art to make a living. I have tons of work in my sketch book I'm gonna use to design shirts and hoodies hats ect. I also gonna start painting and hopefully make a coloring book for adults. This video was just so beneficial to view hope others will also see something inspiring in it and do what they love for a living and change their life and well-being for the better. Bless🙏
Sometimes time is just not enough, there are different realities... I feel most of my art isn't finished because I can't fully focus on it yet. When I paint it takes me more than a couple of hours, sometimes non-stop days and nights painting or inspiration is gone. But I have a projection and time will come🌠🖤🙏...Thanks for sharing your art and lessons, is all very inspiring
This video has inspired me to prioritize my art play time again! 💖 I just ordered some natural beeswax eco-crayons, and I'm excited to flow with them in parks as I travel around the states in my Nissan Cube! ☯️ 🌈🌎🌈
Men! Congratulations! this is gold. real help for all of us who need a little push to encourage us to do more. Thank you! I hope you continue to share this type of content, your art!
I'm a poet and a philosopher. Always have been and always will be, but it took me until the age of 30 before I realised how much denying that calling was making me ill. I thought I needed other people to validate my Art. And sure, it's nice when they do. But I wasted so much time waiting for something or someone outside myself to give me permission to Create. Now I just make shit up and see what makes me feel cool. When I feel cool, I know I'm too cool for school, and that's when the magic flows out of me. Nobody needs to see it and that's okay.
I started my art practice by doing mandalas back in the ’70s. There is something magical about starting with a Circle. It’s like an egg, anything can grow out of it. For those attracted to symbols and the mathematical, try googling Scared Geometry. I found that trying to do art that was representational (like faces or things) was scary at first. So I started with the abstract, the shapes, the colors, the lines… Oh, and Let these things choose You. Trying too hard can restrict the flow. Enjoy! :)
Yay this is so exciting, I keep wanting to start making more art but I've been so caught up in the digital world. Thanks for reinspiring me and giving some tips. Time and Space seems to be really important in everything we do.
I really struggle to find work, I have always had anxiety and I would love to make a career out of my art. My grandfather would sit down beside me as a child and would draw faces and show me perspective. I have my bed in the corner and I open the window and let the cool air flow in. My favourite times to draw are early in the morning or late at night, and I almost always listen to an interview or podcast, this morning I listened to Debbie Harry in an interview, the other day it was Terry Gilliam, so that’s my ritual. I just hope some day I can really do something with my art because being unemployed is such a drag I can’t explain, it’s just that I don’t think people really want to buy drawings so I am also learning to paint.
Thumbs up if you feel psychedelics has helped you reconnect to your life purpose of creating through art
;)

Yess! 🍄✨

Yep, fight harder and harder for that time, the older and more involved you get, the more difficult it gets to carve out that sacred space!
Creativity is a health factor! 🎨
I need an Allyson grey in my head, someone who can motivate me and tell me I can do anything I put my mind to goodness, she’s so wholesome.

i am so glad dear Allyson... i really understand what you mean
These podcast are great...thank you for these
I am a artist and always have been. I hear the same about no time from others. But I draw because I enjoy it and I'm on to something special.
Always great work.
Thank you for sharing positive important words. Allyson
This was awesome. Thank you so much!

Can someone tell me more about what a sigil is?
It’s a glyph. I’m looking for the meaning of Burrell or Morrell ? The reference before Sigil. Thanks
Ahh, finally, a video of Allyson on her own without that other long white haired dude, what’s his name???
