mind-tripping art

I've been a bad boy. Instead of putting up links relating to the shit storms our fearful leaders are bringing down on our heads, I was diverted by a visual delight. A visual delight that I hadn't looked at for some time and which I haven't really looked at that closely as it turns out. It's all Josh's fault over at Speckled Paint. See my post collage stories.

I still haven't found my copy of Fuzz Against Junk, but I dug out a book of collage art that I bought in 1971 — The Cosmic Bicycle by Sätty. I did a Google search on Sätty.

Wilfred Sätty

San Francisco visual artist of the 60's and 70's. Here are Interviews, research, clues, events, along the last ten years . . . Here's the story of what happened to me when I met Satty... Two years after he was already physically dead.

Wilfred Sätty - Exibition

There are some poorly scanned images in the above exibition. They just don't do justice to his work. So I did a quick scan of one of his images in The Cosmic Bicycle.

The original is 7 inches by 10 1/2 inches. A small image like this doesn't even begin to do the picture justice so I put up some pages with larger versions of the scan. Check them out at Dead Books. let me know what you think.

I still plan on putting up the links relating to the shit storms our fearful leaders are bringing down on our heads but, after spending most of the night playing with this image, I'm going to bed.
