Artist on Acid Sees Surreal Scene Behind Easel
No, the artist wasn’t on acid. (Good click-bait title though, don’t ya think?) If anything, that would be the photo editor (that would be me) who would be on acid when I tweaked the landscape with Photoshop to make it all “swirly” while the artist’s easel stayed stone-cold sober.
A Bit of Backstory
Sterling Hoffman, a prolific plein air painter and my next-door neighbor at the time, makes a quick study of the flowering plum tree in my front yard on a glorious, late-February afternoon in 2017.
… and, to reiterate, nobody was on acid at the time. 🙂

Howdy, Ned – Hey, this is quite a magical rabbit-hole you have here. It’ll take me some time to wind my way through it, but I’m certainly looking forward to the time well spent. Many thanks to Robin for getting us all together, and PeaceTown was a real hoot on this particular Wednesday. Cool to get to know you. More soon ~ Cam
Hey there, Cam, yes hanging out at PeaceTown was fortuitous. I’d heard you were an illustrator and an artist, so unsurprisingly, you commented on this post: Artist on acid sees surreal scene.
Then I go to your website and am blown away by the imagery, exquisitely conceived and rendered. Dude, you are totally talented and totally twisted (in a good way, i.e. transcendently creative)
Hey, anyone reading this comment thread, seriously go to Cam’s website and browse around. Use this link as a wormhole to Cam’s own magical rabbit hole, deeper, darker and even more imaginative than mine:
