You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it’s evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don’t you know that you can count me out
Don’t you know it’s gonna be all right
All right, all right - The Beatles
The Revolution literalized.

A little history on why I’m making a book about mushrooms…I think they’re fucking cool. Psychedelic, edible, pretty and ugly, they are just about the coolest things on the planet for no rational reason.
There’s also a theory mushrooms are from space…I’m just sayin.
So, rather than accidentally killing someone with misinformation, I decided to make an ‘artist inspired’ mushroom book (for non identification purposes only). Always gotta have a little subscript, there will be no mushroom deaths on my watch.
Each mushroom is so different, I wanted to be able to express that (there are a hell of a lot of white and brown mushrooms) so I started experimenting with different textures and photos to give each mushroom it’s own identity. If it was possible, I fell in love with mushrooms even more after drawing them and am now making plans to go ‘hunting’ in Mendocino County. This book has also united me with a lot of other mushroom lovers, and in general, probably one of the most enjoyable things I’ve done for myself artistically.

I have so much fun using photos as colour, this entire mushroom is made from a salmon plate :) The mushroom texture is the actual salmon, the grass is a lime that was served with it, and the stems are crushed ice that the salmon was laying on top of. I haven’t posted this one on da other than on the poster, this ones special for you guys.
