Morphing of objects and/or themes and sometimes collage, inclusion of phosphenes and other entopic motifs, repetition of motifs. Please visit Wikipedia’s definition of Psychedelic Arts to understand/learn more / http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychedelic_art definition of psychedelic arts: (from Wikipedia) / Psychedelic art is art inspired by the psychedelic experience induced by drugs such as LSD, Mescaline, and Psilocybin. The word “psychedelic” (coined by British psychologist Humphrey Osmond) means “mind manifesting”. By that definition all artistic efforts to depict the inner world of the psyche may be considered “psychedelic”. However, in common parlance “Psychedelic Art” refers above all to the art movement of the 1960s counterculture. Psychedelic visual arts were a counterpart to psychedelic rock music. Concert posters, album covers, lightshows, murals, comic books, underground newspapers and more reflected not only the kaleidoscopically swirling patterns of LSD hallucinations, but also revolutionary political, social and spiritual sentiments inspired by insights derived from these psychedelic states of consciousness. PSYCHEDELIC INSPIRATIONS / The Art of Jeff Hopp / “I believe that true art is foremostly a form of communication. For me to be interested in a piece, it must tell me something. An artist can communicate many things…. ideas, emotions, events, beliefs, etc. As for my art, I am interested in illustrating events and experiences that I have witnessed on my spiritual journeys. It is a method of capturing moments that cannot be documented in any other way. / They are places that can’t be photographed, and I feel that is important to share them with others.” LINKS & RESOURCES PSYCHEDELIC ARTIST : JEFF HOPP RESOURCES : Psychedelic Arts @Squidoo PHOTOBLOG/IMAGES : Psychedelic Wallpapers & Posters

• Type and the Pattern Maker

  I’m pretty sure that Corey Barker over at Layers Magazine is the person who originally did this effect. So, what you are going to be doing, is using some type and the pattern maker inside of Photoshop to make a background. It’s a really cool effect, and remember that this isn’t necessarily limited to type – you could also use an image for another cool effect. To practise on, create a new file 800px X 600px @ 72 dpi and fill it with a colour. You can see in the image below that I used blue. Grab your type tool and type something, I also did a drop shadow and stroke on the text. Go ahead now and duplicate the text layer and turn off the original text layer. You should now have something similar to the image below. When you go into the Pattern Maker it is going to ask you to rasterize the type click OK, also, the text will be white and won’t stand out very well against the transparent b/ground. If you haven’t got white text, that is OK. If you have and you want to change it (you can change it back later) go ahead now and fill the text with another colour – I used the same blue as my b/ground. Once you’ve changed the colour of the text, click on Filter>Pattern Maker>Click OK when the small dialogue box appears – then you will be inside the pattern maker filter. Something to make sure you have correct before you proceed – on the upper right hand side of the …. very … large pattern maker dialogue box is a small button with Use Image Size on it – make sure that you click on that. It should be the same as your original image size – mine is 800 X 600, yours will be whatever you made it. You can see in the above image that I have made a selection around the text using the marquee tool, which is the first of the tools located at the top left hand side of the dialogue box. You’ll notice that the selection is just a little off centre – there is more free space to the top and left of the text – you can do this to the bottom and left etc., – but try not to select the text square on. Then you can go ahead and press Generate and you can keep pressing Generate Again until you come up with something you like. At the bottom right hand side of the dialogue you will notice that you can also scroll back and forward through the patterns you have generated and even save them as a preset pattern if you like. Once you find something that you like – click OK and see what happens :-) If you want to change the text back to white on the pattern you just generated – lock the transparency of the layer and fill it with white. Drag the layer that you generated the pattern on below the original text layer. I went ahead and changed the blend mode of the pattern layer to soft light and reduced the opacity to 20%, I also enlarged the original text a little bit. You can go ahead and mask out some of the new pattern by adding a layer mask and using the gradient tool – change blend modes to see what you come up with – only use the pattern on part of another image etc., Below is my finished image, but you can carry on trying out different filters on this to your hearts content :-) Also, using a single word might give a better effect.

  Hello there fellow Pattern Lovers! Natalie and I have been mulling over a fabulous idea to inspire all of those pattern aficionados out there. We are wanting to create a group “Patchwork Quilt” if you like, we are going to set a colour for every month and we want people to submit patterns using predominantly that colour which we can then put together into a virtual quilt. We would like to go even further with this and make each quilt represent a month of the year and put together a calendar at the end of the year. February and March are finished – they were Red and Black, but April is up and running with the colour Orange! So get your patterny inspiration up and creating for our quilts. February March Look forward to all the patterns being added to I ♥ Patterns. And remember to tag your work appropriately i.e. PATTERN_RED or PATTERN_ORANGE so I know which ones to use.

  This is the example as promised of what one of our patchworks could look like…. I whipped this up fairly quickly just to give an illustration of what we are talking about and there is of course no colour theme attached to this one, so please keep that in mind while viewing…. Still, looks rather fetching if you ask me!! If you want to know more of what I am talking about please check out the forums here Byee
