I saw Alex Grey's artwork on all the Tool cd's ever since I was a kid. I always loved the art (and the music) and thought it was really inspiring. When I started looking up more of his work, I liked it even more than the stuff Tool used for cd's and band shirts. His paintings are massive! Overwhelmingly spiritual, and cultural explorations of what it feels like to be a human.

      I always loved this one. Probably the first piece that I fell in love with.
 The pieces hes made about birth and the connection between a mother and child inspire me a lot. I like how he paints people as if nudity isn't nudity, but just what we are. He takes nudes a step further, and sheds our skin. Are his subjects, black, white, old, young?

I encourage anyone who likes his stuff, to check out his website
