Three scientific titans join forces to completely revise the classic text on the ritual uses of Psychoactive Plants. They provide a fascinating testimony of these "plants of the gods," tracing their uses throughout the world and their significance in shaping culture and history. In the traditions of every culture, plants have been highly valued for their nourishing, healing, and transformative properties.

The text is lavishly illustrated with 400 rare photographs of plants, people, ceremonies, and art related to the ritual use of the world's sacred psychoactive flora. World-renowned anthropologist and ethnopharmacologist Christian Ratsch provides the latest scientific updates to this classic work on psychoactive flora by two eminent researchers. • Numerous new and rare color photographs complement the completely revised and updated text. • Explores the uses of hallucinogenic plants in Shamanic & rituals throughout the world. • Cross-referenced by plant, illness, preparation, season of collection, and chemical constituents.

Axel Oswith has a collection of stunning—and, sometimes, a teensy bit disturbing—photographs that explore color, texture, and shape, including this inspiring image! It celebrates so many things that I love :: paper, deep green, and pale pink. Wouldn’t this make a fantastic color palette for a moder
A metal print is a captivating, contemporary way to display photographs; this print was made on a sheet of polyester-coated aluminum, allowing an image transfer via dye sublimation-- the process by which dyes turn to gas when heated, after which they transfer to the metal print and solidify. The end result is a visually clean, modern image with rich colors and a low-glare, white satin finish. Ready to hang.
The art of hand-coloring or tinting black and white photographs has been around, the Vox video above explains, since the earliest days of photography itself. “But these didn’t end up looking super realistic,” at least not next to their modern counterparts, created with computers.

Since the ancient Greeks, realism has been aspired by Western art lovers, but during the late 1960s and '70s the popularity of highly-realistic drawings reached its peak. Thus, Photorealism and Hyperrealism were born. These perspective drawing genres are still popular, and some artists master their technique so successfully that it becomes hard to tell an oil painting or a pencil drawing from a photograph. Bored Panda collected some of the best examples of this cool art and made a stunning list for you to enjoy.

When describing their sensibility, Arianna Lelli Mami and Chiara Di Pinto of the Milan-based Studiopepe invoke the versatility of classic white shirt: “You can wear it anytime, to go to the supermarket or to a soirée. The same is for design. Good design — whether a masterpiece or anonymous — goes with everything.” Their evocative aesthetic, though, is anything but simple. “Eclecticism and curiosity” are important starting points for them, and their output is rich with visual references, ranging from the harmony of classical forms to the glamour of Italian cinema in the ‘60s. But they don’t merely quote their source material, they transform it.
