Lars Hertervik (1792 - 1871)
As so many artists; famous after his death, living in poverty most of his life without giving up his passion for painting and drawing. His magical nature and diffuse description of everyday life, his enormous skies and the clouds swimming by. Life is just another dream, by Lars Hertervik.

Why this blog title?
The title of this blog is taken from one of my favorite band's songs.
Dimension by Wolfmother
I fell down in the desert baby, yeah
I had nothing but a piece of paper, oh yeah,
I had to write something down,
And I found myself alone, then I let go of everything,
Into another dimension
Purple haze is in the sky,
See the angels wicked eye
all these things we must try
'Till we see the reasons why, oh yeah
Lightning crash on the hill tonight,(yeah)
I got a feeling everything is gonna be alright
Then a horse came running to me
Said we're gonna go to the sanctuary
Then a storm began to blow,
Into another dimension.
Purple haze is in the sky,
See the angels wicked eye
all these things we must try
'Till we see the reasons why, oh yeah
I got lost in the desert baby, yeah
I found temples made out of paper, oh yeah
I had to write something down
But then i found myself alone
Then i let go of everything
Into another dimension

Mural Insanity
MurAL inSanITy was a drawing I made Fall 2003.
Some of the inspiration is from Madame Blavatsky's book "Isis Unveiled" and also "The Great Pyramid Decoded" by Peter Lemesurier.
After dropping out on the regular God&Jesus Christianity when I was 13-14, I started to search for "The Truth" in all other weird places.
Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism and Shintoism occupied a lot of my "religious thoughts" in my teens. I sometimes felt that monoethism was to easy, too rigid, too bombastic in it's explanations.
While in New Orleans, me and my friend Simon found this old second-hand book store in the French Quarter. That was where I bought this book by Mr. Lemesurier, and also another book, "The Celestine Prophecy" (think it's becoming a film now), and other crazy "New-Age" litterature that was on my mind at that moment.
Luckily, for my own sake, my religious thoughts has eased down to a "Carpe Diem", and I prefer it to be like that for the rest of my living days. Even though there is a lot of inspiration in such a supernatural world, my heard definitively belongs to our natural world.
It's funny how your mind starts wandering while drawing.
