Artistic Visions – Lotus

About the Artist

My name is Jesse Lindsay. I am a freelance artist currently living in Portland, Oregon after hitchhiking around the U.S. for 6 years.

I refer to my work as “alchemical surrealism.” Most of my art is derived from dreams and studies into alchemical ritual, psychology, and various aspects of the occult. To me, everything is a way of expressing reality in different forms, creating methods that allow each of us to understand.

My work in the public sphere ranges from book illustrations to film projects to collaboration with musicians and galleries. I am working on a project of collected personal works, which I hope to release by the end of 2008.

Aside from art, most of my time is spent with my son Djinn and my daughter Arson. I also enjoy working on personal projects, such as drinking and constant collaboration with my wife and friends.

Artistic Visions is a regularly appearing column featuring original occult oriented art — whether it be traditional, multi-media, or graphic art. (Photography appears in Ocular Distortion.) If you’d like to submit art for publication in RTV, email your images to admin@rendingtheveil.com. We’d love the opportunity to showcase more talent.
