The Chambers Project

I met The Chambers Project early in the ‘A Better Trip’ Tour and was blown away by their gallery in Grass Valley, CA as well as the impact they have made on the region.  We have been collaborating ever since and are planning many future projects and events together (for those asking if I am working on putting together another festival). 
Check out all the amazing things they are doing in the psychedelic community including archiving psychedelic art history.

Freeborn Design

“Where do you get your suits?” is the most common question I get after the show thanks to the amazing work of Freeborn Design.  Already surprisingly affordable, the owner James has been kind enough to share offer code ‘TRIP’ for 15% off for my fans.

Hakan Hisim

You may have heard my tales of the purple lady I’ve encountered in the DMT space. Nearly a decade ago, I stumbled upon an exact representation of her and found Hakim’s work. His other work such as Universal Transmissions match the visuals in my personal DMT experiences closer than any artist I have ever come across.
