"Lotus" is based on a dream I had: After a lot of really strange happenings, a skinny figure pulled a seed-like object out of his forehead—it looked like a glowing shard of amber—and planted it in the sand under him. Everything was blue-toned and cracking; a tree started to emerge, and it opened up into very large hands and a humanoid figure in the center, which began to attract dirt and make small platforms from which waterfalls emerged, and eventually it made a huge landscape. It's a huge pencil drawing with colors overlaid with Photoshop.

"Lotus" is from the gallery "Laws and Limitations," which is an exploration of many of my studies and dreams, as well as a way to express many of my theories and ideas on the matters of life, physical existence, and my own personal development. Many of the symbols in my work are a collection of Sanskrit, Hebrew, alchemical, and intuitive figures, as well as mathematical and biological structures and formulas. It's an ongoing body of work, which I hope to add to on a very regular basis as I progress skill-wise.

Jesse Lindsay is a traveling freelance artist, currently living in Dallas, OR, after hitchhiking around the States for about six years, stopping in various cities and selling art to tattoo shops, galleries, and anywhere else that worked at the time. Much of his work in the public sphere ranges from book illustrations and film projects, to collaborations with various musicians and galleries around the world, as well as a collected personal-works project to be released soon.

"I refer to my current work as a type of 'alchemical surrealism', for lack of a better term. Most of my work is derived from dreams and studies into alchemical ritual, human psychology, mathematics, biology, and various areas and aspects of the occult. To me everything is a method of expressing reality, in one way or another, in terms that we can understand, in the forms of energy and matter we take for granted in everyday life."
