Bobby's tripper art

A grin in the void

To think all of this started with me borrowing 'Mick and Keith' from my local library. Anyhoo, while I wait for my Kenneth Anger box sets to arrive from Amazon (an estimated 6 weeks international shipping - yes that's right I'm a patient tight arse who never bows to expediated shipping), I've found the world of Bobby Beausoleil an interesting diversion. Yes, the guy committed a heinous and grizzly crime in the 60s under the "auspices" of mad Charlie Manson and without a doubt there are far more deserving people worthy of attention and recognition than he, but my, hasn't he created some wonderful tripper art while he's been serving time for the murder? It's like looking at one of those dated pseudo psychology textbooks, a la 'Altered perception: art of the schizophrenic mind'. If you're keen you can buy printed copies from his website.
