Artist, vagabond, psychonaut and cluster headache sufferer. Follow for regular new art!

Hello Steemit!

Please allow me to introduce myself: I am Eddy (aka Eddy with the art).

Originally from the Netherlands, I have lived (and worked) in over 14 countries before arriving at my current place in the US.

I speak 5 languages, and have worked in a huge range of industries ranging from tourism, taxi driving, sales and management to adult entertainment, tropical fish farming and dog training. I am currently a freelance graphic designer, and digital artist.

Cluster headaches have plagued my existence for the last 15 years or so, and it is through them that I was brought into contact with the world of psychedelics. Those, in turn, have had a huge impact on my character (in an absolutely positive sense), my drive, and my creativity.

I enjoy making things like this:

And this:

If there is enough interest, I might write some tutorials on how I achieve some of these effects. I also enjoy reading comments from those who have enjoyed my work, so please let me know what you think!
In any case, I will regularly be posting new (and some older) artworks, as well as some other creative projects I am working on.

I am very much a novice when it comes to the world of crypto, let alone Steemit - but I am learning more every day.

Cheers!

Eddy

Welcome onboard @eddy-ess !

I'm very happy to hear that psychedelics are helping you ^_^
I myself used to suffer from normal migraines, but as long as i ingest either mushrooms or lsd a few times a year minimum i seem to not get them at all anymore.

Lovely art btw!
keep the posts coming ;-)

Thank you for your kind words! I am glad you have found some relief too.

Oh, also thanks for resteeming my ableton post, I just saw this now on your profile ;-)
Are you a music producer as well?

Yes, I dabble some with Ableton :)

What kind of music styles do you play around with?

It's hard to define genre-wise, but I make weird psychedelic music. :)
How about you?

I make psychedelic trance music & psychedelic chillout :)
Here is one of my tracks:

AWESOME work, dude! (Are you a dude?)
Are you in Scandinavia? If so, I guess I won't be seeing you at FractalFest next week?

Here is my soundcloud:

VERY much not as good as your work though!

Hi Eddy, I like your artwork and it sounds like you've been on an interesting journey. In my younger years I dabbled in psychedelics and had some wonderful experiences that forever changed me. I now have two kids and so have looked for another way to access these amazing states of consciousness. I have found womb shamanism as a way to access incredible states and for me it has been even more healing and empowering than anything I've experienced with entheogens. I'm also a massage therapist and so I recommend doing some work with this to help with your headaches. I don't know much about cluster headaches in particular but I do know that black cohosh tincutre and lavender essential oil or tea are very helpful for me in dealing with an actually eliminating headaches from my life.
Blessings to you on your journey,
Safiyah

Thank you for your advice, I will look into those methods within my local contacts.
