Chris sits down in the cozy Santa Cruz studio of fellow visionary artist friend, Blake Foster! 

The two chat about San Francisco, CoSM, MAPS, street art, graffiti, Blake's medicine path and artistic journey, his schooling, the interdimensional inspiration behind his work and much more!

About the Artist:

Blake Foster has been developing his stylistic vision for the past two decades; emerging from roots in graffiti, completing a certificate program in visual FX for film with a focus in digital sculpting, and exploring the healing potential of entheogens, nature, and the all mighty paint brush.

Today he spends much of his time transforming canvas into a window of the mind’s eye. Blake’s artwork aspires to bridge the inner metaphysical realms with the outer natural world.  By juxtaposing micro and macro structures of the cosmos his work attempts to reveal the universal patterns and building blocks of our perceived reality. Drawing from dream-like states of consciousness and a limitless imagination, his brush strokes channel spiritual experiences with the divine.
