The Ungoogleable Michaelangelo is a multidimensional artist and creator of cosmic, comedic, and contemplative content. We discuss the mysteries of creativity and the disciplined use of psychoactive substances to expand one's understanding of the world.

Key Topics

• Why "unconscious printouts" – unexpected creations that arise while doing something else –  often end up being the artist's best work because the artist is not interfering with their own creativity
• Michaelangelo's trajectory as a multidimensional artist, from an early fascination with wildlife, nature, and photography, to pursuing music, film, podcasting, and poetry.
• An unconventional path that includes being a legal squatter in a haunted dentist’s practice, a stage magician, a tour guide in San Francisco, a street artist, a pawn shop worker in Florida, and an extra on an episode of Westworld.
• How Michaelangelo makes disciplined use of psychoactive substances to explore consciousness and the fringes of reality
• How the power of mirroring and finding self-portraits in other people can help us become more accurate reflections of ourselves
