Art

Visual work under the name @mindovermaffer. Acrylic painting, pen and ink, photography, and more.

The same impulse that drives the music — bridging the natural and the synthetic, the analog and the digital — shows up here visually. “Trippy” as a quality of experience rather than a genre. Work that unsettles the familiar and makes something new from it.
