Psychedelic Dreams Photo Gallery by Serena Bowles at pbase.com

Psychedelic Dreams

It's amazing what you can do with a few hours free, a bottle of wine and a derranged mind...

The following all began life as regular photos, but I got a bit bored one night, and got somewhat carried away with some of the features on Photoshop.

This is not my normal sort of thing, so I'd be interested to know what you think of them.

This is all just a bit of silliness, and I shall probably cull alot of these sometime soon.

Some of my photos are now available to buy in a variety of sizes and finishes, or as digital files, at SerenityPhotography.co.uk.

I knew I shouldn't have taken that pill before looking at your gallery :-) Very creative work. V

enjoyed viewing the images...the pink thumb jpg has an effect lol.....the comments below are interesting.....chill out guys its art, like it or not its art.......I like!

Chet		10-Feb-2009 10:11
Very nice art though by the way i couldnt imagine trying to figure that out while drunk

Chet		10-Feb-2009 10:09
psychedelics and drunk dont mix because psychedelics open your third eye and allow you to be aware and in tune with it. drinking alchohol effectively CALCIFIES your third eye(over time), ruining it. get with the times, the earth is trying to make us evolve but were halting the process. its proven that some animals, lizards for instance, have third eyes which are developing past ours, having a cornea retina and a lens already. or you can take the man-made materialistic route of enhancing your mind by letting natural foods and fruit rot and then drink the byproduct

Truly beautiful - thanx for the groovy pix and keep up the good work!!

Guest		22-Jul-2005 03:26
WHOA! IM HAVING AN ACID FLASHBACK! THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES.

Dhruvesh		04-Jul-2004 09:03
I love them !!! you should post these at our club The Psychedelics Commun http://psychedelics.deviantart.com

Looks like a lot of fun. So very different from your other galleries, it's hard for me to imagine what the source images must have been like. Back in the 60's we had to do pretty complex and costly techniques with film to get anything like the abstractions PhotoShop makes so accessible. Thanks for sharing your experimental side in addition to your experiential side.

right on serena. i think they're cool. you're having a good time doing it too, well, lucky you girl yeah! and for all you negative people out there....whatever man.

Serena Bowles		06-Mar-2004 10:52
Oh well, each to their own, Dan. Glad you enjoyed - yours are awesome. Serena.

Dan Chusid		05-Mar-2004 00:33
These certainly are psychedelic Serena and far better than looking at all those ridiculous baby and pet shots that people keep posting. Talk about boring..... these creations at least are vibrant and colorful and fun whether you're drunk, stoned or straight! ; ) - DC

Serena Bowles		04-Mar-2004 06:27
Well with your imagination, I don't reckon you'd have to. I'm just playing here, but your creations are superb.

Aha, I can relate to those groovy psychedelic colors! Anyplace I can get some Orange Sunshine so I can come back here and trip out? justkidding. I don't do drugs, liquor, or even coffee. – Tom

Hey, geezer, chill out will you? Like I made a big point of saying when I posted these, I was only having a laugh and messing around - I'm not trying to make out I did anything special at all - of course people can get better results. I really don't know what you've got your knickers in a twist about, matey - you've got way too much anger going on! And who says psychedelic and drunk don't mix...what are you, the thought police? It's people like you that give Americans a bad name. Take a chill pill, dude!! What a freak!! To anyone else out there who has been offended by this, I don't think I'm big or clever over it - I don't even think I'm an "artist" as that highly strung Zoomer put it. I'm not looking for praise - if you like it, fine - if not, fine.

Zoomer		16-Sep-2003 14:22
Anyone can spin a few Photoshop filters and get results better than this. I suspect people are praising this work for the wrong reasons. BE HONEST, if you think it's crap, say it...otherwise the artist won't get better. JEEZ! Anyway, these are totally crap by the way, and "Psychedelic" + "Drunk" don't mix. I agree with previous poster, try LSD and while you're at it, put these pics in the trash where they belong!!

Guest		13-Sep-2003 00:35
nice photo work,real cool colours, and very nice effects, you should try the real thing, some LSD, if you havent try it yet. Keep flying JP

Kerro		12-Sep-2003 16:16
Horrible. Anyone who likes these has no taste or is drunk. Cull 'em all.

glenneroo		12-Sep-2003 12:23
lots of fun, woohoo!! next time please post higher res tho! hard to trip on such small pix.. ;)

tglass		09-Sep-2003 00:02
These are pretty cool! One of the shots reminds me of a girl I used to know, but I was a bit drunk at the time ;-)

Serena Bowles		07-Sep-2003 05:36
Thanks, they were lots of fun to do, in my drunken state!!

little_sis		05-Sep-2003 20:18
Hey these are great Serena - trippy man!

Serena Bowles		04-Sep-2003 03:43
Hey, thanks, glad you liked them - as I say, it was something totally different for me, but I did have fun making them.

Tim		28-Aug-2003 03:44
These pics are awesome. I like your other photos as well but these pics are way cool. Especially the Christmas Deathstars.

Serena Bowles		21-Aug-2003 04:18
It's amazing the variety of effects, isn't it? Not sure I could recreate any of them.

Mary Bowles		20-Aug-2003 12:47
Astounding stuff. Super effects and great titles. I am bowled over.
