For the cover art of this issue, we chose “Magical Mystery” which celebrates plant medicine, the cosmic nature of life, and a real-world moment that artist, Chris Huang, experienced one Spring while hiking in the foothills of North Boulder, CO. “It was a day when I was really high up and so I was above the rain. And then the sun came out and it started reflecting these rainbows all over. Not just above, but also below me and around me. It was such a beautiful phenomenon. I’ve never really seen anything like it.” In this drawing, one can find seven rainbows dancing around the subject, a feminine figure who seems to be holding a bit of nature in each hand. The myriad of natural elements swelling around her serve to expand our horizons on what our universe might have to offer. Chris’s depictions pull us away from the everyday grind and immerse our thirsty souls into the waters of possibility. The possibility for connectedness, the possibility for more. This is exactly what art is meant to do. It is not just a promise to his patrons, but also for the soul of the maker...
