I'm typically not a political person or get involved in politics but this year I felt really driven to create something political. I feel like with politics both candidates are basically the same coin just different sides.
American politics seems like a puppet show more and more with each election so with this piece I wanted to create a jester using red, white and blue to play off the "puppet" concept and embed aspects of digital surveillance and technologies that could be corrupted such as using artificial intelligence to police it's citizens which is where I feel like we are heading closer and closer towards.
I felt like this election like others was yet again another wake up call but many people failed to see the big picture forming. I feel we are in a game of chess and soon it will be checkmate. I see more regulations being passed day by day each regulation is slowly stripping away the liberty our country promises its citizens. The president don't make the calls, the president is just the puppet.
There is a quite a few other easter eggs in this piece. IYKYK - have fun finding them all!

Creating visionary art as early as 2007, Samuel Farrand evokes the psychedelic style of artists such as Alex Grey, Robert Venosa, Victor Moscoso, Luke Brown, and Xavi Panneton.
Samuel weaves electrifying neon colors, complex patterns, and intricate mandalas into his visionary art, narrating a story in each piece rich with meaning and symbolism.
Today, Sam has become one of the leading artists in the modern psychedelic art movement. He has showcased his visionary work at venues such as Threyda along side other digital artists such as Android Jones, Jake Amason, Steven McCorry (Glass Crane) & Justin Totemical as well as temporary art installations across Burning Man and psytrance music festivals across the globe. He has teamed with VJ greats such as Jonathan Singer who has projection mapped for the Grateful Dead Fare Thee Well Tour and appeared behind famous DJs such as Trip-Hop Legend Dave Tipper.
Samuel Farrand's visionary art extends beyond music festival culture. Notably, his work is featured at Meow Wolf in both the Las Vegas and Santa Fe locations.
One of his fondest career moment was having his visionary artwork grace the cover of best-selling author/plant shaman Chris Kilham's best-selling cult literature "Ayahuasca: A Test Pilot's Handbook," which was featured live on CNN—a pivotal moment in the history of plant medicine.
