Watts Mugs
Description: Watts is a neighborhood in South Los Angeles's Eastside. It's still best known for the Watts Towers (built 1921-1954 ) and the Watts Riots (1965). Lots has changed in the intervening half century, needless to say, and I explored and mapped in 2014 for my series, "California Fool's Gold" https://ericbrightwell.com/2014/02/14/more-than-just-riots-and-towers/
Description: Description A powerful tribute to philosopher and mystic Alan Watts: This psychedelic illustration shows him seated in deep meditation, cross-legged on the ground, holding his signature pipe. From it rise swirling, colorful clouds — a visual expression of thought, spirit, and cosmic connection. These vibrant vapors symbolically bridge the mind and the universe, echoing his teachings on consciousness, identity, and the illusion of the separate self. Set in a rich, hand-drawn ethnospiritual style with mystical and psychedelic tones, this artwork invites every seeker, meditator, and dreamer to pause and reflect. Whether you're a student of Zen, a lover of Eastern philosophy, or simply admire Alan Watts’ poetic voice and mind-expanding lectures
