[Art] Art Magic and Spells

[milkyway]

Does anyone else do spells through art and if yes can you share?

I've been getting into it recently and what I do is, being a digital artist, I draw on the computer. I like to start with a layer where i just write some text with my intention and then i make another layer and paint over it. Then i erase the whole thing. I see this as burning a sigil.

I like to use heavypaint for this. It's just personal preference because of all the trippy effects.

I've done art magic before with traditional means like acrylics and held up those paintings on my wall or specific places to charge them but I like to be more subtle these days with my craft. So digital works for me. Though I've only gotten into digital recently and never did a lot art magic in general.

Another thing I could do is draw a sigil and then paint over it, or include it somewhere in the drawing and post it publicly and have it be charged that way, but I haven't tried that yet.

I'd like to know if others also practice this type of magic, if yes how, results you've had, and advice?
Does doing it digitally as opposed to traditionally affect the outcome? Let me know your thoughts

The old collective subconscious routine, eh? It works. Personally I prefer art to magic. I'm too angry. "It hurts the spell."

Everything I do creatively is magical to an extent, thinking in terms of hypersigils etc., I make primarily cartoons and comics and its a mutual thing of producing work which "wants to be heard" and also wanting people to tap into kind of the unconscious elements thru the work...got into such a logic through researching the history of counter culture and pop occulture...Psychic TV, Tape Delay: Confessions of the 80s Underground, the works of Jeffrey Kripal, Clive Barker. A book that rlly changed the way I engage with audience and art is "Secret Don't Tell: An Encyclopedia of Hypnosis" in terms of thinking of any successful artwork as entering one into a perceptive, "lowered", altered state

I'm not sure it's exactly "magic" but I created what I call Hermetic (more properly Qabalistic) heraldry using gematria to transliterate my given name into Hebrew letters, and then creating works of art related to those letters with public-domain clip-art, colored pencils and chalk pastels that I turned into collage. I can't link my blog posts here but if you google "What's In a Name?" you might find it.
