Designed and painted by Alex Grey, The Mushroom Cafe sign portrays mushroom headed figures modeled from ten thousand years old cave art found in Tasilli, Algeria, evidence of Visionary Art from an ancient psychedelic mushroom culture.
Alex Grey, world-renowned artist, poet, and author, is best loved for his paintings which portray multiple dimensions of reality, interweaving biological anatomy with psychic and spiritual energies. His books, Sacred Mirrors, The Mission of Art, Transfigurations, and Art Psalms, trace the development of his work and mystical experiences that shaped his spiritual artistic life. Alex's most recent monograph, Net of Being, addresses how his art is evolving the cultural body through icons of interconnectedness.
