Note of removed artist... *Christopher J. Barnaby — Webpage (not removed by me) Unfortunately I didn't get to see the article before it was deleted, maybe the artist isn't notable enough for his own article entry, but seems notable enough for a link on this article. --Thoric 23:17, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] David Singer

The Wiki link for this artist actually goes to a Scientoloigist's of the same name. The hompage link is fine, though.

[edit] Dali

We should not confuse psychedelic artists with surrealists... Salvador Dali has nothing to do with the psychedelic movement. I am therefore removing him of the list.

Are you surethat Dali has nothing to do with the psychedelic movement? Nothing I suppose except for being extremely influential to psychedelic artists everywhere. Dali's work became re-invigorated (after a decade or more of self-repetition) in the late fifties with a style that is strongly psychedelic . . . Perhaps he got a bottle of Sandoz? If I recall correctly Dali claimed his inspiration was an "audience with the Pope", however that wry humorist ever spoke euphemistically. Davidnormal 11:06, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

I didn't notice that Dali was removed. He most certainly inspired other psychedelic artists, and use of psychedelic drugs is not a requirement for being a psychedelic artist. Dali is quoted in saying, "I don't do drugs. I am drugs." ... "Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic". --Thoric 16:07, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
