{"value"=>"<p>This series is comprised of art produced during the 1960s through the 1990s in a variety of media, including pen, pencil, marker, crayon, watercolor, collage, charcoal, and computer art. The series also includes reproductions. Much of the art was inscribed by the artists and often sent to Leary unsolicited as fan mail of sorts. Leary signed some art himself, in keeping with his habit of inscribing many of the things sent to him by friends, family, and fans. Though most of the artists are unidentified or not widely known, this series also includes the work of well-known figures like Howard Hallis, Keith Haring, Eileen Getty, and Brummbaer, all of whom Leary collaborated with. Some of the art speaks to Leary's relationships with the artists; for example, the series contains Howard Hallis's artwork from <span class=\"title\">Surfing the Conscious Nets</span>, a book for which Leary wrote the text. The art is primarily psychedelic or is otherwise abstract in nature, though there are portraits, anime art, and a variety of other styles. Several pieces of art, including art by Howard Hallis, Brummbaer, and Carolyn Ferris, feature Timothy Leary's likeness.</p>"}
