The image of it, at least. It's of a Mexican man on a magic carpet, flying over a desert while playing guitar. It was rumored cover art for the Mars Volta record "Amputechture", though that didn't come to pass. I've had that image in my head because I'm trying to use some guided imagery meditations to help myself fall asleep, and as a result I've been writing some music in my head around the image. I've been looking for it online but just can't seem to find it. I remember exactly what it looks like, but I wanted to find the picture and blow it up or something. Maybe Raskovnik can help me, as a fellow Mars Volta fan. I figure it's worth a shot to ask on here, I tried Votla's messaage board but that thing is dead since they broke up. |

And now I have learned what a "Mexican Magic Carpet" is because of this thread.

? Oh man...I'm not positive that's it, but I may be I'm remembering it wrong. I thought it was a carpet he was on and I thought I remembrered cacti. It's so close that I think it's more likely I remembered it wrong than it not being it. Either way, awesome. Where did you find that? |

I knew Jeff Jordan did the art for them around that time, and as well as for Octahedron I believe, so I just looked through his paintings as that sounded vaguely familiar and came across that one. |

I knew Jeff Jordan did the art for them around that time, and as well as for Octahedron I believe, so I just looked through his paintings as that sounded vaguely familiar and came across that one. I couldn't remember if it was a Jeff Jordan or not. The way I remembered it was less surreal than his usual work, so I thought it may not have been him. But the scale of the painting, especially the size of the man, and the color of the background (the man loves him some orange), is exactly what I had in my head. I was trying to look through archives of their message board the other night because I remember seeing it on there long ago, but it was a lost cause. I'm gonna say this is what I was looking for. Sometimes I'm so sure of memories but they turn out to be slightly different than I remembered. Like Clarissa Explains it All, I just knew her friend's name was Sean. But it was Sam, and the actor who played him was named Sean. And now, I question everything. |
