Nate McClennan
My name is Illuminate and I am an illustrator and lenticular artist. I care deeply for the environment and for all sentient beings. My artistic goal is to produce work that captures the humor of our outlandish society and the ultimate mystery of existence. The intent is to elicit inquiry, train discernment, and empower one's consciousness to rise above the shallowness of our contemporary culture.Images are not arbitrary glyphs but, rather, portals into another dimension of reality. The power to transform and catalyze perception lies in a combination of the artist's intentions and the viewer's reception. Each piece contains stories and symbolism about my philosophy and sense of the divine. Some images appear chaotic and some funny, but at the heart of it all is my attempt to guide the viewer through realms of symbolic language towards the transcendent understanding of our world/self relation. My belief is that we are all divine characters in the storybook of life, and above all else, we are one soul. The liberating truth is non-duality. All is connected and shaped by the same ultimate source.

Grimshaw offered him a job, and Lundgren went on to create poster art for seminal bands such as The Who, Jefferson Airplane and Pink Floyd.
In 1974 Lundgren moved to New York City and turned to science fiction and fantasy illustration for a living, painting nearly 300 book covers. During this time, Lundgren became a co-founder of the Association of Science Fiction and Fantasy Artists (ASFA) and was nominated for a Hugo Award for his illustration work.
Lundgren quit working for the publishing industry in 1987, choosing to instead to focus on fine art. In 1993 he wrote and published an autobiography called Carl Lundgren, Great Artist and in 2015 Hermes Press published a book by Lundgren on his posters titled The Psychedelic Rock Art of Carl Lundgren.
