Nearly 200 pages, a hybrid of sorts, combining my artwork over the last 2 decades with chronicles of adventures along the path as well.
It has been a long time coming. I started discussing this book with Dale & Laura Pendell around 2010-2011 and started assembly 7 years ago. I gave up on it a few times, changed direction and when I finished up on the design… I revised, again and again.
Illustrations done for the Invisible College (a review I have been publishing for 15 years or more. It was started on the recommendation of the late great artist Robert Venosa & his wonderful partner Martina Hoffmann). There are sections as well for my visionary work, and for Radio EarthRites, another project spanning 19 years.
The writing covers various adventures from the mid 60’s to the present. Some of the entries are entheogenically fueled, others not so much.
This book is the first in a series of three that I have been contemplating producing. The second one is now in the works.
I will let everyone know when this edition is finally published, and available!
Thanks for the kind support!

Reviews:
It has always been my contention that there are two things that define the human: art and magic. In Gwyllm Llwydd’s retrospective publication of works, Alcove of Dreams, we are deeply immersed in both. Andalusian-Art Nouveau-Symbolist dreamscapes combine classical and unconventional elements to capture introspective visions. My advice to the reader? Savor each vision slowly and at length. Pay attention to the details and let yourself drift into the dream. Alcove of Dreams, Llwydd’s fascinating memoir of art and psychedelics, deserves a favored place on your bookshelf.

Gwyllm Llwyd’s ‘Alcove of Dream’s is a stunning display of the artist’s, stunning digital collage, peppered with esoteric symbolism, that have served as covers for editions of ‘The Invisible College Review’ and other psychedelic related publications. Llwyd’s work brings new vision to the poster and record album art of the 60s-70s, with its surreal blend of antiquated steel engravings, psychedelic colours against a background of titillating tessellation. Llwyd’s work is graphic proof that Art is a Drug.

“Reading Gwyllm’s Alcove of Dreams, I’m naturally struck by the parallels between my personal journey and the familiar influences present in the book. I’m certain that many inner explorers will find a sincere connection reflected in these pages. His life journey, both grounded and fantastic, is revealed as a tale of poetic discoveries, entheogenic adventures in the far reaches of the psyche and inspirational encounters both real and beyond.
I’m a fan of Gwyllm’s collage work, so it’s a pleasure to discover images I haven’t seen before. I love his love of the ornate, psychedelic beauty and surreal juxtapositions. His creations speak the dream language saturated with the sense of nostalgia for the great Mystery. At last, Alcove of Dreams attests to a life of love, profound curiosity and creative inspiration.”
