Below is a list of resources that came up during the conversation:

Psychedelicatessen: A Powerful Dose of Art by Steve Marcus and take a long, strange trip into NYC artist’s cartoon universe of kosher folk art with a new pop art series inspired by a fusion of the psychedelic hippie culture of the 1960s and Jewish culture. Marcus’ hand drawn works on paper and handmade objects are colorful, comical flashbacks that take the viewer on a magic bus tour down an irreverent and mystical road. This new project seamlessly marries his Jewish spirituality with his past involvement in the counterculture and the cannabis reform movement, putting a modern spin on Jewish subjects and life that form alternative culture classics for new generations.
