This research spotlights on the relationship between comic books and visionary art. Over Visionary Art it's used the concept created by the artist Laurence Caruana in The First Manifesto of Visionary Art (2001), which defines all this type of artwork that intends to portray visions obtained by outstretched states of consciousness. In Brazil, although little known in the country, there are renowned international comic authors who are pointedly visionary, as is the case of Sergio Macedo and Alain Voss. The proposal, then, is to investigate the creative processes involved in doing such singular works and the relationship between visions / comics / everyday life and how Non-Ordinary States of Consciousness (NOSC) may or may not intervene with the artist's persona. I look into the works of Moebius, Jim Woodring, Rick Veitch, Sergio Macedo and Xalberto, as well as my own production prior to the research. Bibliographies related to creative processes, anthropology (shamanism), psychology (NOSC), are used as reference to demarcate the theoretical ground which I go through. the investigation takes place in the line of research of Visual Poetics and Creation Processes, thus, it also extends to the artistic practice, that is, to make comics. In my case, to create stories that are in the scope of visionary art, using as methods to induce NOSC the ritualistic ayahuasca tea, lucid dreams and the technique called Holotropic Breathwork - developed by the Czech psychiatrist Stanislav Grof. The methodological approach is art-based research combined with selfethnography. As a poetic result, 16 comic stories were developed, eight of them derived from ayahuasca and three from lucid dreams, one from common dream and one from hypnagogic dream, in addition to three stories derived from Holotropic Breathwork. The creative process of each of them is discussed, seeking to draw parallels between the seen, felt and portrayed, with the cognitive processes of psychological states typical of NOSC. In the end, all the stories were put together in a comic book album called Cartographies of the Unconscious.
