Drugs are good., by randomname on Feb 25, 2014 7:08:24 GMT 1, Artist Creates Self-Portraits On Different Drugs
In what could be considered the craziest/most creative drug experiment ever, artist Bryan Lewis Saunders pushed himself to the limit when he decided to take a different drug every day for a few weeks.
Not only was he not sober, but he also drew a self-portrait of himself while under the influence of these drugs each day. Now of course, we wouldnโt ever suggest trying this at home, and weโre quite frankly not sure how this guy was even able to survive this.
After all, thereโs no doubt that this takes a toll on your body. From nicotine gum, to cocaine, to Zoloft, to PCP, Saunders did it all.
A few random samples. Many more at the link...
Nicotine gum
Klonopin
Hydrocodone/Oxycodone/Xanax
Abilify/ Xanax/Ativan
Adderall
Butalbitals
Crystal Meth
Morphine IV

Drugs are good., by randomname on Feb 25, 2014 7:19:37 GMT 1, I googled him and I don't think the article got the story quite right. Apparently, he's been doing a self portrait every day since 1995. He's at over 8,000 self portraits. It looks like he drew these on days he happened to be on drugs. I don't think he did a different drug a day every day for a month.

how is this any less contrived? unconsciously or not it just looks like they simply drew what was expected of them Couple of people goofing off, taking acid and doing this...versus an artist project. Both are boring, one note jokes, although having taking acid in the past not sure if one can draw to expectations. |
