Drugs and Art

posted: 9 months ago

OK SO this is not the first time an artist has taken drugs, and then done a self-portrait. But perhaps it's the first time it's so conveniently placed on one single website.

Hilariously (or not), Class A and prescription (and other) drugs co-mingle to create a panorama of (guy-like) visuals.

Here's what Washington, DC artist Bryan Lewis Saunders says about his project, which you can see on his site:

"After experiencing drastic changes in my environment, I looked for other experiences that might profoundly affect my perception of the self. So I devised another experiment where everyday I took a different drug and drew myself under the influence. Within weeks I became lethargic and suffered mild brain damage. I am still conducting this experiment but over greater lapses of time. I only take drugs that are given to me."

Now all we need is for someone to tell us what to make of it all. Because, you know, we have no idea.

Five of the Best

Things we love, things we want, things we want to do, and things we think are just cool, interesting, or at least noteworthy.

  1. Here's a good rule to live by: If you have to ask yourself if something is OK to do, it's probably not.
  2. Classical sculptures with clothes on. They're hip and they're way cooler than us.
  3. All hail, Stevie Nicks! If you like her, you'll want to read this. (And come on, who doesn't like her?)
  4. Take a trip down memory lane, checking out the Withnail & I: The End photography exhibition from Proud Camden, which begins late June.
  5. We can't warm up to the idea that the International Herald Tribune will be renamed the International New York Times this autumn.
