lumpenprol Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I did that in high school. Wish I still had the drawings. edit: not every drug, obviously. acid, shrooms, pot, nitrous, speed...I think that was it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Mughnus Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I don't think I believe the premise at all. The drawings seem too intentionally representational of the misconceptions of how these drugs work/the effects of the drug. For example, 1 bump of crystal meth wouldn't make that substantial of a difference in the drawing abilities of this guy to make him make that illustration versus the other pictures.... Another example is the nicotine gum. No way in hell would that affect a persons interpretation of their self enough to make that picture... Still neat though. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cryptowen Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Some of them are pretty cool, though I'm guessing in a lot of cases it was more "wow I'm kinda high & want to make crazy abstract art", as opposed to "I'm really stoned & trying to draw a realistic self portrait". Also dude wears a My Little Pony shirt so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still neat though. =) he's been drawing a self portrait every day for the past 16 years, and will continue to for the rest of his life. Also, he wasn't/isn't a "partier", so for the most part I do think the portraits are honest I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sneaksta303 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Most of those are very forced, like the marijuano drawings. if you're talking about the G13 one, I WOULD agree, as it looks tacky, BUT, I recently had some of that particular strain, and indeed does feel like a comforting pressure right in that spot.

It is entirely possible that it is legitimate. wow every day for 16 years huh? That is strange. I wonder what the effects are of this on a persons psyche.. the constant reflection on ones self, I mean. crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneaksta303 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I think that's more of an effect than a cause. He's had a crazy life, been in prison, mental hospital, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptowen Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I've at times thought about doing a daily self-portrait for an extended period. Constant recreation of a mundane subject is a great way to slowly drift into abstraction, & your own face seems like a really obvious choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
