These are a couple of images that I have selected out of a series
called drug, where the artist has taken drugs and then drawn a self-portrait
while under the influence of them, the portrait on the top left was done on
bath salts, and the other was while on cocaine. These images are particularly interesting
to me because it shows the effect some of these drugs have on the mind and its
ability to function properly, with some of the other drugs making it so the
portrait is more just a scribble as if a child had done it, and others that
look quite disturbing, so as someone who’s never used any form of drug, this is
an interesting representation of the effects they can have and the kind of
things that go through the mind of some one that’s on them. It’s also
interesting and worth noting that jurying these “experiments” as he calls them,
he did give himself mild brain damage due to taking a different drug every day
over a couple of weeks.
