Artist Creates Self-Portraits on Different Drugs

Nah, seriously. I'm reminded of the artist Louis Wain and the pictures of cats he made as his schizophrenia got worse.

Well, ya know, it's artistic-n-shit.

I haven't worked narcotics in two decades, but i admit that I'd have to get out the pharmacopia to even know what some of those drugs are used for.

There must be an end to this intimidation by those who come to this great country, but reject its culture.

Or an experiment in how your self-perception gets skewed when you're on the various drugs. Kinda like putting different color filters up to your eye and looking at a landscape thru them.

If it was art for art's sake, this wouldn't interest me.

Some of those drugs wouldn't cause any "high" to occur. Unless the dude took retarded amounts of them.

Hell, Cephalexin is an antibiotic.

ETA: I'm not implying antibiotics don't have side effects. Just that there is no market out there of people looking to score some Keflex for a good time.

Hmm. I wonder what the incidence of hallucinations is. Some websites don't even list it as a side effect.

On the other hand, the guy probably had additive or synergistic effects from all the shit he took previously. And I had to google Butane Honey Oil. WTF? The lengths some people will go to in order to alter their consciousness is amazing. :?

I didn't even bother to look that one up, I figured it would most likely fit in the 'I didn't want to know' category.

Yes about that last bit. Makes me wonder, what is so desperately wrong with their minds that those people are so eager to wreck and alter them.

When the their car breaks down, people react differently. Some can fix it independently, some have a friend help, some take it to the mechanic. Others take a sledgehammer to it.
