Artist Takes 20 Different Drugs And Creates 20 Illustrations To Show Drug Effects
1.1Mviews
Graphic designer Brian Pollett, aka Pixel-Pusha, pushed himself to the limit by doing a new type of drug every day for twenty days and making cool drawings. “My early explorations with psychedelics and electronic music parties have inspired the Binge project,” Pollet told Bored Panda. “At this point in my life, I desire to express my drawing ideas on what I’ve learned from psychedelics, the creative process, and electronic music.” We’ve covered artists like him, who create under the influence, before here.
“Imagine the past, future, and linear time is gone,” Pollett explained to A+. “You can just focus on your existence in the present. The idea of tomorrow is laughable. The drug effects enable me to create art without concern of outsider judgment, without over analyzing my process, and intuitively enjoy creating the most honest work.”
Bored Panda does not endorse illegal drug use. Refer to your local laws before indulging in something potentially illegal.

Any artist who tried to do graphics being drunk will probably agree with me that it's probably mainly fake. It's way to perfect. There are very advanced techniques used here and there is no way a person after drugs would make it look so neat. Check Witkacy to see what I mean. And no digital medium is an excuse, I know what I'm saying.
He would have created the art after the effects wore off, while trying to create an image that reflects the experience. For example, DMT is VERY powerful and you can't really see anything around you, or move for that matter, and Ketamine makes you very sluggish and lazy.
I ve seen someone under ketamine has redrawn a portrait of an old man just from scribbles...
As a digital artist, I disagree. Yes, advanced techniques and software were used. However, when I work with programs day after day, after day, I get to know what I'm doing! Specific techniques become a part of my artistic style and I know them well. I've created some impressive work when I'm drunk/high. It may take me longer to create, or it can motivate me immensely. I'm a recovering drunk/addict and have been an artist for over 40 years. I've created art in many altered states. Perfection is not a word in my vocabulary.
Also associations are not effects. These are associations and this type of "project" or "collection" or whatever has been very popular lately. Someone's just riding the wave and more than the wave of chemicals too.
Never been high on any chimical substances, but I kinda had a thought simmilar to yours. I know that I must have a clear view to draw the picture the way I want it to look like. But then, again, since I've got no experience with these things, I can't know whether these affect your vision, but if that's how you see the world while on drugs, then probably you'll see your canvas that way too. That's my logic. I guess each drug influences your senses differently too. And speaking of it, I've heard (and it seems alike from the documentaries) that people are "brighter" while on synthetic drugs than while under the effects of alcohol. Well, it's complicated, I'd appreciate an explanation by someone who actually knows chemistry/medical sciences, or whichever field this belongs to. Or somebody with experience, eventually, although I don't approve drug use (but since people actually do it, it would be informative to share your experiences).
I've tried a number of these and for the most of them, your motor skills aren't affected (except DMT (he DEFINETELY didn't do this while on DMT, DMT practically paralyses you for 20 minutes) and Ketamine (which makes you very sluggish and tired)). For things like MDMA, LSD or Cocaine, your creative and cognitive abilities are enhanced in ways you can't really understand without trying them.
Sally Brite, I know. Maybe I should have written "chemical substances" or "forbidden medicine". But I thought the expression was clear enough as it was...

"Never been high on any chimical substances" you are high every second of your life. Neurotransmitters and hormones are chemicals too.
I agree with ChrisWalker. Also, keep in mind that your experience != the experience of "any artist". I'm an artist and I occasionally sketch or paint while drunk - and routinely create art (including welded sculpture) after smoking weed. I enjoy the freeing, uninhibited flow that it gives my work. You "know" what you're saying, but you're drawing on your own experience. We are not all you. Some drugs are completely debilitating. Some are ability enhancing.
Following your idea.I am a shoes designer .He must use digital medium to make it!!!
you were there?
and the pictures have all the same style that is impossible with those dopes they have very different effects on the brain the eyes and the hands
I consider myself an artist. Thanks to this article now I want to start trying all these drugs and paint and color under their influence.
Do u know the spell of art ? Drunk and drugged is not the issue U can't take perfection is !
I'm thinking too. It isn't possible.. Actually there isn't any beauty with drugs... Must be some illusions made him to do something like that.
You are probably a nice guy. But judging by your office worker attire worn in your profile picture, you're probably a bit straight edged.
If you think that, it means you didn't do enough drugs. ;)
Some people here are so literally minded! Where does he say that he made this illustration during the high itself? He's just trying to express his impression of how it affected him. These comments about "that's not possible" are so tedious. And so is the comments about how wrong or illegal it is. Don't like drugs? Then don't take them! Let everybody else do as they please.
Yeah, you're right. I thought of that possibility too, though I forgot to mention it in a previous reply to seomeone else. These might as well be drawn from memory, while sober.
NO it is just imagination
"Don't like drugs? Then don't take them! Let everybody else do as they please." Uh, no. Do not let everyone else do what they please when we are talking about breaking the law. Sorry, but I would prefer to have my family intact and not killed by a driver under the influence of drugs. Or harmed by someone "doing what they please" to my kids. Argue that it is an experiment, argue that the comments are not the place for this, but don't argue that people should just let others do whatever they want.
Absolutely correct! Why is it that do many Dick Heads take it upon themselves to criticize just for the sake of it? Drugged or not, the person is only expressing his feelings . That's his right and that's it full stop.
you don't understand, he tells he worked under dope and from what I experienced personnally and saw friens'works, it is a lie. Why does he lie ?
Took the words right out of my mouth haha. As someone who has done some of these I can understand what the artist is trying to convey. You remember how a drug made you feel for a long time after doing it. Years even!
Well, let´s forbid alcohol because people get intoxicated or addicted (even though its legal).

I'm a professionnal painter.

This is the post I saw floating around Facebook, and in this article it does state that he created the pieces while under the influence of drugs - http://aplus.com/a/brian-pollett-20-day-binge-drugs-illustrations . To that I say , whether you feel it is tedious or not, no way. I am an artist and I have to say that the incredible detail and and precision of these works could not be done under the influence of any drugs. Maybe some interesting impressionistic work but with depth perception, coordination, focus, etc effected this is not possible.
above all he took drugs that h&ave very different effects on the brain and his work has a unity a regularity , which would be impossible under all those frugs . I like the oictures but I hate the lies,I think it is stupid . I thinkeventhat thepictures aremadewith very clear mind and logical, almost mathematical ideas

How liberal of you. But you seem to forget that some people still have to treat those "free spirits" that overdose themselves on substances, or get ill because of use in general.
I guess you shouldn't drive because got forbid you get into an accident and someone has to treat you.

Shut up , this is clearly a fake article lika all click-bait sites !
Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz - did this about 100 years ago :)https://upload.wikim...Art_Project.jpg
looks like he drew his impressions of the feeling after the drug effect was worn off.
All art is subjective. However, of the 11 substances mentioned here with which I have experience, I can't see how these types of feelings could possibly have been engendered by the drug. Much of this presentation was dictated by the graphic artist/ designer background of the artist and not by the way the drug made him feel. None of these images exhibit any disjointedness that is many times caused by the disruption of neural pathways. But then each drug (as well as each time any gien drug is experienced) is subjective as well.
Thank you for doing ether, this is the only accurate representation i've found of that soul destroying drug that killed me at one point
These are rough sketches done during intoxication that were later completed when sober.
Does this guy think that love is better then cocaine. Yah as if
I have no idea about the drugs (except that I thought Mescaline was posh cheese) but the graphics are outstanding. I guess we'd need to see the artist's work after being drug free for a while.
Ahh one looks like it has the Ziggy Stardust lightning bolt!!
very good ideas i'm not sure on all the drugs, as i haven't done them all but thinking back to when i did do certain ones a few of the ideas are very fitting
This work is beautiful
illegal is a title created by humans, like the law, like books that sprung religions... you are all addicted to water , air, salts and glucose ... pointing out substances as evil or illegal is just like pork to jews... once , before refrigeration , pork was so dangerous that, hebrew law made it forbidden ... a logic response to what time and place this had sense... all permission slips...
Does that mean that Jews and Muslims can eat pork now that they can buy fridges?
And on Crystal Meth:http://i.imgur.com/8yGQdfw.jpg
Epic!
definitely fake, and useless to use the same source images/portraits/bills playing all with stereotype psychedelic effects when most of these drugs are not that visually directed but by meanings. On half on this, you would have quickly taken another direction just by resistance to the other cliche, and I know what I am talking about, as an artist & a common drug user without being a junkie. It's just what we call "a bored boring guy trying to make the buzz on the internet"
Let's hope, if he was high, that he's getting help now. Stunning artwork but sad under the circumstances.
Is this suggesting that to the artist, Ketamine feels similar to Love? Since the faces are the same and only the colours change.
Beautiful work... I applaud you for the experiment, Brian!
I recon this titels made up by the writer. The artist has more than likely just created art that symbolises each drug . No way would you be able to do this shit while on this stuff.
I think he did these after it wore off as a way to express the trip....
I want to get these printed off onto massive canvases and put them up around my house. They are BRILLIANTLY BEAUTIFUL!
troll
it was cool until the last one - "love." how gauche.
Absolutely incredible. GHB and mescaline look pretty amazing.
I still remember high school, when I was prescribed Accutane for hidradenitis supprativa. The biggest side effect of that was elevated sensations of general depression and social anxiety. Any and all suggestions for improvement felt like condemnation and threats, even if they weren't. The world was always dark and foggy, and I remember the proneness toward social withdrawal. Picture the default image as a collage of blues and grays and ugly greens, and a world of suspicion and judgment. The mind trapped in a metaphorical concentration camp. That's Accutane. Now I know why the thing had so many warnings about users with suicidal ideations. It had a knack for exacerbating morbid obsessions.
I was waiting for ayahausca and expected the kiss in mdma than in ketamin.... Artist might have liked kat more...
So ketamine = love? GOTTA GO TRY THAT SHIT.
While I appreciate all kinds of art I can't jump on board with the drug titles here only the drug titles make me not like them because I think of how many Children and Youth will look at this as Glorifying life Destroying drugs... Yeah sure art pushes everything but damn really here? why not just make pedophilia look 'pretty' too. I guess only someone who has known lived and seen their family torn apart by Drug use would get this though right? I have seen so many people Utterly Destroyed that I can't wrap my head around this sort of thing...
I would say its great promotion for drugs...
What is THC
Weed
I've known of schizophrenics that can draw as well as this person. Some drugs do actually change your perspective but not on this scale. I should know, I've done way too much in my past life and have been an artist since I could hold a pencil.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say this took a heck of a lot longer than 20 days. No way someone is hitting Meth then the very next day taking Mescaline let alone Ketamine the day after that. Not that I would know anything about these drugs *cough*. After 20 days of doing these drugs back to back I would be surprised if this guy could talk, let alone create any art without needing another week long binge of sleep and multivitamin injections. Very cool art though. They definitely represent the drugs so I don't have any doubt he actually did the drugs. Love the DMT. Nailed that one. And good god Methoxetamine? Never tried MXE personally. Heard you really need to know the dosage or face the hospital. But that picture alone has me curious for sure. That rainbow blasting through the eye out the back of the head... sheesh. I can only imagine the trip on that drug. Great job on the paintings. Would love to have these on my wall.
Gr8 job
The last one is the best
Interesting how Ketamine and Love are so similarity portrayed. What do you think he was trying to say with that?
A VERY GOOD EXPERIMENT Genious ideea
Would have been interesting to see an example done 10 days later, sobor to see how bad this burned his brain.
It seems like a heap of clichés about drugs in the form of art. Excellent technique, but I would expect an influence of individual drugs on it. Drugs instead, they act only to didascalic level: cocaine / currency, acid / psychedelic colors, love (this is very rhetorical) / kiss. I do not think that the artist was under the influence of those drugs, I think more to his 'interpretation' of the above. I am confident that in this light you will be able to better appreciate the artist's work. (I apologize for my broken English).
FAKE FAKE FAKE the work is too regular , same style, same subjects, quiet pictures....;it is impossible under dope, specially so different dopes Do you think we are stupid asses and will believe you ?
I think he most likely used a specialized computer software to either develop or use a template that he could then change to express how he felt the various psychoactive drugs had effected his brain
FAKE....FAKE......FAKE ..... I'm a professionnal painter, I'm 65 .in my young yearsn I took amphetamins(from my doctor as medecines), twice mescaline , once lsd, one amix oflsd and mescaline a, marijuana and H during one year, I drunk alittle too much several times.... I can say that thosepictures are fakes, because they are too much alike ......same subject, same style, just different colours .....It is impossible to do such regularjob under dope and to take so many different dopes so close from one another... stupid article
Stay off drugs kids
This article makes me want to paint while taking different drugs one day after the other, and I will –despite boredpanda.com people keep on deleting my comment over and over again.
Total bullpoop. Codeine? Seriously?
This is bull poop. Codeine had virtually mind-altering effects. Conversely, some of these drugs are so powerful that hold a brush steady enough to paint with would be nearly impossible.
He didn’t paint the pictures he designed them on a computer after the effects of the drugs wore off based on his memory
And I made them Music!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnBT7vEfjlU&list=PLp1K6JFbXA2WV1G5OpnPm74kpEcZIlKTg

I think he should have had a few days off... he would have been knackered and what about the residual effects of one drug on the next? He needed to come down for a bit..especially around day 14 onwards.. it looked heavy!
He should have had a few days off to come down off some of those drugs. I am sure there were some residual effects going on there
Did he get addicted though? That's the important question.
Day 21 *Brian is taken to rehab*
"QUESTION: Did you actually take all take all substances listed in the project? ANSWER: As I publically mentioned on around day 14 of the Binge, I took some, not all. Here are the substances I did NOT take for the project. -GHB, Psilocybin, Poppers, Ether, 25i, MDMA" Source: http://www.psybry.net/

I'm happy that my drug of choice is sugar. (not that that's a good thing) I had to google most of these to find out what they even were! lol
I know almost none of these... O.o Some look interesting, most look rather scary. Although, I don't agree with the alcohol one at all (unless that's a hangover), so who knows how adequate these are to ones own stat of mind and reaction. I hope I have enough money, when I'm a really old lady, because that's when I want to try a few drugs I am wayyy to afraid to use right now.
This is pretty cool, but, um, is this LEGAL?
ok, im sure its not coincidence the poppers art looks like buttholes and weiners...
Love day 13; 26 & 18
Let's face it: everybody in this comment section is on drugs.
I really wish captions were attached to explain the way it felt too
Is the artist still alive after all these substances? :D
Naw, I'm dead.
Is the artist still alive after all these substances?
It's the same image with different colors and motifs attached. FAKE
Whether or not this is real, I think this is absolutely ridiculous. Yes, for the sake of enjoying art, expressing what drugs are like in art form, and living in the moment I will use potentially harmful drugs? Like others are saying, it doesn't make sense that this is real, but the message this is displaying is really dangerous. Living in the moment is great and all, but "living" in one moment could mean dying in the next.
I don't undersand any of these even the ones supposedly under the influence of drugs I've consumed.
overgloryfying of drugs Imagine the past, future, and linear time are gone,” Pollett explained to A+. “You can just focus on your existence in the present. The idea of tomorrow is laughable.

Brilliant work!! +_+
Why no pot?
The COCAINE illustration seems to have used the flamingo image from the old Christopher Cross album. Pretty distinctive.
The COCAINE illustration seems to have directly used the flamingo from the old CHRISTOPHER CROSS album.
Nice...
I like the last one
So, love is most similar to cat tranquilizer? Ok.
So... love is most like cat tranquilizer? Ok.
look like someong is loving ketamine ,see #18 #20 :P
Hahahahaa Poppers are for sex and he sees gigantic worms in his head and something that looks like a Sand Worm from Star Wars instead of his brain. I feel pretty bad for the ones that take poppers and then have sex
I bought a friend of mine a book from Bryan Lewis Saunders. He drew self-portraits while high on different drugs. I believe he said he ended up with some brain damage after his "experiment". His get crazy, and you can definitely tell he was "under the influence" while doing them.
Scroll the art from 1st to last at fast speed.. u will get high....
http://www.psybry.net/
first of all how he managed so easily to get off so many drugs.. do u know how hard is to be pure stable the next day... and second this is are pc work, no true spirit.. so it's pretty much fake to me.. third: i don't know why he pictured david bowie while on alcohol o.O ... and i guess he was in deed fucked up on love at the end. :D silly post.
images are beautiful BUT this seems like an attempt to downplay the devestating side effects of using drugs
After 5 years of using responsibly using drugs in moderation I can safely say that I am yet to encounter any devastating side effects. If by that you mean eating 12 bags of Dorritos after smoking a 20 bag then yes you are correct! The legality of something indicate it's harmfulness. Yes there are people that use drugs and in don't do so well in life. But most of the time it is not the drugs you should blame. They may have turned to drugs after something devastating happening to them. Or they may have some kind of addictive personality. There are way too many factors. But it is almost never the substance itself.
*The legality of something DOESN'T indicate it's harmfulness*
It seems fake to me, especially when you're on dmt you're inconcious.
It seems fake to me, especially when you're on dmt you're inconcious so how is this possible?
Dear Bored Panda Paulina... The real problem here is that if you're going to take drugs at all- you're not going to do it everyday- because you're going to need some time in between at least some of these trips to recuperate. 20 consecutive days? Whatever. And poppers are a few second long head-rush- not an extended trip- and doing them again and again and again and again is somewhat pointless.
its a lie, no one can do this when he is on drugs, cocaine and THC maybe the others I can't believe.. especially alcohol, every person who got drunk before, knows very well that alcohol makes no job perfect other than vomiting!

He doesn't seem to have taken many drugs, because he wouldn't be able to create these images under "real" influence. That aside, many of those substances aren't only dangerous, they're also illegal.
He made them after he did the drugs.
Get a life
Luckily I (still) have one. How about you?

illegal is a title created by humans, like the law, like books that sprung religions... you are all addicted to water , air, salts and glucose ... pointing out substances as evil or illegal is just like pork to jews... once , before refrigeration , pork was so dangerous that, hebrew law made it forbidden ... a logic response to what time and place this had sense... all permission slips...
Does that mean that Jews and Muslims can eat pork now that they can buy fridges?
And on Crystal Meth:http://i.imgur.com/8yGQdfw.jpg
Epic!
definitely fake, and useless to use the same source images/portraits/bills playing all with stereotype psychedelic effects when most of these drugs are not that visually directed but by meanings. On half on this, you would have quickly taken another direction just by resistance to the other cliche, and I know what I am talking about, as an artist & a common drug user without being a junkie. It's just what we call "a bored boring guy trying to make the buzz on the internet"
Let's hope, if he was high, that he's getting help now. Stunning artwork but sad under the circumstances.
Is this suggesting that to the artist, Ketamine feels similar to Love? Since the faces are the same and only the colours change.
Beautiful work... I applaud you for the experiment, Brian!
I recon this titels made up by the writer. The artist has more than likely just created art that symbolises each drug . No way would you be able to do this shit while on this stuff.
I think he did these after it wore off as a way to express the trip....
I want to get these printed off onto massive canvases and put them up around my house. They are BRILLIANTLY BEAUTIFUL!
troll
it was cool until the last one - "love." how gauche.
Absolutely incredible. GHB and mescaline look pretty amazing.
I still remember high school, when I was prescribed Accutane for hidradenitis supprativa. The biggest side effect of that was elevated sensations of general depression and social anxiety. Any and all suggestions for improvement felt like condemnation and threats, even if they weren't. The world was always dark and foggy, and I remember the proneness toward social withdrawal. Picture the default image as a collage of blues and grays and ugly greens, and a world of suspicion and judgment. The mind trapped in a metaphorical concentration camp. That's Accutane. Now I know why the thing had so many warnings about users with suicidal ideations. It had a knack for exacerbating morbid obsessions.
I was waiting for ayahausca and expected the kiss in mdma than in ketamin.... Artist might have liked kat more...
So ketamine = love? GOTTA GO TRY THAT SHIT.
While I appreciate all kinds of art I can't jump on board with the drug titles here only the drug titles make me not like them because I think of how many Children and Youth will look at this as Glorifying life Destroying drugs... Yeah sure art pushes everything but damn really here? why not just make pedophilia look 'pretty' too. I guess only someone who has known lived and seen their family torn apart by Drug use would get this though right? I have seen so many people Utterly Destroyed that I can't wrap my head around this sort of thing...
I would say its great promotion for drugs...
What is THC
Weed
I've known of schizophrenics that can draw as well as this person. Some drugs do actually change your perspective but not on this scale. I should know, I've done way too much in my past life and have been an artist since I could hold a pencil.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say this took a heck of a lot longer than 20 days. No way someone is hitting Meth then the very next day taking Mescaline let alone Ketamine the day after that. Not that I would know anything about these drugs *cough*. After 20 days of doing these drugs back to back I would be surprised if this guy could talk, let alone create any art without needing another week long binge of sleep and multivitamin injections. Very cool art though. They definitely represent the drugs so I don't have any doubt he actually did the drugs. Love the DMT. Nailed that one. And good god Methoxetamine? Never tried MXE personally. Heard you really need to know the dosage or face the hospital. But that picture alone has me curious for sure. That rainbow blasting through the eye out the back of the head... sheesh. I can only imagine the trip on that drug. Great job on the paintings. Would love to have these on my wall.
Gr8 job
The last one is the best
Interesting how Ketamine and Love are so similarity portrayed. What do you think he was trying to say with that?
A VERY GOOD EXPERIMENT Genious ideea
Would have been interesting to see an example done 10 days later, sobor to see how bad this burned his brain.
It seems like a heap of clichés about drugs in the form of art. Excellent technique, but I would expect an influence of individual drugs on it. Drugs instead, they act only to didascalic level: cocaine / currency, acid / psychedelic colors, love (this is very rhetorical) / kiss. I do not think that the artist was under the influence of those drugs, I think more to his 'interpretation' of the above. I am confident that in this light you will be able to better appreciate the artist's work. (I apologize for my broken English).
FAKE FAKE FAKE the work is too regular , same style, same subjects, quiet pictures....;it is impossible under dope, specially so different dopes Do you think we are stupid asses and will believe you ?
I think he most likely used a specialized computer software to either develop or use a template that he could then change to express how he felt the various psychoactive drugs had effected his brain
FAKE....FAKE......FAKE ..... I'm a professionnal painter, I'm 65 .in my young yearsn I took amphetamins(from my doctor as medecines), twice mescaline , once lsd, one amix oflsd and mescaline a, marijuana and H during one year, I drunk alittle too much several times.... I can say that thosepictures are fakes, because they are too much alike ......same subject, same style, just different colours .....It is impossible to do such regularjob under dope and to take so many different dopes so close from one another... stupid article
Stay off drugs kids
This article makes me want to paint while taking different drugs one day after the other, and I will –despite boredpanda.com people keep on deleting my comment over and over again.
Total bullpoop. Codeine? Seriously?
This is bull poop. Codeine had virtually mind-altering effects. Conversely, some of these drugs are so powerful that hold a brush steady enough to paint with would be nearly impossible.
He didn’t paint the pictures he designed them on a computer after the effects of the drugs wore off based on his memory
And I made them Music!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnBT7vEfjlU&list=PLp1K6JFbXA2WV1G5OpnPm74kpEcZIlKTg

I think he should have had a few days off... he would have been knackered and what about the residual effects of one drug on the next? He needed to come down for a bit..especially around day 14 onwards.. it looked heavy!
He should have had a few days off to come down off some of those drugs. I am sure there were some residual effects going on there
Did he get addicted though? That's the important question.
Day 21 *Brian is taken to rehab*
"QUESTION: Did you actually take all take all substances listed in the project? ANSWER: As I publically mentioned on around day 14 of the Binge, I took some, not all. Here are the substances I did NOT take for the project. -GHB, Psilocybin, Poppers, Ether, 25i, MDMA" Source: http://www.psybry.net/

I'm happy that my drug of choice is sugar. (not that that's a good thing) I had to google most of these to find out what they even were! lol
I know almost none of these... O.o Some look interesting, most look rather scary. Although, I don't agree with the alcohol one at all (unless that's a hangover), so who knows how adequate these are to ones own stat of mind and reaction. I hope I have enough money, when I'm a really old lady, because that's when I want to try a few drugs I am wayyy to afraid to use right now.
This is pretty cool, but, um, is this LEGAL?
ok, im sure its not coincidence the poppers art looks like buttholes and weiners...
Love day 13; 26 & 18
Let's face it: everybody in this comment section is on drugs.
I really wish captions were attached to explain the way it felt too
Is the artist still alive after all these substances? :D
Naw, I'm dead.
Is the artist still alive after all these substances?
It's the same image with different colors and motifs attached. FAKE
Whether or not this is real, I think this is absolutely ridiculous. Yes, for the sake of enjoying art, expressing what drugs are like in art form, and living in the moment I will use potentially harmful drugs? Like others are saying, it doesn't make sense that this is real, but the message this is displaying is really dangerous. Living in the moment is great and all, but "living" in one moment could mean dying in the next.
I don't undersand any of these even the ones supposedly under the influence of drugs I've consumed.
overgloryfying of drugs Imagine the past, future, and linear time are gone,” Pollett explained to A+. “You can just focus on your existence in the present. The idea of tomorrow is laughable. I can create art without concern of outsider judgment, without over analyzing my process, and intuitively enjoy creating the most honest work."
Brilliant work!! +_+
Why no pot?
The COCAINE illustration seems to have used the flamingo image from the old Christopher Cross album. Pretty distinctive.

Nice...
I like the last one
So, love is most similar to cat tranquilizer? Ok.

look like someong is loving ketamine ,see #18 #20 :P
Hahahahaa Poppers are for sex and he sees gigantic worms in his head and something that looks like a Sand Worm from Star Wars instead of his brain. I feel pretty bad for the ones that take poppers and then have sex
I bought a friend of mine a book from Bryan Lewis Saunders. He drew self-portraits while high on different drugs. I believe he said he ended up with some brain damage after his "experiment". His get crazy, and you can definitely tell he was "under the influence" while doing them.
Scroll the art from 1st to last at fast speed.. u will get high....
http://www.psybry.net/
first of all how he managed so easily to get off so many drugs.. do u know how hard is to be pure stable the next day... and second this is are pc work, no true spirit.. so it's pretty much fake to me.. third: i don't know why he pictured david bowie while on alcohol o.O ... and i guess he was in deed fucked up on love at the end. :D silly post.
images are beautiful BUT this seems like an attempt to downplay the devestating side effects of using drugs
After 5 years of using responsibly using drugs in moderation I can safely say that I am yet to encounter any devastating side effects. If by that you mean eating 12 bags of Dorritos after smoking a 20 bag then yes you are correct! The legality of something indicate it's harmfulness. Yes there are people that use drugs and in don't do so well in life. But most of the time it is not the drugs you should blame. They may have turned to drugs after something devastating happening to them. Or they may have some kind of addictive personality. There are way too many factors. But it is almost never the substance itself.
*The legality of something DOESN'T indicate it's harmfulness*
It seems fake to me, especially when you're on dmt you're inconcious.
It seems fake to me, especially when you're on dmt you're inconcious so how is this possible?
Dear Bored Panda Paulina... The real problem here is that if you're going to take drugs at all- you're not going to do it everyday- because you're going to need some time in between at least some of these trips to recuperate. 20 consecutive days? Whatever. And poppers are a few second long head-rush- not an extended trip- and doing them again and again and again and again is somewhat pointless.
its a lie, no one can do this when he is on drugs, cocaine and THC maybe the others I can't believe.. especially alcohol, every person who got drunk before, knows very well that alcohol makes no job perfect other than vomiting!

He doesn't seem to have taken many drugs, because he wouldn't be able to create these images under "real" influence. That aside, many of those substances aren't only dangerous, they're also illegal.
He made them after he did the drugs.
Get a life
Luckily I (still) have one. How about you?
