We often hear how, for some people, being under the influence unlocks their hidden artistic souls. It might be true for some, and it might be an urban myth. We won’t know for sure, and each person can have different results. There is one example out there that might get us closer to understanding this phenomenon—self-portraits on drugs by Bryan Lewis Saunders.

Mostly known for his art on drugs, Bryan also expresses his artistic soul with performance art and poetry, videography, and stand-up tragedy. And it’s not your usual inspirational poems about life. He set out on his self-portrait a day journey in 1995, and since then, he hasn’t missed a single day. His most viral work of self-portraits under the influence is also part of this long-time commitment.

Bryan Lewis Saunders’ art is obviously on a more niche side; the painted self-portraits on drugs put him on the map, as no one has ever attempted something like this. For those who love that kind of art, these creative illustrations can act as a getaway drug into the world of Saunders. He is undoubtedly one of the most notable modern artists with a vast portfolio of different, thought-provoking art forms.

So dig into this list and explore the perception of the world by a brain under the influence. Share these portraits with your friends, and while you’re welcome to appreciate the art, we urge you not to attempt to recreate something similar. Stay safe and healthy!

"2 caps" means nothing. How much did they weigh, what species, etc. That could be a very mild dose, or a huge one. Very unscientific.

    I do not get the fuss here (Bored Panda readers being offended by everything as usual .. :/) This is a psychoactive chemical substance too and if the artist had the opportunity to put in in the list as experiment, why not? The portrait has interesting informational value, he probably did not feel whole, like something is missing in his mind?

    If this is not a hoax... if only Mr. Saunders could have stopped right there, cleaned up and seriously studied that latest creation of his, then compared it to his body of work up to that point, he might have recognized the potential riding along inside of him.

    What Motivates Bryan Lewis Saunders to Draw Self-Portraits Under the Influence?

    After a hiking trip with his friend and a harsh experience living in a drug-infested building, Bryan had a psychotic break due to dehydration, which led him to experiment with drawing self-portraits on drugs despite never trying them before.

    His experiment was just as successful as other mediums in addressing the mission of his art—tragedy. Saunders often addresses how he seeks to unearth emotions from his audience. Unlike many other famous paintings, he aims his art to make men cry publicly and make everyone feel the feelings of life many people know but choose to ignore for their own sanity.

    Of course, the artist runs into those people who get “inspired” by his sometimes scary paintings, but not in the way he intended. He still tries to reach them, though, even if it’s too late for them.

    Well the alcohol was different as the standardisation wasn't the same and then it is really the strength of the thujone, in the wormwood, in the absinthe. I am not aware of proper absinthe outside of Europe, or not imported from Europe. But even so these days...???Most of the time there is no wormwood...and if they go out of their way to say it is there, they can still reduce the amount of thujone..... We used to be able to (1900's to 1940's)buy morphine and cocaine over the counter in the chemist, when you can do that, who cares about the absinthe you are drinking....

    The Birth of "Under The Influence"

    In March 1995, artist Bryan promised himself to create a new self-portrait every day for the rest of his life. He has kept this promise; Saunders has made nearly 12,400 of them. Of course, nothing could rival the most famous portraits, but the concept alone sets the artist apart from everyone else.

    While this sounds like quite the experiment, in 2000, he set out to create an even more radical subseries within the project. The artist painted tens of self-portraits while on mind-altering drugs, so "Under The Influence" was born.

    Opium is a highly addictive narcotic drug acquired in the dried latex form the opium poppy (Papaver somniferum) seed pod. The latex is bitter in taste and contains varying amounts of alkaloids such as morphine, codeine, thebaine and papaverine. Other synthetic or semisynthetic opium derivatives include fentanyl, methadone, oxycodone and hydrocodone. https://www.drugs.com/illicit/opium.html

    "The widespread smoking of opium introduced by the Dutch resulted in the Chinese Empire prohibiting its use. However, following military success by the British during the Opium War in 1856, opium cultivation and its use in China increased and became more widespread. The British colonial government established, through Hong Kong, one of the largest business centres for prepared opium flowing into China. In 1918, opium accounted for nearly 45% of the colonial government’s revenue and it continued to contribute a significant proportion of its revenue until the beginning of World War II. The ease of opium availability resulted in a high prevalence of opium addiction" https://www.who.int/substance_abuse/activities/opium_abuse_and_its_management.pdf

    If you take opium, you support the Taliban. "Afghanistan is the world's largest producer of opium. With an estimated annual export value of $1.5-$3bn, the opium poppy is big business, supplying the overwhelming majority of illicit heroin worldwide. Although there is some cultivation in government regions, most of the poppy growing takes place in areas controlled by the Taliban and is believed to be an important source of income." https://www.bbc.com/news/world-46554097

    Dextromethorphan (DXM) is an ingredient in many over-the-counter (OTC) cough and cold medicines. Taking a lot of DXM causes hallucinations and out-of-body sensations, DXM also can make users have trouble controlling their limbs and cause blurred vision, slurred speech, dizziness, and impaired judgment. Other short-term effects include: paranoia and confusion; excessive sweating; nausea and vomiting (large quantities of cough syrup almost always cause people to throw up); belly pain; irregular heartbeat and high blood pressure; restlessness; dry, itchy skin and facial redness, and large quantities can cause dangerous side effects, including loss of consciousness, seizures, brain damage, and death. https://kidshealth.org/en/parents/cough-cold-medicine-abuse.html

    Bryan Lewis Saunders and the Effects of the Experiment

    Within weeks of undergoing this experiment, he became lethargic and suffered mild brain damage. Saunders even became a frequent guest at the hospital. Nevertheless, he continued drawing. The artist sought "experiences that might profoundly affect his perception of self," when you see just how different each of the drawings from "Under The Influence" is, you can't help but think he succeeded.

    Saunders said the brain damage resulted in "psychomotor retardation and confusion," but at least it was repairable. He's still conducting this experiment, but over greater lapses of time, and with drugs prescribed by a doctor.

    It can be synthesized into smokable crystals that give a 15-minute high that seems a lot longer. The brain releases it when we die, and some have theorized that it's responsible for near-death experiences and the "whole life flashed in front of my eyes) phenomenon.

    The repetitive geometric patterns give it something of a mandala apperance. Interesting that the "connecting sensation" is at the crown chakra, which is said to give us access to higher states of consciousness.

    What Other Types of Media Has Bryan Lewis Saunders Published?

    The artist partakes in a lot of different forms of art. Videography, audio works that include tape recordings of his sleep and even dreams. Bryan has adopted popular art mediums and adapted them into his own. Some of his latest audio and video works include:

    • Stream of Unconscious Vol. 7 with Joke Lanz and Dylan Nyoukis (Stand-Up Tragedy Records, 2013)
    • Bryan Lewis Saunders & James Hollenbaugh (Videography, 2012)
    • The Confessor (Stand-Up Tragedy Records, 2013)
    • Near Death Experience (Erratum audio works, 2010)

    Most of Bryan Lewis Saunder's works are praised by those familiar with his message but hated by others. That's the life of an artist; the fear of being misunderstood often comes true in their lives. His self-portraits on drugs took the concept a step further, and those paintings reached the general population.

    The Hike of Transformation: Nature, Art, and the Connecting Troubling Reality

    To unwind, Saunders went hiking with his buddy Brandon Bragg, something he hadn't done before. "It was incredible," he said. "I had 5 pounds of art supplies with me! Every day, I saw tons of beautiful things in nature. I'm from the city and so every new kind of bark I saw, or toadstool, or wild animal gave me such a rich wealth of phenomena to draw and see myself in a totally different world. That experience was truly miraculous and healing.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    “While Brandon and I were hiking one day, he asked me, 'Whatever happened with that documentary you were going to make with the veterans and the loonies?' And I told him how everything had happened so fast with the tragedies and how I thought the people would be really interesting to document, but in fact they were all on drugs, suffering in solitude, some too obese to physically leave their apartment, and for many, it was all they could do to get out of their recliners 3 times a day.”

    “I told him how when I first moved in, a paraplegic in a wheelchair showed me an encyclopedia of pills and said he could find at least one of every kind of pill in that book in the building and that book was huge."

    The Unraveling Journey: Art, Hallucinations, and a Radical Project

    When Saunders and Bragg returned to NY, the artist unknowingly became dehydrated, hallucinating, and had a psychotic break. He ditched his friend at a monastery because he thought he was trying to poison him.

    "I took the Greyhound straight back to Tennessee, where I had an epiphany. I thought, not only am I going to draw myself every day, but I'm also going to do a different drug every day. After all, there was one of everything in the building... And that was when I officially started the project."

    A combination of dark sadness and easy access led Saunders to satisfy his drive to experience as many different things as possible.

    From Viral Controversy to Empathetic Connection: the Impact of Saunders' Experiment

    He said the images first went viral in January 2011, and it was "excruciatingly distressing and morbidly terrifying." Saunders got quite a few hate mails. "They either wanted me to commit suicide myself, or they themselves wanted the honor of putting me down like an animal. Sleazy companies came out of the woodwork too," he recalled. "This time around it's been so much nicer and friendlier."

    But the popularity of this one experiment is enormous. "It gives people an opportunity to discover some of the other things I do or have done as well. Things that I feel are a lot more important, both socially and artistically. And it's also opened the door to communicate with some other incredible people who feel that they are alone in the world, and in one way or another are suffering and having trouble. I'm older and like to think I can be of some help in that department."

    I really feel like this doesn't represent tramadol at all. For me, it makes me motivated, enthusiastic and the need to be doing something productive (organising my things, changing room layout, practical learning, baking). That is until the the haunting headaches arrive, depending on which dose I took. I'd recommend codeine over tramadol :)

    For a guy with his drug use, Tramadol effects would be next to NIL.

    He is a serious drug abuser. Two oxys and a Xanax are barely going to touch him. If he ever needs true pain control like in hospice, then he may have real problems getting it.

    SD doesn always do anything. It's said that a slight majority doesn't feel anything. I got out of it - fast changing size of pupils, along with everything getting darker and brighter, randomly - and some blurry stuff at the edge of the field of vision. Found it to be boring (this was in the year before it was forbidden in germany ... 2004 or so?).

    Depends on how used to opioides he is. Not at all - 20 mg will do. If severely (daily user) - three digits...

    How is oxycodone dangerous? I really don't get this ... the opioides you buy from some weirdo on the streets are dangerous, all of them - but this is absolutely reliable regarding dosage and ingredients, therefore accidents are easily avoidable.

    Interesting. But it can take 2-4 weeks to actually see the effect of Zoloft. Especially at a low dosage. This might still be placebo effect. Still interesting, though. Zoloft has allowed me personally to live a normal life. Many of these medicines, while dangerous if misused, can be life saving and greatly improve quality of life for people suffering from physical and mental ailments. I do realize this is supposed to reflect drugs that are habitually abused, however. It is very interesting to see the altered perspective and change in cognitive and motor function under the influence, though doing this is highly dangerous and should not be attempted by anyone.

    HAHAHAHA! As someone who currently takes Zoloft, no. You aren't getting high off of 50 mgs. That's part of my prescription! I don't even know anything about drug use stuff! I've just taken zoloft for YEARS!

    Pretty messed up to be so gd judgmental! A lot of this was drawn during hospital visits. Your comment is vile and ugly. You have NO idea who this guy really is, or what he's been through, but I think it is pretty amazing what he's done here. Plus, he's been brave enough to show us a side of him, totally exposed like this. I'd like to see you undertake such an artistic endeavor!
