I just found this. Some guy taking another drug every day and then drawing a self portrait.

Wow, that's interesting. Here is one of his videos called The Store:

I don't think that I'll ever say 'I'm going to the store' without thinking that I am adding something to this video.

I have a 1970 poster of this artist, Nick Hyde
He must have been on somethin'

By now, a stem!
It's an interesting concept and some of the art is pretty decent, but the whole thing seems a little contrived to me.
Is a small glass of absinthe really going to affect anyone much? 15mg of buspar?
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure some of the drugs on his list would rock your world, but if taking 2 weeks of Zoloft supposedly changes his perception that much, I have to wonder about the legitimacy of the rest of the drawings.

It probably is contrived in many ways, even making a concept like this publicly known adds to it.
But I see it rather as a playfull concept than as a serious ambition. I don't think the goal is taking some drug and then saying, like: Now it is the drug drawing itself, I'm completely under influence and that's what comes out.
I see it as a sort of experiment where the drug and the "artist" (if something like that exists) are meeting somewhere in the middle and then look what might happen. Sometimes the drug takes over, sometimes the artist is trying or forcing it too much and the result becomes kitschy or simply doesn't work.
But I like the idea. It's interesting.

Every time she said "Again" and pronounced it "a GAIN" it made me want to hit her across the face with a beat up paperback copy Hollywood....

Brian Lewis Saunders is great and I think he hit it right on the head for the drugs I know about. AS for that smelly old hippie chick dancing around with the cam corder in her back yard in Sherman Oaks with no view, blah!
I also kind of noticed that maybe some of the other great artists here are possibly medicated, no not possibly but for sure.

Totally true!
Zoloft isn't much different than Prozac and changes your perception ZERO, no matter how long you take it. May change your mood, yes, but not perception or counciousness.
On the other hand, this guy seems to be a case for Haldol, which means: no matter, what he takes at a given moment, his perceptions would be strange anyway.
Still I like some of his paintings/drawings.
