Artist Takes Various Drugs and Makes a Self-Portrait

Home - by - September 15, 2012 - 16:00 America/New_York - 32 Comments

Inspired by Xanax is a psychedelic hipster-esq pastel image of Saunders donning a 'My Little Pony' t-shit and beanie hat 

Words fail the description of 'Bath Salts', by far the most disturbing image, hacked into the paper with frustrated pen jabs

In 'Psilocybin Mushrooms (2 caps onset)' Saunders looks utterly thrilled, his eyes bulging and his mouth formed in an extatic grin.

See what he took and which pictures were the result  HERE

    Always seemed like my best drawings of people was when I only looked at them and could not lift my pencil. They were very fascinating anyway. And fun.

    So he suffered from ‘minor brain damage’ AFTER taking the drugs… I don’t think he’s got that in the right order.

    I call bullshit. Cephalexin – an antibiotic caused him to produce a KKK-like drawing?

    The bath salts – he may have actually taken that stuff.

    RosalindJ has it right.
    This is totally bogus. The only way half these drugs would alter your mind is if you dropped a kilo of them on your head.

    No talent little liberal shit.

    Has to do hard drugs to get ‘inspired’?

    I find I am becoming increasingly intolerant all things left and more easily aggravated the closer we come to Nov.

    When I looked at the link and saw how many pictures there were, I had to agree with Brooke. There was something awry before the drugs.

    Wow, this made me think of the recent interviews Beck did with people who talked about how they’d been personally helped by Mitt Romney. It was quite touching and I thought about all the time I waste and how few people, outside my own family, I help. When you hear about how one person makes so much difference in the world and then see something like this so-called “artist” who wastes his gray matter, time and money drawing pictures of himself under the influence it’s a little scary just how destructive a self-centered, bored person can be. This isn’t art, it’s bored self-indulgence.

    This is so 70′s. I had a friend who would get drunk and pour beer onto his canvas, then trace it and figure out what it was in the morning.

    I still use that technique to impress women. Works EVERY time.

    Did he take those drugs? Guaranteed yes; he’s a brain-dead liberals. Did he make this “art” while on the drugs? I’d bet not. And I don’t give a damn if a “doctor” was present or not. Practically every one of these is just what you would expect. Look at the bath salts. Disturbing, almost…hmmmm…zombie-like. I didn’t see that coming.

    And I’ll bet it WAS a gov’t grant. The Ministry of Silly Walks would be a better way to spend the money.

    I’m sure he conned some artsy fartsy into underwriting his ‘expenses’ for this pile of crap. Yah, the Cephalaxin was my tipoff, too, although I was amused at the typo on the My Little Pony caption ( a T-shit? really??) and chagrined that the imbecile who wrote the article had no idea that the mysterious “mechanical device” was a Morse key.
