Yes, I am drug FREE!

But I found this rather interesting while I was taking a break from my psychedelic drawing, so check it out - it's a 1950's scientific experiment on how the effects of two doses of LSD affected an artist's drawings over time. This was of course done when LSD wasn't big yet, and people didn't really understand how potent and dangerous it was until the 60's and 70's.

While I was looking at this, I also found a series of drawings done over time by a schizophrenic man: http://instruct1.cit.cornell.edu/courses/nbb421/student2003/epl8/Blank%20Page%202.htm

damn i keep posting under the wrong udername, damn it

anyway

i think those are awfully amazing
especially since they fit together with a lot of the other stuff i read and heard about with drugs. ha ha
for one, the whole geometrical, fractal, abstract kind of stuff the artist drew. most likely he just drew what he saw. imagine the act of seeing, except you're looking at what it once was, but suddenly you are able to see it in a whole different view. everything changing and warping and vivid and breathing. every frame your eye can catch is an art piece. awesome!
seriously who can definately say that these people aernt experimenting a sort of enlightenment through these kind of things. breaking for a moment the trance of regular daily life
