Artist Bryan Lewis Saunders Takes A New Drug a Day and Then Draws Self Portraits


Crystal Meth

Have you ever wonder how much drugs it takes to actually alter ones perception of life? Bryan Lewis Saunders  wondered the same and then decided to do something about it. The Washington D.C. based artist took every mind-altering drug that he could and then drew himself .

Saunders had this to saying about his project named “DRUGS”

“After experiencing drastic changes in my environment, I looked for other experiences that might profoundly affect my perception of the self. So I devised another experiment where everyday I took a different drug and drew myself under the influence. Within weeks I became lethargic and suffered mild brain damage. I am still conducting this experiment but over greater lapses of time. I only take drugs that are given to me.”

Below are his self discoveries on drugs ranging from Crystal Meth to Xanax to Marijuana:
