In 1995, a fabulous artist called Bryan Lewis Saunders started a crazy project to create a new self portrait every day for the rest of his life. This does sound alright but some of the portraits are being made under the influence of various drugs. Which I totally disagree with but I think that the experiment is very interesting to look at from the point of view of a scientist or just looking at the effects of different drugs !
By now, he has created about 8,000 self-portraits and within weeks [of the experiment] he became lethargic and suffered mild brain damage. Which is very unfortunate as he is so talented .
He still continued the project, but under medical supervision and continued becoming ill .The series of portraits are very interesting and even educational I think .
I really like these pictures and I think they are incredible to compare to each other and the way they are painted with the different colours reflects how the drug makes you feel I think.
Don’t try this at home. My favourite painting is the Marijuana because of the hypnotising look.
