Art on acid: LSD [pics] - GoFuckYourself.com

Not sure if this has been posted before but pretty cool:

Illustrator takes LSD before spending NINE HOURS drawing a series of increasingly-abstract self-portraits to demonstrate the drug's effect on her brain.

An artist took the concept of self-exploration to a whole new level when she attempted to demonstrate the effect that LSD has on the brain by taking a small dose of the drug before getting to work on a series of self portraits.

After being inspired by the Nine Drawings series, a collection of sketches drawn by an artist on LSD as part of the U.S. government's 1950's research studies with acid, Reddit user whatafinethrowaway decided to ask her artist friend to recreate the same experiment.

'She spent between 15 minutes and 45 minutes on each drawing,' wrote whatafinethrowaway of her friend, who took 200 mcg (0.2 milligrams) of acid, which is considered the minimum amount required to produce psychedelic hallucinations.

After 45 minutes, the artist began employing bright colors in her self-portrait, but said she didn't feel any different.

Within two hours, however, the drawings became more abstract and began featuring additional colors; the portraits drawn after the two-hour mark use a rainbow of different shades, ranging from a bright orange in the hair to a vibrant pink for the skin tone.

Things took a turn for the eerie when the artist stopped drawing eyes in the portraits, telling her friend: 'I don?t feel like drawing the eyes.'

Of the 11 portraits drawn, seven were done with empty spaces in place of the eyes, giving each drawing an incredibly creepy, doll-like effect.

The artist's final drawing, completed nine hours and 20 minutes after taking the LSD, is less colorful than her previous portraits, suggesting she is coming down from the drug, however the comparisons between this and her first drawing are quite remarkable.

While the first picture showed a neat representation of the artist, the final image is far more abstract and much larger than the initial attempt.

And while there is at least a flicker of color in the eyes, it seems the artist was still not fully able to bring herself to draw a complete eye, even at the end of her trip.

Well, now we know why all those stoner hippies loved tie-dye and psychedelic colors.

Yea because LSD is clearly the same as marijuana.

If you want to see some really good shit on acid check out Hunter S. Thompson.

The Beatles are a great example of what kind of brilliance comes of dropping acid.

It is often the case that on acid the senses are reversed so one my "see" sounds and "hear" light. Visuals are nearly always distorted as if looking through a fish-eye lens and of course time perception stops so that perspective is also gone.

This is indeed true, but all these things are 'just' side-effects.

The most important thing / meaning of Acid is what happens inside your mind, what happens with your Personality. Because it is Permanent. This is Not a recreational drug and Not a toy.
