This Is Your Face On Drugs: An Artist Explores Creativity Under The Influence. It’s a topic that’s inspired endless debate--the link between art and creativity and brain-altering chemicals.
Usually, the drugs are a lifestyle choice of "creative" types. In the case of artist Bryan Lewis Saunders, they were a key part of the process and end product. Saunders, a performance and visual artist, undertook a high profile experiment in creativity, starting several years ago whereby, according to the artist, he created a series of self-portraits, each one done under the influence of a different substance--pretty much an A to Z assortment, from prescription meds like Abilify and Xanax to crystal meth.
