These 9 drawings were done by an artist under the influence of LSD -- part of a test conducted by the US government during it's dalliance with psychotomimetic drugs in the late 1950's. The artist was given a dose of LSD 25 and free access to an activity box full of crayons and pencils. His subject is the medico that jabbed him.

 

First drawing is done 20 minutes after the first dose (50ug)

 

An attending doctor observes - Patient chooses to start drawing with charcoal.

 

The subject of the experiment reports - 'Condition normal... no effect from the drug yet'.

 

 

85 minutes after first dose and 20 minutes after a second dose has been administered (50ug + 50ug)

 

The patient seems euphoric.

 

'I can see you clearly, so clearly. This... you... it's all ... I'm having a little trouble controlling this pencil. It seems to want to keep going.'

 

 

2 hours 30 minutes after first dose.

 

Patient appears very focus on the business of drawing.

 

'Outlines seem normal, but very vivid - everything is changing colour. My hand must follow the bold sweep of the lines. I feel as if my consciousness is situated in the part of my body that's now active - my hand, my elbow... my tongue'.

 

 

2 hours 32 minutes after first dose.

 

Patient seems gripped by his pad of paper.

 

'I'm trying another drawing. The outlines of the model are normal, but now those of my drawing are not. The outline of my hand is going weird too. It's not a very good drawing is it? I give up - I'll try again...'

 

 

2 hours 35 minutes after first dose.

 

Patient follows quickly with another drawing.

 

'I'll do a drawing in one flourish... without stopping... one line, no break!'

 

Upon completing the drawing the patient starts laughing, then becomes startled by something on the floor.

 

 

2 hours 45 minutes after first dose.

 

Patient tries to climb into activity box, and is generally agitated - responds slowly to the suggestion he might like to draw some more. He has become largely none verbal.

 

'I am... everything is... changed... they're calling... your face... interwoven... who is...' Patient mumbles inaudibly to a tune (sounds like 'Thanks for the memory). He changes medium to Tempera.

 

 

4 hours 25 minutes after first dose.

 

Patient retreated to the bunk, spending approximately 2 hours lying, waving his hands in the air. His return to the activity box is sudden and deliberate, changing media to pen and water colour.

 

'This will be the best drawing, Like the first one, only better. If I'm not careful I'll lose control of my movements, but I won't, because I know. I know' - (this saying is then repeated many times).

 

Patient makes the last half-a-dozen strokes of the drawing while running back and forth across the room.

 

 

5 hours 45 minutes after first dose.

 

Patient continues to move about the room, intersecting the space in complex variations. It's an hour and a half before he settles down to draw again - he appears over the effects of the drug.

 

'I can feel my knees again, I think it's starting to wear off. This is a pretty good drawing - this pencil is mighty hard to hold' - (he is holding a crayon).

 

 

8 hours after first dose.

 

Patient sits on bunk bed. He reports the intoxication has worn off except for the occational distorting of our faces. We ask for a final drawing which he performs with little enthusiasm.

 

'I have nothing to say about this last drawing, it is bad and uninteresting, I want to go home now.'

I like the salt maze with the slug best. Reminds me of shit I used to do to ants when I was a kid.

I always thought that acid study was pretty amazing. Of course, I always liked acid.

The LSD art, Cockstrider...it's like vintage Tack, before the Nazi Tack

[rising up out of the back seat-nuh]

Tackzi?

[Guest StylesMark]

Yet, other people are considered "clique b".

Nothin' different, G. I just don't join the RAW chats and I enjoy rocking the boat in the CE folder.

 

I hope you all will someday understand so I can be accepted again...maybe in time for the next tournament?

 

love and hugz,

Well, we just all thought you left for good.

Tack didn't post the best cockstrider image.

I actually had grown to enjoy that pic over time, even if it does represent a very sad time in my life(the passing from one awesome sig file motif to another). I just don't know what digital space it's residing in currently </3

BE COURAGEOUS

 

Tell us how brave you are. Talk about how marginal, revolutionary, lonely, out there, edgy, pioneering, strange your ideas are compared to all the old safe boring tame ones everyone else has. Stand up straight, square your shoulders, squint a little as if facing a strong wind. Stifle a sigh now and then. If you can (this is difficult), make a muscle in your jaw twitch.

What do you do for a living ?

 

You're awfully intelligent, seems like you should be doing some kind of.....professional type job.

I've actually always preferred the spider-web drug studies, where the scientists (sociologists? psychiatrists?) gave spiders different kinds of drugs to see how capable they were of spinning "normal" spider webs.

 

The LSD study would be too easily swayed by the subject ... someone thinking that change is inevitible is more likely to accentuate the changes. A spider, IMHO, would be unaware that something is supposed to happen and thus whatever happened was more natural & legit.

You could do it six times with the guy, half the time stone him, the other half not.

It would be terrifying to get fucked up on LSD when you weren't expecting it.

Wow, I don't even want to think about that.

Be dismissive

 

Go on, don't hesitate. Brush people off, especially if they know about something you don't know about. If they later turn out to be Nobel economists or widely-read philosophers, just pretend you've forgotten the whole episode. "When? Where was that? I don't remember that at all, you must have me confused with someone else."

If La Parka riding some kind of Domo-kun beast while proudly flipping the bird doesn't count as Pulitzer material, we're all doomed.

Cheers and catcalls

 

Use hoorah and boo words.

 

Hoorah: heart, feeling, spiritual, holistic, instinct.

Boo: intellect, cold, analytical.

this thread needs more cockstrider.

Claiming is Succeeding

 

Blur the distinction between claiming to make your case, and actually making it. If anyone notices this, act surprised and wounded. Notice someone you need to talk to across the room.
