2nd September 2014

Since 1995 Bryan Lewis Saunders has been producing self-portraits of himself everyday and now has over 8,000 of them.

Bryan says like snowflakes and fingerprints no 2 pictures are the same. In this small collection included here Bryan was looking for experiences that would affect the perception of self. In this experiment Brian took a different drug and drew a self-portrait under the influence.

An artist who truly suffers for their work! You can check out the full experiment here and all of Bryan’s other great artwork and experiments too.

*Under no circumstances am I or Joyenergizer promoting the use of drugs for the purpose of creating art.
