As artists, we often look at things from a different perspective, or interpret situations, things and meanings in a completely new way.. Bryan Saunders is an artist, who created ways to interpret himself in new perspectives.
"After experiencing drastic changes in my environment, I looked for other experiences that might profoundly affect my perception of self. So I came up with another experiment where everyday I took a different drug or intoxicant and drew myself under the influence."
Within weeks of this artistic experiment Saunders found himself, physically drained, mentally drained, and even altered from the experience.
"I became lethargic and suffered mild brain damage that wasn't irreparable. I am still conducting this experiment but over greater lapses of time and presently only take drugs that are prescribed to me by a doctor."
While some of his artworks come off as straight up comical, others turn quite dark. See some of the works from Saunders 'Drawing on drugs' below..

If you could go on a date with a past historical figure, who would it be? That is the game alt-J were playing when they wrote the single 'Deadcrush'. A track that is breathy and romantically edgy sounding. And the game, a fun one to play when you crack a cold one with mates this afternoon.
Scottish boys Franz Ferdinand have been having a bit of fun the past year. With a rework of 'Glimpse Of Love' off the album 'Always Ascending', there's an extra kick and punch we can get behind that's got everyone dancing out of sync this Friday.
Today we go back to the day where Julian Casablanca of The Strokes could make you question your sexuality in 'You Only Live Once'. The song title itself is a good reminder to do whatever it is you enjoy and make the most of it, which is probably why Julian could rock all white like no other.
