  • i used to be a writer on drugs..

    but i don't think the artistic temperament--all things considered--goes well with drugs. the imagination is too big and the mind too self-reflexive to be able to handle all of that interior re-decorating and re-working. we are already pretty messed up people.

    but as for drugs--Witkacy (polish surreal painter) did them for sure and made sure to include which ones he did on all of his paintings (notably, he enjoyed Peyote).
