Drugs are good for Art:


Thru an LSD induced trip (sponsored by the US government in the late 1950's) our victim  patient was asked to make 9 drawings throughout the experiment.

He was given free reign over a box of crayons and paper.

Highlights include observations such as:

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

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

Ahhh... good times.
