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.

This is drawing number 2, created 85 minutes after the first dose and 20 minutes after the second. The surroundign text says:

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.'

I don't know if it's real -- there's disappointingly little corroborating evidence --but it's interesting to watch the progression all the same. Given that I've never done acid, I don't know if it's believable or not, but I buy it.
