Animal Collective T-shirt

I've personally had some strangely profound moments listening to Animal Collective; they somehow put me in an almost meditative state of mind - and some of these moments may be the most precious I've experienced (and probably ever will experience).
It took me awhile to realize how special this band really was, but it was worth the wait. In a way, and I mean a really positive way, they changed my life.
And that's why I'm not so sure about this picture actually. I kind of hate it, and I kind of like it. I hate it, probably because it can't possibly be as good as what it's supposed to represent, and I like it because it's not really a bad picture at all.
I started on it a while back as a hand made pencil drawing (the first picture below is a colored version of this drawing, and below it is the black and white original), but when the "character" was finished I got scared I might ruin it with a background and decided to do the rest on my computer. I'm not sure if this was a good idea or not, but it's not like I can change it as the original is somewhat damaged now.
Anyhow, when I had finished coloring it I tried to make a cool background, but it didn't work. So I asked my brothers girlfriend what she thought about it and she said it would look really cool as a t-shirt. This got me thinking, and soon afterwards I made the picture that I've posted above. I guess one day I'll make a new picture for animal collective that I'm more happy with, but for now this will do.


Mescaline with Justin Bieber


In English:
So, this is the second picture in my postercampain for psychadelic drugs! And by now I have decided to feature our beloved Justin Bieber in every one of these pictures, which may prove quite difficult as he seems to be posing the same way on every picture you can find on Google. Anyway, the drug this poster is supposed to symbolize is mescaline, a fenetylamine that naturally occurs in different types of cacti, of which the most famous would probably be peyote. Due to this I chose to replace the top of Justins head with one of these cacti, and as peyote (as well as most other kind of succulents and cacti) grows in the desert, I chose the desert as the pictures setting.

Other things I've read about this drug is that it alters your perception of time - a minute might seem like eternity, an hour may pass in the blink of an eye. This I try to represent by making mr Biebers right eye look old and blind, while the other still looks young, though somewhat fucked up. Other common effects of the drug is nausea, visual hallucinations (living objects, like plants, apparently seem very strange while high on this substance, and to some people extraordinarily beautiful), "magic" patterns, etc, which inspired some of the background, and the smaller Justin, throwing up a flower.


På Svenska:
Så var jag klar med den andra bilden i mitt affischkampanj för psykedeliska droger! Har nu bestämt mig för att ha med vår käre Justin i alla dessa bilder, vilket kanske kommer bli svårt då han poserar ungefär likadant på varenda jävla bild. Hur som helst är drogen som bilden ska representera meskalin, som är en psykoaktiv fenetylamin som naturligt uppstår i olika typer av kaktusar, varav den mest kända borde vara peyote-kaktusen. Denna kaktus valde jag alltså att använda som toppen av Justins huvud, och då den växer i öknen använde jag mig av just öknen som setting.
Andra saker jag läst om drogen är att den gör det svårt för en att uppfatta tid, att en minut kan kännas som en evighet och att en timme kan flyta förbi på ett ögonblick. Detta försökte jag representera genom att låta Biebers ena öga se gammalt och rynkigt ut, medan det andra ser ungt men något vridet ut. en annan av drogens effekter är tydligen också att man ska se skönhet i växter och liknande under ett meskalinrus, samt må illa, så då tyckte jag att det passade bra med en extra Bieber i bakgrunden som kräktes ut en blomma. 
Gamen som cirkulerar i vänstra toppen av bilden lade jag mest till för att fylla ut bilden, men kan väl även symbolisera rädsla, som man säkert kan känna stundvis under inflytandet av en såpass stark drog.
