Salvia Divinorum with Justin Bieber
So, finally, I'm done with the fourth picture featuring Justin Bieber on drugs. And it is a detailed and weird one at that. A really special one too, because Salvia Divinorum (or Salvorin A and B) was the substance that got me into this mess, as it was while reading on online forums about smoking salvia and listening to the song "U Smile" slowed down 800% that I got the idea of linking Justin Bieber with drugs and started on the series. The weird thing though, is that all of my pictures are more compatible with the music of Animal Collective, even though I specifically had this song ("U Smile" slowed down 800%) in mind the entire time. But I guess that's not a bad thing, since they're my favourite band.
Anyhow, the effects of Salvia Divinorum are described as reality melting into waves, flowing all through the environment you're in and washing into your body and mind. You will also feel like you're a part of your surroundings, that you're not like a separete induvudal anymore but one with the room you're in, the city, the country, the earth itself. Everything is a part of you and you are a part of everything. At high doses it's said that you can experience merging with the whole universe and, for a second, understand "everything" (whatever that means). It's also described as having a comicbook like effect on your vision, and some experience the world as monochrome while under the influence of this plant (this monochrome business I chose to ignore, since the picture wouldn't fit in with the others in the series if I hadn't).
The plant itself is kind of curious. It's a feeble-looking thing that can't reproduce itself, since it's seeds are infertile, and it has to be propagated through cuttlings. It rarely flowers, and has an integrated defect that makes the leaves form black patches of dead matter all over no matter how good conditions it grows in. The only reason it's still living today is because of human cultivation; if the Mayans had not found out about it's "divine" effects when smoked and started growing it, it would have died out over a thousand years ago.
As I just finished this picture I'm not so sure about it yet. I haven't placed it among the others to see if it fits in, (I mean the colors are quite different from the other Justin-pictures), and it has some kind of elf-like fantasy quality that I'm not sure I appreciate. But I guess it is as it always is when I make pictures - I start with an idea, and then I back off and let the picture paint itself. Ultimately, this is how the picture wanted me to do it, and I guess I just have to accept that.
One noteworthy thing in the picture, and something I'm kinda proud of, is the amount of detail I put in on mr. Bibers haircut (this is only visible when viewed in the large version of the picture you can view by clicking on the picture once, then right clicking on the enlarged picture and choose "show picture").
Finally I should probably mention is the purpose of the picture (or any of the other pictures in this series), which is something that's kinda hard to explain. I did not make this to get kids into drugs or anything like that. I'm not for or against the use of hallucinogens, but I find the concept interesting. The thing I would like my pictures to promote is self exploration. If you can feel like you're one with the universe, wouldn't you like to do so? And shouldn't there be a way of feeling this without the use of any substances?
I think so. Or at least I really hope so. I believe everything is beautiful, not good or bad as we commonly put it, but more like the way you feel while reading a good book, watching a great movie or looking at a well made picture. It may horrify you, make you sad, make you happy or whatever, but that's beside the point. The point is that it actually makes you think or feel, and that's really all you have to do. That is why life is so beautiful.
Here's the song that inspired it all:

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.

LSD with Justin Bieber
In English:
The last few days I've been surfing the webb, checking out "Entheogenic art" and old pschedelic 60's and 70's posters; this after seeing some really cool vintage posters at a local café / recordstore called Dirty Records. The Posters I found were completely awesome, but unfortunately not for sale, and when I got home and searched for them online I found them extremely expensive. This is why I've been trying to do my own interpretation of psychedlia (which I, after a couple of hours of google-ing, found out a lot of people already had given a try), with the drugs that inspired this form of art as the central theme. The payoff will probably be nothing more than having a couple of really weird and cool pictures hanging on my own wall, but that's more than enough for me!
Now, what I have in mind with this project is making five pictures that goes together (a plan that I probably won't be able to materialize as this picture took way too long to complete), each a kind of poster for a specific psychoactive substance: LSD, Mescaline, Psilocybine/psilocine, THC and Salvia Divinorum.
The picture I just finished here depicts my favourite megastar, Justin Biber, high on Acid (LSD) and uses as many patterns as I could possibly force into it, and ofcourse, the unavoidable peace symbol. Like the rest of my pictures it's quite big, roughly 176cm x 126cm 300 dpi. And though I really wish I were responsible for coming up with the goofy racoon head and the weird fly-glasses, I have to admit that there's another genius out there who's imaginiation is as brilliant as mine as the picture's just a "parody" (in lack of a better word) of the alredy existing photograph of our beloved Justin, which I am posting below for comparison.
Well, when my next picture will be ready I'm not sure - I haven't started on anything new so far - but I will try to force myself to make this project a success, and hope that I within a forseeable future will have five home made psychadelic posters hanging on the walls of my bedroom!
Here's a few links for those of you who would like to see some of the entheogenic/psychadelic art that has inspired me:

Nå, när nästa bild dyker upp vet jag inte - jag har inte påbörjat något nytt än så länge - men jag håller tummarna för att detta lilla projekt skall gå vägen, och att fem egenhändigt utmejslade psykedeliska posters ska hänga på min vägg inom en snar framtid!
