I really enjoy the excercise of drawing in red lighting, it makes me think of Bryan Lewis Saunders Color month experiments

this his website where u can read about it in his words

but this is the basics of the experiment:

'YELLOW / RED / BLUE MONTHS'

"While living in a small office (app. 7'x21') with flourescent lights I began to notice the important role that the environment could play in ones interpretation of the self. So in an effort to manipulate my environment I did an experiment where for three months I lived (and painted) 24 hours a day seven days a week under the influence of different colored flood lights. Each month I chose a different primary color. The first month I had 6 yellow flood lights always on. The next month I had 6 red flood lights and the last month I had 6 blue ones."

Walk Before You Crawl (sleep talking)

Oh Wait a minute That’s right You’re a fucking idiot Digging through clothes Really close Mean Pouring gasoline on people’s things You’re slow It’s where Bossanova lives Or Bossanova already lives Bossanova’s already gone Bossanova’s already gone There’s no house He drove for 11 hours Helmet Helmet helmet Quavar Quavar Sir Helmet Newton and Isaac Quavar Came together And put milk in a jar The pope didn’t charge him with Heresy After he left Stand trial for heresy Post The postal service did Then I’ll murder Chainsaw Roy’s picture I’m in the middle like that Not him he traded places I know that’s not you You gotta trade places with somebody else So if you get jailed or go to prison it’s not you Helmet figured it out that’s how he kept his head It’s just pandemonium Just random pandemonium Random pandemonium random pandemonium It happens like that Mean Me three Well I didn’t have the party but the party was for me Random pandemonium With cinnamon schnapps I’m angry when I dances That’s all it was Sarah Sarah Father wants you To come back home And off drugs They quit taking pills But he brought some with him in case you freak out Listen he’s your father You can trust him I don’t wanna go I’ll knock him out Antoine Foucault had been holding her hostage It’s gonna take a lot of Re-brainwashing Programming Better get her in the car Right Sarah? You guys’ve been through it all She takes the calls Here The paying venues rock ’n’ roll clubs Won’t let bands play unless they Sing political things Let ‘em play unless they sing hip to hip Hipster days Bitch slap ‘em James Elroy would have approved of hipsters Too He would too Something ‘cause there’s no nobody else does Get rid of it when everybody else goes finds out I know James Elroy would have approved The usual concerns Jesus bagel issues Go down Revenge revenge revenge it circles the globe Acts of revenge from one to another Can make a human madder You’ll repeat in 24 Hours Rob’s in Chile He’s friends with the demon I know Smokestacks down the hall You ain’t bring my money He asked for feedback and so I gave it to him Real in depth and wealth of ? He didn’t even thank me for it So I neglected him The piece in the girl scout show yeah right It’s unlikely That people will come to your house all day And And crawl on all fours only Even if you have a badger And a lot of turtles and tortoises Like a zoo Neighbors want you out But you have lots of land But it’s your habitat So you can do whatever you want with it but I don’t You can’t Treat people like that Not like a dog You don’t have groceries You don’t have a vehicle And the tortoises and the turtles They like bread But they They like fruit and o- And other things to And people they have to walk 17 miles to get the tortoises and turtles food Bright Bipedal Peedal by pedal They’re doing it they’re walking upright to go get the food for the tortles The tortles and the turtoises Because people think you’re the director John Waters That’s why they crawl on all fours all the time Crawl on all fours all day Every day They think They think they’re being filmed for a part in a movie They think they’re being cast How much How much crawling and torture can one take? I know it’s been like 20 some days and they still are crawling around John Waters Is devliish Remember that kid Confused him for a badger Orange on one side Dark brown on the other and then right in the middle was a white stripe and then on his head it switched Colors switched sides And he was waddling In the cracks around the building And then he waddled past the dead possum And when He came out on the other side he was a boy Wasn’t a badger He was a 16 year old that needed motor oil He did I know You thought badgers were magic ? He wasn’t a badger he didn’t Want the color anymore ? It was cheaper for him to give up everything Have to get gas not have to get motor oil Not have to get the car fixed And just walk on all fours What? Cheapest way is not the best way You could end up like a puppet Doing tricks and experiment For famous movie directors How many days would you crawl on all fours to star in a motion picture? ? When the turtles got strawberries and tomatoes they’d walk upright too They’d be so happy They’d get bipedal Meats Increase brain activity Yes ? I never talk this much when I’m dying You go on and on and on and on Strategy Risk G-A-Y Can’t afford ‘em You die ? Covered in lyme ? The way you were More like a Ghost and a mummy That’s what you’re asking me Taking full confession from Kyle Hospital Left for road kill (Siren) Part of me Are you asking for clemency? It’s not It’s not up to me It’s up to the facts And if you lie one time Deal breaker Well at least you crawled outta there Be very cruel You son of a bitch Red rose snot nosed kid Trying to do him a favor and he burns the whole house down with us in it oh Won’t get far without a car even if he looks like a badger John Waters is always protective He’s got plans for everything He’ll never confess he does what he does and it’s Up to us to appreciate it But I’m walking on all fours Not for him Being bipedal Flag’s half dead It’s disgusting Transfor- Ten thousand Little wings Buzzing transforming into electricity Generate energy Supply To half the people in the county And their very ability Of flies To the carcasses of turtles and tortoises when they die Yells Protect their insides The turtle meat The turtlectricity That’s the way things are in the road kill industry John Waters just wants to film it He doesn’t have an active roll He’s not a Active participant He just lets things happen in front of him That’s it But you gotta Sadistic ? He makes you crawl on all fours Not bipedalism Make yourself Start I’m worth it Just deteriorate and never ever grow back the same and He got an Emmy for one time shot In a campy film That may or may not even be good He might as well walk on both feet and just bitch slap the hell out of him fuck it ? I know He’s not mean enough to do that Worshipping the tortoise And the alligator The crocodile And the sharks Because they’ve been here so long is really infantile You Just because they’ve managed to last Millions and millions of years Doesn’t mean they’re smart And in control of things Might as well be worshipping a retarded human being I’m not gonna apologize That’s what happens ? Even if you walk on two feet John Waters may takes the best out of you He takes the best worst parts out of you And gets you to explore them In front of him and then You be you You be you the way he wants you to be I don’t know who she is Shallow grave Animal slaves lock the door so Kids from this Private school next door don’t know It’s not abandoned but They could come in And try to wreak havoc And you have to fight them Really hurt them When I die I’m gonna die on all fours Not for John Waters Live like the turtles Check bipedalism and long distance arriving and temperature variables Of the Earth that’s timeless Overwhelm me Cover me Refriger-me or f-f-f-freeze me in a dehydrated state Eleven Hundred CC brain Powerful than a motorcycle all alone Driving in the rain A hundred CC brain Eyes are in the front Don’t slow down Looking for a deer Low to the ground Milk is a natural Milk it does the body good Milk By 1100 CC brain trying to tell me that I need more Saturated fat and Calcium It’s not a symbol for mommas titty or Ejaculate Easy adaptability Anthropological domination of the entire animal kingdom John Waters Hands Face Hands Animal world and the human world in the living room of your time ? The funniness of it But not the importance The knowledge You have a 900 CC brain But it’s not your fault You were born that way Just give up By Bryan Lewis Saunders

I find this ongoing series of self portraits really interesting. I’m inspired by how he is able to express the fleeting experience of various substances.

My personal favorites shown below.

eine unglaublich gute, 90-minütige doku über den künstler bryan lewis saunders, den ich vorher noch nicht kannte. er dokumentiert mit seinen bildern verschiedene sinneszustände, experimentiert viel mit drogen, verbindet sich einen monat lang die augen und ist quasi blind, kommuniziert mit niemandem oder macht noch viel verrückteren shice.. und dokumentiert das alles mit selbstportraits und beschreibungen der jeweiligen zustände.

es könnte auch leicht triggernd sein, also isses evtl. auch nichts für allzu sanfte gemüter.

“... it encouraged him to further stay away from a dark life of crime and death. in fact in what would brian describe as an exorcism of his childhood fears and trauma. he would find relief in exploring such concepts within drawings and painting. he was now discovering new and countless ways of unloading his inner monolouge through either a way or a paintbrush. (...) art seemed to be the perfect answer to releasing all of his surpressed feelings and experiences. perhaps this perfect storm of a more positive surrounding and a chance to physicilazie his thoughts and experiences would be what would kickstart brians ambitious projects.”
