Inspiration can be triggered by many things. For some, it’s the colors of changing seasons that stimulate creativity outbursts. For others, a 15-minute Pinterest scroll session might do the job.
However, there are always those inspiration seekers who choose to walk the line and experiment with alternative stimuli, such as psychedelics and other substances.
Even visionaries such as Thomas Edison and Steve Jobs relied on the effects of recreational drug use. (Just don’t start thinking that an occasional joint will turn you into a tech genius, k?)
One of such experimentalists is San Francisco-based graphic designer Brian Pollett, aka Pixel-Pusha, who went on a 20-day “binge” and created 20 illustrations while under the influence of different drugs.
“You can just focus on your existence in the present. The idea of tomorrow is laughable. I can create art without concern of outsider judgment, without over analyzing my process, and intuitively enjoy creating the most honest work.” says Brian Pollett.
