Bryan Lewis Saunders

I have decided to base my Animation  on Bryan Lewis Saunders
He has Been doing self portraits (atleast one a day) since March 30th 1995
To date he has over 8000 of them.All portraits are 8 1/2 '' X 11" and in hardbound books, which include different series titled: Anxiety, Yellow month, Nature, Drugs, Love and Pain.
I first discovered Bryan lewis Saunders When I was shown his Series Titled 'DRUGS'
Here is what he say about his series entitled 'Drugs''

''After experiencing drastic changes in my enviornment, I looked for other experiences that might profoundly affect my perception of the self. So I devised another experiment where every day I took a different drug and drew myself under the influence. Within weeks I became lethargic and suffered mild brain damage.Ia m still conducting this experiment buit over greater lapses of time. I only take drugs that are given to me.''
