Create Art "Under the Influence" by Sundroplets

December 17th, 2008 1:36 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: Make any form of art under the influence of your choice!
Though being "high on life" is not acceptable, feel free to be creative. Provide photos (or whatever media is appropriate) of your artwork, and photos of you drinking/smoking etc.
If you collaborate, please, no peer pressure.

I recently flew from Oman via Dubai, Moscow to Milano to visit an artist friend of mine. What better time to task under the influence then when visiting your artist friend in Italy? Heck, I should get extra points just for having an artist friend in Italy don't you think? ;)
IMG_3414.JPG This a photo of Bolzano. A lovely town in Italy situated on the border of Austria.
IMG_3313.JPG This is the art kit I found (notice that the packaging is in German, as is most of the products in Bolzano. An interesting cultural note, Bolzano or Bozen as it is known in German, is bi-lingual.
IMG_3312.JPG These are the painting tools
IMG_3311.JPG These are the drinking tools. Not sure why I choose Mexican over Italian stuff. Oh well. (cultural side note: Where I currently live, buying alcohol requires that you apply for an official government license that costs about $150. This allows you to go to a warehouse and grotesquely over-priced stuff at a limited supply. So it was fun to even be able to buy something like this. It felt down-right naughty! ;)
IMG_3315.JPG I couldn't find limes, or even lemons for that matter, so we creatively decided to use lemon juice squirted into a mandarin. (I don't recommend it at your next tequila session by the way.)

IMG_3588.JPG Cheers!
IMG_3326.JPG Uh huh... tequila is evil, and I learned that after doing this 10 times in a row I'm pretty much useless. (and so was the dinner I consumed since it made a mass exit later in the evening..... I have a picture upon request... but I don't recommend it.)
IMG_3322.JPG This was my attempt at the Corona Dragon beer logo.
IMG_3333.JPG We then got the bright idea to start painting using body parts. Most of those pictures I have been sworn to never ever show. However, here is a picture of me using my lips as a paint brush.

This is the final product. I forgot the "N" in Firenze... I wrote these two city names I think because I met my friend in Florence originally. Now I just need to think of a more "artistic" reason for excluding the N other than I was under the influence of Tequila. ;)

This is the final product my friend painted. It is of the city of Bolzano, featuring the Musione to the right, the modern art museum where he works. However, I will mention that he painted most of it later in the week since he passed out pretty early in the evening. :)

This is the modern art museum featured in the painting, cool huh? It's worth a look at the link: http://www.bolzano.net/english/museum-modern-art.html

The current art exhibit of of Sonic Youth.

Can't... can't.... was threatened with torture mafia style.

However, try looking at the paintings and let your imagination fill in the rest. All I can say is that bright orange and green paint isn't that easy to get off some places. ;)

(you can't see me but I'm putting on my most innocent face here.)

I had never noticed that Coronas had dragons.
Body parts. My imagination. Yikes.

Your attempt to create a lemon out of lemon juice and a mandarin gets my vote.
