Sometimes you end up taking too much drugs and you stare at the sun until your eyes start tearing puss. Nope, I can't say that's ever happened to me but I could really imagine. This illustration is notorious for initiating conversations about drug influences in my art. The truth is that I can only do these types of illustrations sober, there's just no way that I can concentrate otherwise. I actually need to be alone, quiet for the most part, and very relaxed.

I'm not strict on my defenses though, I can understand and accept how this would lead the general viewer to interpret it as some drug-induced hallucination and also, me calling it "Acid Sun" doesn't help either. It's just what I see and how I present it...maybe I'm high all the time and I don't know it. How did that saying go again? Oh yeah, "I'm just high on life!" No, that's definitely not me either. If anything, I think we're all overdosing on life. Where am I going with this again? Sorry I am too wasted to type right now.
