Obama sitting for his portrait. This is a 64 bit, 3D capture that samples epidermal quality information. The goal is to 3D-capture Obama and create a poly mesh and texture map so that oil painters can later access the file and insert any lighting from any angle while they paint.

9 drawings by an artist under the influence of LSD. He was sober while making this one.

85 minutes after first dose and 20 minutes after a second dose has been administered (50 micrograms each), The patient seems euphoric. "I can see you clearly, so clearly. This you--it's all... I'm having a little trouble controlling this pencil. It seems to want to keep going."

2 hours, 30 minutes after first dose. Patient appears very focus on the business of drawing. "Outlines seem normal, but very vivid... Everything is changing colour. My hand must follow the bold sweep of the lines. I feel as if my consciousness is situated in the part of my body that's now active... my hand, my elbow my tongue."

2 hours, 32 minutes after first dose. Patient seems gripped by his pad of paper. "I'm trying another drawing. The outlines of the model are normal, but now those of my drawing are not. The outline of my hand is going weird too. It's not a very good drawing is it? I give up... I'll try again."

2 hours, 35 minutes after first dose. Patient follows quickly with another drawing. "I'll do a drawing in one flourish without stopping one line, no break!" Upon completing the drawing the patient starts laughing, then becomes startled by something on the floor.

2 hours, 45 minutes after first dose. Patient tries to climb into activity box, and is generally agitated... responds slowly to the suggestion he might like to draw some more. He has become largely none verbal. "I am everything is changed they're calling your face interwoven who is" Patient mumbles inaudibly to a tune. He changes medium to tempera.

4 hours, 25 minutes after first dose. Patient retreated to the bunk, spending approximately 2 hours laying, waving his hands in the air. His return to the activity box is sudden and deliberate, changing media to pen and water colour. "This will be the best drawing, Like the first one, only better. If I'm not careful I'll lose control of my movements, but I won't, because I know. I know" This saying is then repeated many times. Patient makes the last half-a-dozen strokes of the drawing while running back and forth across the room.

5 hours, 45 minutes after first dose. Patient continues to move about the room, intersecting the space in complex variations. It's an hour and a half before he settles down to draw again... He appears over the effects of the drug. "I can feel my knees again, I think it's starting to wear off. This is a pretty good drawing... This pencil is mighty hard to hold." He is holding a crayon.

8 hours after first dose. Patient sits on bunk bed. He reports the intoxication has worn off except for the occasional distorting of our faces. We ask for a final drawing which he performs with little enthusiasm. "I have nothing to say about this last drawing, it is bad and uninteresting, I want to go home now."
