WELCOME TO AS IT STANDS.
Join me each day for news,opinions,and my column "AS IT STANDS," which runs in The Times-Standard, a daily newspaper in northern California. AS IT STANDS bridged the gap from print to digital by morphing into this blog in July of 2008. I'm a hybrid journalist - a combination of old and new school. Now,it's time for me to walk on down the road.
I couldn't paint anything during the few times I took LSD. The high completely knocked out any desire to paint because the visual imput was overwhelming. But look at what this artist produced AFTERWARDS attempting to reproduce a tiny fraction of the incredible psychedelic imagery some of us saw under the influence of LSD, peyote, etc. This painting was chosen by the curator for the De Young Museum to be hung in the S.F. Art Commission Gallery during the 1975 S.F multi-gallery Rainbow Show. "Ariel Lome"
Like it or not, some of the world's best works have been done under the influence of drugs. No one's faulting Arthur Conan Doyle we notice for being high on cocaine and cranking out all those Sherlock Holmes stories..

Pretty amazing really. That wasn't just any artist, whoever he was, the guy was pretty good really.
