I would like to see peoples heroin art. I have made a portrait painted with heroin and blood, the brush strokes not so much brush strokes but needle strokes. Anyone wanna guage what that would be worth to me, or as an auction item on ebay? Is it worth selling, or should it stay with me until the day I die?

Currently I am battling with PAWS and the odd chippy relapse, but nothing serious like many are going through. I am still an addict though, and it will take a while for me to step down from the throne and leave the holy grail behind. But it seems to me that any sort of relief such as art and music is much more worth than the rush we seek, as long as we can gather the strength to produce it. What we leave behind in this amazing world, the world we as junkies have chosen to condemn in many ways, is but a corpse for the vultures for those so lucky to be within their reach, blood clotted with fillers and diluted smack and an ill-nourished mind and body (of course we make an impact in many cases but more often than not we glide by unseen, comfortably numb in our own world). If we can leave behind something more, what will it be? Art, music, influence? Post the canvases that you reach out through.

got any pictures of the art?
 
Uh huh... aren't you going to run into an issue when you're selling something that's made partly of heroin?
 
I can't transfer pics right now... will do so asap. But then again it's a self-portrait, so am a bit reluctant... I guess I just wanted to air the idea that I had it and whether it would be possible to sell, and most of all, I am very keen to see a collection of heroin art in a single thread (doesn't exist as far as I know, although people have posted their general drug art).
 
Anybody watch Oddities? It's on the Science channel. Obscura is the name of their "Pawn-Shop-of-the-strange-beautiful-vile-exotic and rare.

Anyways, they had an episode where some dude was painting in his own blood. The paintings were much too dark for my taste, especially when the artist says he uses blood in order to paint with his soul. Nevertheless, some of his images were incredible, and I love the way blood develops into that almost rusty/sepia-toned look.
