Lennon Psychedelic Sketches Found
    #7767877 - 12/16/07 11:17 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

anyone know if these are available on the web somewhere? They were rediscovered recently by his tripping buddy and sold for $200,000. I'd like to see them!

Below is part of the article Lennon Psychedelic Sketches Found

Quote:

"I can’t believe it - most of John’s drawings are frightful," said Mr. Dunbar.

The journey of Lennon and Dunbar to Ireland typified the surreal adventures of the Beatles and the rock aristocracy in the late Sixties. Mr. Dunbar recalls that Lennon had spotted a newspaper advertisement for "an island off Ireland" being sold for £1,000. While attending one of the decade’s notorious psychedelic "happenings," the "24 Hour Technicolour Dream" party at Alexandra Palace, north London, Lennon determined to buy it. "It was something to do" explained Mr. Dunbar.

They flew to Dublin the following morning, from where they travelled across Ireland in a black limousine to Clew Bay on the west coast. There they hired a boat to Dornish Beg - the tiny hummock sticking out of the Atlantic that had caught Lennon’s fancy.

But the journey was warped by copious consumption of LSD, and the increasingly chaotic nature of the drawings chart the singer’s mental disintegration. The men had started taking the drug at the Technicolour Dream party, said Dunbar, and continued without a break for four or five days.

"I had taken it first as early as 1963 - whereas John had only recently started, so I think he was probably more affected by it. The island was more like a couple of small hills joined by a gravelly bar with a cottage on it," said Dunbar. "When we got there, John sat down and started drawing."

Apart from one Dante-esque drawing covering two pages which features hollowed eyes, ghoulish faces and fat nude females in an incoherent scrawl of lines and squiggles, Lennon drew up architectural plans of a large octagonal tower or lighthouse on the island in which he wanted to live.
