I don't know how I found his blog. I do know when I found it, I thought it was the most honest art I've ever seen on alcoholism. I couldn't keep my eyes off the crazed eyes drawn in the pictures. And how do I say it peeps - it simply speaks to me.
Check out the other blog here.
A good place to start, go check out a diary he drew... My Drinking Life
The artist's name is Parker Lanier.

Heart breaking. My mother was an alchoholic and refused to admit it, or to address it in any way. She had a major stroke and spent the next ten months in hospital and in residential care. She had been home less than 24 hours when she rang up the local store and arranged delivery of booze and cigarettes. Aaargh. She didn't live very long after she did get home, but I know that if she had we would have been back where we started. Alcoholism affects so many more people than the addict.
He lives near me;)
Amazing artist.. speaks to my PTSD over here. I paint eyes like that. Thank you so much for sharing.
Elephant's Child, the effects of alcoholism doesn't end even if the alcoholic dies. I am sorry about your mother.
It's a small world, this blogging world, Lou!
