So are they trying to tell me I dress like a drug-addict?

I’ve saw addicts that looked like these before. There are these kind of people out there…meth drugs do age you and change your total being. Call it what you want but the man has got a point that he has made and did damn good work on it. It shows the effect of drug and alcohol abuse and all that can come with it…including getting your ass whipped a time or two. A serious meth head that just got his/her ass beat by one or more peeps can look worse than this for a while. If you have never saw this with your own eyes then you may not have a clue. So all your negative comments are quit predictable and way off mark.

I had a friend that was hooked on meth she looked just like these photos and asked me all the time to remove the bugs out of her hair that were not really there . Ya’ll have never seen real life meth addicts have you ????? they are ugly with sores on their face from picking the bugs !!!!!

What a poorly executed project. Beyond highlighting a blatantly stereotypical difference in clothing, i.e. straight edge = well dressed vs. drug user = unkempt (which is just wholly untrue in a great deal of cases), they all look as if they’ve just gone a round with Mike Tyson. This is the kind of work I’d expect from a high school student, not a so called “professional”.

It depends on the type of drug, tbh, and how long you do it for. Those are pretty accurate for meth users. Some drugs, namely pills, someone could do for years and not look much different, whereas meth users don’t bother to keep themselves tidy, some end up homeless, they pick at their skin because it feels like bugs are crawling underneath them, and staying up for days while using causes hallucinations, so they could actually think bugs ARE LITERALLY crawling under their skin… and yes, ages them at a far greater pace. I’d say this is pretty accurate for meth and possibly crack users, although it would have been cool to see all different types of drug users represented!

love the comments.. its true though.. it just doesnt look real and but suggests it is real… nice idea that failed.. i like the idea of getting photos of users and after they get clean… that would work and be practicle… this looks like a TV add… production by someone who never saw a drug outside broadcast news

Pictures of models wearing makeup don’t really show the true effects of certain drugs. They’ve added under-eye bags and scars, but the facial structure is basically the same – no signs of malnourishment or deep tissue damage for example.

Faces of meth . Google it for some truly defining,real life stuff.
This is probably where the concept was taken from.
Total art school.
