The Art of Crack
They say that artists suffer for their art, and that once an artist is dead their art appreciates in value. Well, crack addicts die for their art to even exist. What you see here will never grace the walls of the Louvre in Paris, or the Metropolitan Gallery of Art.
What you see below is “crack art” drawn or painted not on expensive canvases, but on the feces, blood, and urine stained walls of dozens of crack dens. Rest assured, most of these artists are in fact dead or dying; they’ve paid your admission fee to this art gallery with their lives.
What I am showcasing here is a compilation I am calling a Crack Art Gallery – photos that I have personally taken over the years as a detective from multiple drug busts on various crack dens all around Montreal, Seattle, Vancouver, and beyond.
The subject matter of the art from coast to coast is eerily similar; one common vision of art amongst these “artists” is a common theme I refer to as the “Skull Death Head.”
You should know that many of these pieces of art were not painted with expensive paints or charcoal; many were done with bodily fluids, cigarette ash, and/or markers.
“Welcome to my world” as you see the very, very sad yet interesting images of dozens of photos I have collected over the years that I have witnessed as part of my daily profession.

the cop only took pictures, they’re not HIS.
f**k you’re stupid!
Only if I can inject it via sledgehammer into a dealers brain stem =)
Maybe one day we’ll have leaders and judges who tell the liars, sorry lawyers to stop twisting the law in favour of these scum and will finally cut them off at the knees.
After all that I forgot to comment on the art, I like it, it reminds me of stuff I used to draw(not chemically induced I might add), seriously it helps to remind people that behind the damaged veneer which the public see, there lies many gifts that are being, or have been destroyed, just so that some gutless sad scumbag can sit in comfort, no doubt some a*****e will be offended by my description because they or their daddy deals this s**t, but frankly f**k them.
Not as glamourous as some may think!
