Get High Now is non-fiction (read: real) book with many many ways to induce alternative states of mind without drugs. It’s a small, two-color paperback -but packed with funny, odd and fascinating techniques. I wrote more about it here.
Basically Get High Now has meditative highs, stimulants, calming highs, things to eat, ways to breathe… So as a result the illustrations had to meet diverse needs. They include commissioned illustrations, patterns and stock imagery.
I’m happy with how colorful and accessible it looks despite being somewhat dense and only two colors. And I love the illustrations by Nancy Chan who worked with Sumi-e inks from photographs.
It’s a pretty funny and far out book in a non-stoner/hippy way. The Get High Now website features a pretty cool iPhone app based on some of the highs in the book.
