I've decided to start at last drawing out roughs for alternative images for the Guardian. I might make this a weekly project...could speed it up into a next day thing. Anyway, this weeks article is titled 'how to be high'. I'll include some of the extract...
Feeling up or down is largely due to our relationship with the great and ancient god of gravity, once space travel becomes the norm, it will be inadvisable for the depressed to travel to large planets because their hearts will feel even heavier. A breath of fresh air always makes you feel slightly better because it increases your natural buoyancy. Sighing, on the other hand, is nature's way of discharging your ballast tanks like a submarine to make you sink lower. we all carry the world on our shoulders: it's called our head and it, too, is round, continually turning and teeming with life. when you've got the world on your shoulders, just be glad it's not on your foot. Drug taking is another way of getting as high as a kite. Kite flying itself is equally effective, with similar ups and downs but markedly less long term paranoia....
