COCAINE REALITY

The painting above is Cocaine by Brisbane artist Mitchell Foley. Here's a description:

Painted in six layers, Cocaine is representative of how the drug cocaine washes over reality with its own layers and influence to create what is perceived as a new, fast paced and delicately detailed reality, often with pleasant accentuations for the individual.

Foley's cocaine reality won't be quite so pleasant:

A Brisbane artist who painted a series of works titled The Cocaine Series has been jailed for 10 years for importing the illicit drug.

Mitchell Lee Foley, 50, today pleaded guilty in the Supreme Court in Brisbane to nine charges of importing just over 400 grams of pure cocaine.

The court heard the drugs were concealed in religious books, which were sent from South America to post office boxes in Brisbane and Sydney where they were collected by Foley.

Justice Kenneth Mackenzie recommended parole be considered after three-and-half years in custody.

Foley can keep his skills sharp by doing jailhouse tattoos. Idiot.
