In fiction, an artist, be he a writer, musician, or painter, may be addicted to a drug. One of the conflicts in the work is usually the artist's struggle to escape the addiction. This was probably Truth in Television before it entered television, so it's probably just a stereotype that has come about from real-life artists using drugs. See also Mad Artist, Junkie Prophet, and (if only because it finishes off the triangle) Mad Oracle. An artist on prescription drugs might go the other way and decide No Medication for Me. Quirky Work is when viewers assume this of a particularly bizarre work. |

Most of the members of Metallica have struggled with alcoholism at some point, to the point where the band was nicknamed "Alcoholica" by some fans. In particular, Dave Mustaine, whose alcoholism and violent behaviour when he was drunk were the big factors in his being fired from the band, and James, who had to undergo rehab for his issues with it. After being fired from Metallica, Mustaine would found Megadeth, which had the same problem. |

Syd Barrett was a heavy user of LSD. Unfortunately in his case, this led to a permanent Creator Breakdown and his career as a musician was essentially over by the time he turned 25. Though according to Roger Waters, Syd was the only band member who was on anything harder than caffeine. Then again; The other Floyd Members did occasionally enjoy pot and alcohol. David Gilmour may have even dabbled with coke in The '80s. |

Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse. To say nothing of the rest of the band, he definitely used various drugs. And then they all sobered up and made Good News For People Who Love Bad News and We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank. The former is generally considered excellent (and quite bizarre), while the latter is generally considered merely very good and less bizarre (although some blame it on the change in drummer). Their earlier work is much different from those two releases, the influence of drugs is very clear on The Moon & Antarctica. Incidentally, Good News contained a song about... | |

Isaac Mendez in Heroes is this and/or a Junkie Prophet. He's perfectly capable of painting the future without heroin, but using the drug does sort of give him a boost to his power. Although when he discovered his powers, he was unaware he could paint the future without drugs. It was only after Eden McCain and HRG took him away and weaned him off heroin that he found out he could use his powers without, erm, "assistance". |

Resident Intellectual Paul Kinsey on Mad Men claims to get most of his ideas from "Mary Jane." The one time we actually get to see this in action (in Season 2), Peggy is the only one who actually comes up with anything. That entire plotline, especially the bit where she walks into the room and says, "My name is Peggy Olson and I'm here to smoke some marijuana." Later, in Season 5, the Creative team smokes so much weed in the middle of the office that people joke about it. Subverted to the point of Dark Comedy in an episode where the people in the office are forced to work over the weekend on an important account and a doctor gives them 'vitamin shots' to give them the energy they will need. The shots turn out to be speed and the office quickly descends into madness. People get injured, Harry has sex with an underage girl, very little actual work gets done and the creative output of the entire weekend ends up being mostly gibberish. |

24-Hour Party People. Happy Mondays, who start as an ecstasy fueled dance band, and have a Descent into Addiction with heroin and later crack. From their inception, a man just called Bez is an inseparable part of the band, dancing and playing maracas on stage, and providing them with drugs off stage. | |

Hawkwind also spawned the Heavy Metal icons Motörhead. Motorhead being a slang term for an amphetamine addict. It's also worth mentioning Lemmy left Hawkwind to start Motorhead because he was arrested when customs mistook his speed for crystal meth. In Lemmy's own words, he was kicked out for "using the wrong drugs". |

In the backstory of Elementary, Sherlock was a recreational drug user who liked to use drugs to keep his mind focused when solving cases. However, one case became very personal to him and he started using more and more drugs in an attempt to solve it. This ended up having the opposite effect and his deductive skills took a nosedive. He was taken off the case and subsequently became a junkie. When the series starts, he has finally managed to get clean, and maintaining his sobriety is a big part of the show. | |

Taiji was The Alcoholic and on occasion The Stoner, and, as it became obvious, a stimulant addict to cocaine and the amphetamine-class stimulants. Both heavily influenced much of his solo work (especially the D.T.R. lyrics) and also ruined his life - spending money on alcohol and other drugs, and the side effects of them on his mental illnesses is what caused the Creator Breakdown from 1993-1998, and likely his drug use played a part in the airplane fight which put him in jail where he was killed. | |

X Japan was for much of The '80s and The '90s (and still is to some degree) the Japanese equivalent of Alcoholica. Everyone in the band except for vocalist Toshi (who Can't Hold His Liquor, which was and is for him a case of Blessed with Suck), was The Alcoholic or at the very least engaged in heavy alcohol abuse. As of The New '10s according to both's own words in interviews and similar, Pata is still an uncontrolled alcoholic who doesn't really care about not drinking and Yoshiki is an alcoholic using moderation management/harm reduction ordered by his doctor to some success but still occasionally going Off the Wagon, and Heath, Sugizo, and Toshi don't seem to have major, noticeable, documentable problems with alcohol or drugs, despite some rumors. That said, the band is one of the founding bands of Visual Kei, Yoshiki is a virtuoso pianist and one of the world's top drummers even outside his genre, at least before he sustained his injuries, and Pata is a literal Drunken Master on guitar whose skills, though underrated, are some of the best in Visual Kei. Both of the members of X Japan that died had major drug problems, including alcoholism: hide was The Alcoholic but around 1991 with the death of a relative, his drinking became even more intense, to the point that even Taiji and Pata expressed concern for his drinking. Unfortunately, no one's concern or attempts to help seemed to be effective (and plenty of people just did nothing or encouraged him, because his drinking and other drug use did feed his artistic output), and hide died from a drunken attempt at hanging himself in 1998. According to the coroner who examined his body, he had a level of alcohol that was approaching lethal alcohol poisoning in and of itself, along with methamphetamine. Taiji was The Alcoholic and on occasion The Stoner, and, as it became obvious, a stimulant addict to cocaine and the amphetamine-class stimulants. Both heavily influenced much of his solo work (especially the D.T.R. lyrics) and also ruined his life - spending money on alcohol and other drugs, and the side effects of them on his mental illnesses is what caused the Creator Breakdown from 1993-1998, and likely his drug use played a part in the airplane fight which put him in jail where he was killed. |

Spoony was stoned on painkillers following major dental surgery for his review of the infamous E.T. game; this is noted in the review itself, as it was basically a challenge from fans who wanted to see what kind of video he would turn out while in extreme pain and high. Discussing it later, he admits he not only has no memory of filming the review, he has no idea how he got a specific shot that should've been impossible without more equipment or help, and he somehow did the editing work in a fraction of the time he usually takes. | |

One episode of Family Guy had Brian taking Adderall under the belief the energy it gave him made him a better writer. It isn't until he tries pitching what he wrote to George R.R. Martin that he realizes what he wrote was just a convoluted Cliché Storm, because as George tells him the drugs didn't make him write well, just a lot. "Deep Throats" had Peter and Lois smoking pot for "inspiration" for a talent show. What actually happens is that they get too stoned to write anything, let alone perform. |

The Smurfs (1981) episode "The Lure Of The Orb" has a magic orb that's supposed to give heightened inspiration to whoever touches it, but in reality only gives a temporary boost of energy that leaves the user drained and addicted to its power. Poet was the first to use the orb in order to complete his spring pageant poem, from which he was able to write pages of verses, but after he was freed from the effects of the orb, Poet read what he wrote and was astonished by how the quality of his writing had suffered because of the orb. (Other users of the orb — Painter, Harmony, Farmer, and Handy — also realized that the quality of their work had suffered because of their addiction to the orb's magic.) He ends up scrapping the overly-long drug-created poem and writes a very short poem about how to deal with his problems, taking no more than an hour to create it before the pageant starts. | |
