Robert Lambrechts - High Art: Discovering Creativity While Under the Influence

Acknowledgments

Special thank you to the following people, without whose help this ludicrous idea wouldnt have become a book:

Andre Bittar. Im pretty sure when Andre, Estefanio, and myself talked about this book we all assumed it was a joke. Well the joke was on us when we had to find all the art, write, and design the whole damn thing. As a result Andre may be the only Brazilian with an in-depth understanding of U.S. fair use copyright laws.

John Kent. If youre in Nevada and need a cannabis recommendation hes your guy, look for him at the Torus Family and Dream Wellness.

Owen Bly

Camara Price

Katherine Alders

PJ Pereira and Andrew ODell

The incredibly talented team at Clarkson Potter: Marysarah Quinn, Abby Oladipo, and Kelli Tokos.

And Angelin Borsics. One day shell be able to sail her boat far enough away to never have to work with people like me ever again. Until then, shell just have to continue to be a fantastic editor and partner.

Robert Lambrechts works in advertising and would be grateful if you didnt hold that against him. When not working or writing, he spends his time in Northern California where he enjoys tormenting his wife and kids with the band Rush.

Estefanio Holtz is a creative based in Brooklyn, NY, who is passionate about great concepts and the stunning visuals that make them remarkable. Originally from Brazil, he spends his time working in advertising and on some side projects and collabing on books and music videos. If a scatterbrained individual bumps into you around Greenpoint, that could be him pondering his next project.
