Description
Just a ballpoint doodle, started when I was bored at work, and finished up after dinner.Β You know, you just start drawing, and see what comes out...and then give it a title that will make people say "hmmm".Ballpoint and white gel pen on 9x12 toned paper.

hmmm
Maybe it could be about different living conditions in suburbs. Some people own their own nice little houses and the others are stuffed in huge houses with a lot of apartments and... and.. I'm not sure what else I can say but this drawing is mesmerizing. It reminds me of some scary fairy tale.

Much of surrealism is accidental, I believe...

Beautiful. So strange, so detailed. Having recently fled the suburbs after living most of my life there, I can sort of understand this in a bizarre way.Β

Thanks.Β Yeah I see it as a person being trapped in a box, but seemingly not too disturbed about it.Β Y'know, a little anxious, but still pretty comfortable.

I always wonder why the best drawings always came up when I'm bored at work too. It's like a law or somethingΒ Β
Anyway... hmmmΒ Β

I think if your mind is occupied with mundane and not very challenging thoughts or tasks, the rest of your brain feels free to go on flights of fancy..

Thanks.Β Yeah, I feel like there are lots of psychological subtexts here that I don't even know about.Β It's one of the cool things about surrealism or abstract art; because it's detached from reality, it's open to the viewer to attach meaning to it.Β It's like it's a different statement for each person..if they bother to spend time with it.

I don't know how I even passed half of my classes. I drew in my notebook instead of taking notes. One day my professor looked at my notebook and said "good notes" lol. Prior to sketching, i used to hate meetings. Now, i love meetings
