Description People sometimes ask why I'm so interested in Surrealism when most of my works are photorealism or portraiture. It's takes a strong mind to show ideas and concepts through the limitless world of surrealism, and I usually get lost in the freedom. I admire the works of people like IamWhoIWasNot and A Neon Devil Breath . Surrealism takes a step from traditional thinking and provides a look into the mind creating art with no visual representation.

I'm guessing your girlfriend either studies or likes surrealism? It's always been one of my favorites, which I find kinda humorous because my two favorite styles are realism/portraiture and surreal which are on opposite ends of the spectrum.

erm... none of the above. XD she's just a very artistic, creative soul. she's wonderful at surreal works - dynamic. she's also like that... she just creeps and crawls through the artistic realm. she can paint, draw, whatever... anything - faces, figures, surrealism, psychedelic artwork... it's amazing. anyways... lol. erm... happy new year, haha.

Holy shit man. That's some of the coolest shit I've ever seen! Would you mind if
I printed out a copy of it and painted it with watercolor, just for the hell of it?
Peace

Of course I wouldn't mind chica. Have fun with it; I'd like to see what you can come up with.

It's a good example of surrealism. It has a great flow and we can follow through teeth and eyes, hands and faces, masks and skulls, until we find a way out... or find a way in. What an awesome picture. Your skills in composition and design are equal to your considerable imagination. This is just cool.

I'm really glad you like the piece. Surrealism is something I've always admired and has helped my mind see things in another perspective.

Sorry it took me a while to respond, but I just got done moving.

I'm glad you like it chica. I finally got the time to finish something; I started just drawing during my lunch break. All of my co-workers think I'm crazy, but I got to finish it.

You tell 'em! Surrealists are far more deep and imaginative! I love them!

Great picture here!

Sometimes the works they come up with completely open my mind to new concepts and ideas. You never know what a surrealist will use to promote a point.

That, in my opinion, is the reason they are so much more interesting than some!

Thank you very much chica! I like the numerous tonal pictures in your gallery where the color is what brings the picture together, I also like the random guitars. I'm a guitarist myself so it's kool just to see them in random places.

Thank you chico. I'm glad you like it and that I was actually able to finish a surreal picture and post it this time. I know I've looked at your gallery before but I never noticed the scorpion, that picture is awesome.
