So I've been really into surrealistic art lately. I'm taking a beginner's art class for one of my electives in my new school, and to my amazement, I have discovered a hidden talent. My sketches are pretty good, my oil pastel paintings are okay, my colored pencil drawings are absolutely horrendous, but the one thing that makes me lose track of time is surrealism. Which, in my opinion, should be no surprise to me, due to my rather strange view on both tangible & intangible things, but for some peculiar reason, it is.My favorite artists in this field are Alex Pardee (whose painting can be seen at the left), Sarah Petruziello, Justin Meyers, & Laurie Lipton. I especially love Alex Pardee (who designs album artwork for bands like The Used & Aiden). His dripped watercolor designs are thought-provoking, profound, and interesting; they're morbid & strange, but without being vulgar or grotesque. I follow his blog, too. You should check it out.
So, what's new? I'm coming back for the summer, that should be fun... Nothing new in the family department. I guess that's pretty much it.
