Surrealist works feature the element of surprise, unexpected juxtapositions and non sequitur; however, many Surrealist artists and writers regard their work as an expression of the philosophical movement first and foremost, with the works being an artefact.

Surrealism is a cultural movement that began in the early 1920s, and is best known for its visual artworks and writings.

Surrealist works feature the element of surprise, unexpected juxtapositions and non sequitur; however, many Surrealist artists and writers regard their work as an expression of the philosophical movement first and foremost, with the works being an artefact. Leader André Breton was explicit in his assertion that Surrealism was above all a revolutionary movement.

Surrealism developed out of the Dada activities during World War I and the most important center of the movement was Paris. From the 1920s onward, the movement spread around the globe, eventually affecting the visual arts, literature, film, and music of many countries and languages, as well as political thought and practice, philosophy, and social theory.

My newest word prompt piece. "Circus."

Prismacolor pencils/markers, pencil, ink. The heads are cutouts with a square of thick paper glued underneath for depth. Thoughts?!

Major Danger: Trippin’ A Journey of Sorts

Hi everyone! I spent a year creating Major Danger: Trippin’ A Journey of Sorts, an animated movie inspired by surreal art and psychedelic experiences. It follows a character on a wild, emotional trip through bizarre worlds and encounters with strange creatures and a mysterious magician.

Would love for you to check it out and share your thoughts—this project was a labor of love!
