Surreal Eye Ball

Here is my art work:



Surreal art attempts to express the workings of the subconscious and is characterized by imagery and incongruous juxtaposition of subject matter.

An example of a surreal artist would be Max Ernst

Street Corner

My artwork:
Original photograph:
I know that I did not get too into detailed on my artwork, but I try to make it as best as I could to relate to the original photograph.  I added trees, the road, the ocean and even a cloud ^.^  I made the buildings look more like a building by I guess to say, added a shadow to the side of the building by making that square darker of the same color of the side of the building.  I try to get the trees into perspective as best as I could, but I found that task difficult and I could not find the way to match the trees to the perspective grid.

Inspired by....

Here is my art work
here is the original art work in which I based it on.  
I love pretty much all of the illustrations from the company Sanrio but Hello Kitty is the most known out of all of them.  The original creator of Hello Kitty is Yuko Shimizu.  Hello Kitty has become an icon in pop culture.  Hello Kitty is originated from Japan and became popular in america along with anime and some fashions. ^.^

Music Project

song lyrics:
The sea is swells like a sore head
and the night it is aching
Two lovers lie with no sheets on their bed
and the day it is breaking

On rainy days we go swimming out
on rainy days, swimming in the sound
On rainy days we go swimming out

You're in my mind all of the time
I know that's not enough
if the sky can crack
there must be some way back
for love and only love

Car alarm and back to sleep
you kept awake dreaming some else's dream
coffee is cold, but it will get you through
compromise, there's nothing new to you
let's see colours that have never been seen
let's go to places no one else has been

You're in my mind all of the time
I know that's not enough
if the sky can crack
there must be some way back
to love and only love

Electrical Storm
Electrical Storm
Electrical Storm
Baby don't cry

It's hot as hell, honey in this room
sure hope the weather will break soon
the air is heavy, heavy as a truck
hope the rain will wash away our bad luck

heeeey... heeeey.....

If the sky can crack, there must be some way back
for love and only love

Electrical Storm
Electrical Storm
Electrical Storm

Baby don't cry
Baby don't cry
Baby don't cry
Baby don't cry
