Cloud / Cephalopod: an art challuunge submission.

Here is my art challuunge submission for this week’s words: CLOUD / CEPHALOPOD.  Not unlike most days of every week, I was inspired to do up a fictional heavy metal band’s album cover.  It’s kind of a running theme with me, but hey… I dig doing them.  The main inspiration came from viewing and listening to this web site for an entire day last week: http://mapofmetal.com/

Why not head over to the old art challuunge blog and vote on your favorite?  It doesn’t hurt at all and kinda makes you feel like you have virtually done something that matters… and it really does matter… at least to those artists throwing in every week.

…And here it is as if it were a real book:

Salvador Dali inspired Disney animation… cool.

This is pretty amazing stuff… I love how the Dali inspired art comes to life. 

Plot:

To a song of love lost and rediscovered, a woman sees and undergoes surreal transformations. Her lover's face melts off, she dons a dress from the shadow of a bell and becomes a dandelion, ants crawl out of a hand and become Frenchmen riding bicycles. Not to mention the turtles with faces on their backs that collide to form a ballerina, or the bizarre baseball game. From the melting clocks and hourglass sand, to the figure rendered in strips, to the character covered in eyeballs, the style and themes of Dalí are clearly recognizable throughout.

This person said it best on IMDB:

“The Dali fan will find countless images from his paintings, brought to life and presented in a graceful, dreamlike world. Images meld one into another in a way that Dali was not able to utilize in still art. He might give the *impression* of transformation, but in Destino, you see it come to pass. It is an airy cruise through melancholy, romance, and longing. For me it was most thought-provoking, but not heavy or depressing. Definitely recommended!”  -http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0377770/

My only complaint is the music.  I feel that this would have served as a better soundtrack:

I may take on the project of merging these two sometime… In the meantime, here is a rare photo of Salvador Dali:
