My art challuunge this week…

Here is my submission for this week’s art challuunge.  The words were Beauty / Dark.  I kind of went for an old mystery novel look.  Let me know what you think.  You can click the pic to see a larger view.

…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:

I finished my 1st R-WAC card challuunge…

Here’s what you need to know: I have the Hearts suit in our art deck project.  This month is the “2” card.  The random word was FUTURE and here is my submission that I did with clay, a shoe box and a little painting in Photoshop .  Also this pic has none of the playing card stuff on it.  Dig.

A few more details… we over at the Weekly Art Challuunge website have created a new kind of art challuunge for ourselves.  It’s called the R-WAC Art Deck or also know as the R-WAC Card Challuunge.  4 artists; Andrew, Danny, Naoki & Wurm (me) were assigned a suit from a standard deck of playing cards.  Every month we each create a piece of art inspired by a single word selected at random. Progress shots will be posted weekly. At the end of the year we will have a complete deck of playing cards featuring 54 pieces of original art.

To check out the final final image that will appear in the deck of cards at the end of the year, it will be posted tomorrow morning.  In the meantime, here is the art:

Thanks Scott. One of the best tattoos ever!

It is no secret that I love tattoos.  It is also no secret that I love art, science and philosophy.  So this might come as a big shock but I love this tattoo... I only wish that someone else didn't have it, cuz I would totally get it... now if it only said music, sculpting and internet...
