Title: Spenner's Surrealism/Expressionism
Post by: Spenner on March 11, 2010, 03:21:31 PM
Prepare to be weirded out-- but keep an open mind :P
Most of these drawings were done when I was quite depressed-- you may or may not be able to tell.
Basically all I do for these is relax and listen to music, feeling tonal variation in music, and I shade accordingly. When it's done I find myself almost always bewildered with what I come up with.

The order of these go from awhile back to sorta recently (last one was about a month ago). I've got a bunch more I've made since then, and I plan to update.
What think?

Oh wow! I love how you create texture and the shading is just beautiful! The perspective is amazing, and the images sometimes form an image that can be seen, or perceived depending on who is looking, or create nothing more than a mood, which was really awesome to see. You seem to use lots of eyes =D Which is really awesome.
I really like seeing your art, you should keep posting it up!!

You're right, I actually listened to his ambient works for the majority of these ones, with a bit of Boards of Canada :3
And thanks Addy, that's pretty much exactly what I aim to project with these kinds of drawings :) I'll be sure to post more of these soon [cowb]

[cmon2] gladly accepted.
Hehe, mind elaborating on how it relates to "the good ol' days"? Just curious :P
Also I have a few more I'll snap some pics of soon.

Hmm... I just may. I've explored doing similar style with painting in some ways, but only once and it wasn't the greatest in that sense [drool]

He could use a lot of thinks to do more with it, maybe try watercolors, oil pastels, chalk pastels, or various inking methods =D

Oh yes, once this summer rolls around I'm going to be expanding all of the good ones with other mediums :]
And this one's my personal favourite doodle so far, I think, because it's cool [music] (http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs429.snc3/24744_386115989029_811769029_3832050_1508510_n.jpg)
I'm starting to become gradually more representational in my work, as you can probably tell. Some bugs, and like always, human figures and eyeballs and metal and water :P but yes, starting to make things resemble real life objects a teenie bit better :l

Hehe, I have an album by them but I wasn't listening to them at the time :P Boards of Canada will make me automatically visualize that kinda shiz as well, which is what I generally listen to when drawing.

I like them, along with Apparat, Autechre, Trentemoller, Animals On Wheels, and Modeselektor

Those are so amazing! I really love your shading
I bet you'd be awesome at drawing cells, and microscopic organisms =o
Or like... muscles and stuff... You'd be good at drawing raw muscle, because of the strenuous pull of the fiber-like cells, and the way you already draw; texture and all that stuffs :>
