Familiar Amnesia

Description

My last piece completed in 2012 (just an hour short of midnight). I'm truly hoping this isn't the last surreal image that I share, though. If 2013 is kind....

Anyway, this one probably took the longest of my recent endeavors, as I suppose you could say I was practicing my patience -- and that being said, I racked up about 6 hours of total time spent fiddling around. I suffer from momentary blindness when I get too caught up in this kind of art...:'| Creating is hard on the eyes.

As far as what was going through my head, I did this over the course of the 3 days so my mood changed quite a bit throughout the whole process. I'm still fixated on the "patterns" I see in life, so I like to reflect those as best I can in these images. My familiarity with people, ideas, and total nonsense. Influence, forgetfulness, deja vu....etc. My mind gradually hurled it into my 11"x14" sketchbook via my hand and a wonderful pen (Inc. Forma 0.7 ... cheaaaaaaaap black ballpoint that's pretty true to the color black).

Happy New Year to all from the gal who likes to draw during holidays.:') May 2013 bring the potential for the best~

(better quality photo soooooooonish)
God, I love triangles.

I am absolutely astonished at how much is actually going on in this image, the pixelated flashes of realism in contrast to the surreal imagery of the sun rising over the sand dunes in the desert as well as the strange repeating hallway area in the top area all collide together spectacularly in combination with the the classic surrealist bold lined optical illusion parts and the row of strange shiny spheres.

Its easy to see that a drawing like this is the beginning of a fantastic love affair with the arts, now I want to run to the store and pick me up a batch of tasty cherries!
