The Images in my HEAD, that can't be photographed:
Not all images I have in my head can be photographed, so I am resorting to put them on Bristol board with dry media (mostly Prismacolor) or acrylic on canvas. "The Optimist" by udor (2011), Category: Surrealism, Drymedia on Bristol board, 14 x 17 inches (It is not varnished or mounted yet.) I have some more on facebook UdoR Fotografie as wall posts... Just sharing... and I don't mind if you don't like them! EDIT: You can see more at ArtSlant.com. Nov 18 11 12:11 pm Link Reminds me a little of Cyriak... but he's a video editor, not so much a traditional artist. Nov 18 11 12:45 pm Link This is sort of a Dali/Miro. LOVE it! Nov 18 11 01:03 pm Link CottonCandie wrote: Very cool! Nov 18 11 01:48 pm Link ooo thats cool! Anytime I think of surrealism my mind instantly goes to Salvador Dali... This is actually not too far off, like Barbara said. Very nice work. and the ladder in the clouds reminded me of that scene in "The Truman Show" twoards the end... Nov 18 11 01:50 pm Link I love these! Have you ever considered selling your work? These would sell for big money. Nov 18 11 01:55 pm Link Barbara DivaEroticus wrote: Thank you very much! Nov 18 11 02:22 pm Link udor wrote: Magritte...yes, he's the one with the apple picture. Very surrealistic, and that's actually a better comparison than Miro. Dali/Magritte it is! Nov 18 11 02:36 pm Link Kymlee wrote: Thanks Kymlee! Nov 18 11 03:49 pm Link Thats awesome! Very Magritte indeed. He's one of my favorite artists.

Almost exactly like your photo, but replace the ladder with stairs... Nov 18 11 04:19 pm Link The ladder in the picture reminded me of a joke. This guy dies and finds himself in a room that has nothing but a ladder that goes through the ceiling, so he climbs the ladder. When he gets to the next level, there is an average looking woman without a stitch of clothing on. She says "you can stay here with me for all eternity or you can climb the ladder to success". He climbs the ladder. When he gets to the next level, there is a nice looking woman there who says the same. He climbs the ladder. When he gets to the next level, there is an absolute knock out who could've posed for Playboy's centerfold. She says the same thing ... you can stay here with me for all eternity or you can climb the ladder to success. He climbs the ladder. When he gets to the next level, there is no ladder to another level and the door slams shut behind him. He sees this big, greasy looking joker who has the worst smell he could possibly imagine. The big, greasy guy looks at him and says ... "Hi ... I'm Cess". Nov 18 11 04:52 pm Link Damon Strong wrote: Honestly, yes... BUT... not now. I have had several offers over the past year or two, but I dutifully declined. Nov 18 11 05:58 pm Link YvonneEmilie wrote: It seems that I can say that of you too (after visiting your port)... Nov 18 11 07:45 pm Link Super! Nov 18 11 07:47 pm Link The topic reminds me of something Jimi Hendrix said about not being able to play the music in his head. His recordings were mere approximations of what he could hear. Nov 18 11 07:56 pm Link I am impressed Although I have seen Dali's surreal work I do not immediately relate everything surreal to him, since I grew up playing surreal video games Nov 18 11 08:42 pm Link R A V E N D R I V E wrote: Your sentence, Sir, appears to be in the surrealistic realm itself!

Nov 19 11 12:01 am Link Here is one, which is more of an illustration from earlier this year (also, neither varnished or mounted yet) and, although the meaning is different, it also fits perfectly into the "Occupy Wall Street" movement: "Prostitutes" by udor (2011), Category: Social Criticism, Drymedia on Bristol Board, 14 x 17 inches Nov 19 11 06:36 am Link Very nice, I love surrealism!

You can see only him and the street hooker... nobody else can be seen... and the title is "plural"..., so the banker too is a prostitute. Nov 19 11 02:03 pm Link udor wrote: Noted. But what if the paycheck was the dream? Nov 19 11 02:05 pm Link Daniel wrote: Then he wouldn't be a prostitute... duh! Nov 19 11 02:08 pm Link I had read you are a surrealist painter also and was hoping to see some of your work. Thank you for posting. I am a fan of surrealism and love Dali and many others. I really like your work and style; it is reminiscent of Magritte. BTW, I have more respect for the female in your last work than the male. Nov 19 11 04:48 pm Link BlueMoonPics wrote: Thank you!

Nov 20 11 08:24 am Link Very nice work:) Here's Robert Crumb's take on what's going on in his head ~ Nov 20 11 08:43 am Link Your first one evokes Magritte, I think, simply because of the cloud and sky background. Nothing else about it really reminds me of him. Nov 20 11 09:20 am Link Jules NYC wrote: Thanks Jules! Nov 20 11 11:54 am Link Yeah I dig it for sure. Nov 20 11 02:06 pm Link |
