I Made Illustrations Using Elements Of Surrealism, Visual Metaphor, And Juxtaposition
This Inktober, I created illustrations on quotes based on the official prompt of the day. I tried to infuse surrealism, often placing unrelated objects together. Also, there are references to famous paintings and elements of pop culture. I first draw with ink on paper and later color the sketches digitally.

Thanks! And yes, miles to go before I sleep
Load More Replies...Your artwork is unique and I enjoyed your post. As an introvert, the quote by John Shedd (“A ship in harbor is safe – but that is not what ships are built for.”) has been one of my favorites.
Hey, thanks for the appreciation! And yes, that quote resonates with me too (I also identify myself as an introvert)
