Silvery alien blobs in a desert; very Dali. Very Grant Morrison.
I liked it a lot so I saved it, you needn't thank me!

The feeling is mutual. I am not being a sycophant here - I feel like our styles come from similar places.
It'd be great to collaborate on something maybe some day.

I know what you mean! Wow.. what is that place?

I'd say my work is motivated by certain ideals about flow, pattern, aesthetics etc. and that it stems from a wanting to express these perfect, abstract mental concepts. It's like the forms I see in my imagination are metaphorical for my emotions.

Do you ever feel like you 'unlock hidden truths' about yourself when you make art?

Wrapto In reply to Odyssey8 [2015-08-20 19:59:54 +0000 UTC]

I see a lot of things in my dreams and my imagination that I want to try and portray. Feelings and emotions and concepts that can't exist elsewhere. If I can conceive of something, or see something in my mind's eye then I want to be able to draw it. Impossible shapes and spirals and objects that wouldn't work in reality, that sort of thing.

For me it's about having fun whilst you make something, and not necessarily trying to achieve something. Just trying things and seeing what feels right.

Good morrow fellow dundee dweller, loving your stuff. Your deviant ID reminds me of Clive Barkers work.

Thanks for saying so, I enjoy Barker quite a bit.

That tarantula inspired piece is great, are you posting more anytime soon?

Wrapto In reply to Sangria-Pig [2012-03-14 17:24:20 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I have only just begun posting today. My tumblr has more images at the moment than my dA, largely because I am still learning the ropes. Thank you for your kind words, I am glad you like it.

I don't even know what yumblr is but those first 2 images you've posted are great! I fancy I sometimes use a similar style but always much smaller. You have very awesome skills to be able to draw that stuff at A4 and such.
