I've always been a devoted fan of surrealist art, and I have 20k lying around. I know that PPT has some very devoted artists and handy graphic makers, so I thought this would be a lovely idea.


What is surrealism?
Surrealism is "A 20th-century literary and artistic movement that attempts to express the workings of the subconscious by fantastic imagery and incongruous juxtaposition of subject matter." Whoosywhatty? Okay, in really simple terms, surrealism is something that looks real but doesn't make any sense. Like Salvador Dali's melting clocks, or a picture of an upside down cherry tree growing in the middle of a highway while it's raining oranges. It's pretty dream-like and abstract. Click here for some examples, BUT DO NOT COPY ANYBODY ELSE'S WORK.


Judges

ME!


How do I make my entry?
To enter, you may either draw your piece by hand, or if you can't draw to save your life, you can edit photos to suit your needs.


Rules
-ALL WORK MUST BE YOUR WORK.

-If you are using photos instead of drawing, you MUST provide a link to each of the original images you used.

-It has to be surrealism, people. If you try to enter a picture of Inuyasha and throw a flying pig in the background to try and pass it off as surrealism, I will shoot you in the face and feed your remains to mutated lab rats. I mean it.

-You MAY enter more than once, but only up to three times.

-You can only win one placing. Don't even think of trying to snag 1st, 2nd, AND 3rd! You greedy person, you!

-Arguing with the judges can result in the loss of limbs, and considerable damage to your personal property. Don't do it.

Prizes
1st- 15k
2nd- 10k
3rd- 5k

Deadline
This is going to be a lot of work, so I'll give you little dahlings a LONG time. You have until July 10th to complete your piece. Judging will be done then.


Entries
None yet! Post them in the thread, guys.

Surrealism is fun, we discussed it in art class I'll enter!
Just one little thing... shouldn't this be in the Art section? Not backseat-modding, just wondering

Fair point. *uses super duper mod powers to magically move the thread*

You saw nothing...

Surrealism. Wow. This is going to be a real test in creativity. *puts the thinking cap on*

Oh, wait. Wrong cap.

*puts the anti-thinking cap on*

I am totally entering. If I still had access to my Language Arts classroom, I could find a very surreal picture that looks kinda like...


...well actually it looks more like Edgar Allen Poe than Erik, I'm just a nutcase.

So anyway, I'll enter.

Evisceration is a sign of respect.

Aww. I was looking forward to seeing you enter.

You really don't want to argue with this judge, either. She has claws.

Aww man, I've been studying surrealism for the past few months in my Visual Arts class.

Unfortunately I have two major artworks to finish off... *mutters to self about stupid school deadlines*

I'd enter, but apparently, I've just been beaten with a stick and now my arms are broken.
