"Not a Pretty Picture"
The Journey of an Artist Unrestricted by Success
The Journey of an Artist Unrestricted by Success
Andre Breton, the founder of Surrealism, promoted automatic, or stream of consciousness writing. Using freudian methods of free association their poetry and prose drew upon the private world of the mind, traditionally restricted by reason and societal limitations, to produce surprising, unexpected imagery. I do stream of consciousness drawing, accepting the mistakes and awkward craftsmanship in each because the joy is in the surprise.
The drawings on this website are a mix of the drawings that were done during the time indicated in the journal and the stream of conscious drawings done in my later life when I began drawing in the surrealistic style and whose subject matches the story.
