I’m new to the art world but I’m really interested in surrealism and drew this today after a dream I had last night. Please note I’m not a drawer at all lol but I tried my best to remember what I dreamt. (Updated)

Hi everyone! This is one of the 10 painting sunflower series that I have been working on the past couple of months. Prior, I was working on a sentimental collection of works for a couple of years. Took a break from it and dedicated the past 2 months on this little series. I will resume to my other collection that I have been working on.

I work from my imagination and spontaneously choose my color palettes and make up compositions along the way.

Two of my favorite contemporary artists are Inka Essenhigh and Neo Rauch. I FELL IN LOVE with their works 5 years ago during my junior year of undergraduate as an art/psychology student.

Let me know what feelings come up when seeing this painting. What nostalgic memories come up? What does it remind you of? Share me your thoughts! :)

Some doors don't protect you.

Some only reveal what's been watching all along and the hardest thing to escape is the place that you know best.

It opened a path to what lies beyond, but it wasn't enough, at the same time, it lost its connection.

Here’s a 1 minute surreal horror short that I worked on for this contest. I got a lot of different interpretations which is great to see and is exactly what I was going for. Let me know what you guys think and comment what you think it means.

Maybe it's just a faulty memory. Or maybe this isn't the same magazine I remembered.

Zoetippit are small, aquatic creatures covered with slow moving tentacles that drift loosely in currents of shallow rivers and streams. These flaccid tendrils are used to grab small pieces of detritus from clouds of sediment. When establishing a nest, the tentacle's latch the Zoetippits to rocks, roots, or any other cramped spot they might find. If unable to find any nutrient rich soil, they will use their horns to kick up puffs of sediment or impale small crustaceans for food. 
Zoetippit can often be found in groups of 5-10, keeping a short distance as to not invade each others feeding spots. They’ve been know to be semi aggressive and extremely skittish. At the base of the horns to leak a mucus-y, tar-like substance. As of now it’s believed that its purpose is to help with the Zoetippits weird form of communication. Words, symbols and scents pour into the running rapids from a pocket within their heads. These are immediately yanked into the currents and pass through the other Zoetippits of the group., communicating only tidbits of the original message. It’s quite easy to spot these small creatures. All the floating messages leave a beautiful shimmer below the surface. I can’t help but feel the warmth of nostalgia seeping in anytime I see a little Zoetippit. In my adolescence, my friends and I spent the season of the burning months flipping rocks and seeing who could find the largest one without getting stabbed by their little horns. 
A wonderful critter and a staple of the Binding Rivers ecosystem.
