"If you see a bus crash into someone’s front porch while a caged dog barks in the side yard, near a man in a business suit who is grilling hamburgers, you might call that a surreal image. Things that are surreal combine unrelated elements to create a bizarre scene."
That's the definition of surreal that I found on Vocabulary.com. It is also the theme of the current ATC swap at Michele's Little Bird Studio. What to do, what to do?
I've always loved phrenology head images and find them to be rather surreal, so I decided to start there, and used the Invoke Arts stamp. And I decided that the head exploding and releasing butterflies would do the trick.
I figured the back should be as surreal as the front, and I always like to refer to my home town and favorite city in the world, so I came up with this:
C'mon, Lady Liberty with my head on a platter, gotta love it.
I'm delivering my swaps to Michele today, and I look forward to seeing what I'll be getting in return.
