Myopic Fair by *veinsofmercury is an amazing surreal work from a very talented artist. Wonderful use of colors and textures! (Suggested by =snowair and Featured by `cosmosue)
I find it interesting that you called it 'myopic fair'... Is it some sort of metaphor for life and the daily grind? How people get on a ride they don't really go on because the other option, here, represented by wandering through the desert, seems even harsher? What about the airplanes? Do they represent some sort of transcendence through this routine?
Just my thoughts...

Yeah, this one is a bit more based off a daily routine - somewhat getting caught up in everything that keeps you from the big perspective, kindof like tunnel vision. There are certain things in this one that are very subconscious I suppose...the idea of having to rise above everything to enjoy something [the ferris wheel]. The eye as the bearing [both vision & routine, watching cycles]. The ground as flesh, alive [foundation & support, growth], there's a ton of things in there - but what I really wanted to capture are people's intention to follow, just because its easier if an idea/thought is widely accepted. And how so much of a person's potential can be submersed in going with the grain.... I really sink myself into these pictures while I'm making them, I let myself live within them during the process / after this one I felt anxious...Its an inspirational one, to remember what makes us unique &....us.

I think all serious artists put some of themselves into thier work, I certainly can relate.
In a sense, it is very brave of you to submit works which are so personal to the public eye, and as an avid viewer, I'm glad you have.

thats amazing. I love how youve made the mouth appear fully formed until closer inspection when you notice the stairs become part of the jaw... amazing
There are a lot of themes that run through the stock gallery many people have similar ideas but they pull them off in different ways. In this series of newsletters we will look at similar ideas but different outcomes.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
