Recently I've become a big fan of sewerslvt. If I understand correctly this is a character sometimes the music alludes to. If you like atmospheric dnb/techno, definitely check out @sewerslvt! #nosnakesallowed #oliverxuart #macabre #surrealism #art #illustration #surrealart #drawing #darkaesthetic #lowbrow #acidtrip #grunge #gothic #instaart #artistoninstagram #instagramartist #illustragram #illustratorsofinstagram #abstractart #makearteveryday #artsy #contemporaryart #sewerslvt (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-7pjPAhQ9V/?igshid=otrkyslzzmqy

I always find myself "getting back into stuff". This is because I have bipolar disorder. Anyways prime always tell me to be myself. But everytime that I don't, I get rewarded. So what the fuck?? #nosnakesallowed #oliverxuart #macabre #surrealism #art #illustration #surrealart #drawing #darkaesthetic #lowbrow #acidtrip #grunge #gothic #instaart #artistoninstagram #instagramartist #illustragram #illustratorsofinstagram #abstractart #makearteveryday #artsy #contemporaryart #artlife #practice (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-3dAQCBEQA/?igshid=fl1vpjgs715l

First image is from Dali's "Tempation of St Anthony". Second image is from 2013, and last is from 2018. As you can see, Dali remains as one of my biggest influences throughout the years. #nosnakesallowed #oliverxuart #macabre #surrealism #art #illustration #surrealart #drawing #darkaesthetic #lowbrow #acidtrip #grunge #gothic #instaart #artistoninstagram #instagramartist #illustragram #illustratorsofinstagram #abstractart #makearteveryday #artsy #contemporaryart #artlife #practice https://www.instagram.com/p/B8e6ptGBufS/?igshid=1fo2e6rpcvp05

This is called automatic drawing, where you just draw whatever.
