Welcome to the art of Daftpixel! We are the NEXT generation of surreal art and metaphorical landscapes. This new series by the artist is titled “Dualisee”, the art of seeing double or two worlds at once. These hyper-detailed masterpieces and massive 3 point perspectives are developing slowly and methodically for you to enjoy! So much in the works the anticipation is intense. Needless to say the next few years are going to be BIG!
UPDATE 6/04/2013: Thanks for all your support for this new series. This summer is already going splendidly. Currently moving to my new studio and getting ready to paint again. “Killing Time” and “Flower Glass” at the bottom of this page are the next editions to print. Also we are currently working on elaborate commentary about all the characters and meaning behind each painting so you will have a direct connection to what the artist was thinking in their imagery. Expect those by the end of June.
Also we will be offering framed prints of everything here at our online store and shipped to your door. Maybe will open up shipping to Outside the US as Well. Thanks and Keep collecting ART!
