Surrealist Ink Blots

Surrealist games can be used in art production.

From using a process similar to inkblots which have been draw on after the ink has dried. Through the randomness of the inkblots the artist can create images that he/she sees in the chaos.

These artworks are made by Florian Nicolle (aka neo). This artist is a 24 year old graphic designer and illustrator from France.
Nicolle has had clients such as the Los Angeles Times and ESPN classic.

She uses a computer to create these images, programs such as Photoshop and Illustrator allow this.

While stumbling on the internet I was able to find this artist at this web address. If you do go onto this page you can see a step by step instruction on how to create images like this. It is possible to use these instructions for physical painting/drawing, as well as digital.

Florian Nicolle thinks extensively of every choice she makes on top of the blots and splatters. This image of Michael Jackson is created on white splatter with pencil, chinese ink, watercolor ink, details added in photoshop, then finally Billie Jean lyrics incorporated into the forehead of Jackson.



Below is a video time lapse of how another artist creates an image out of ink blots. Again this image was created in Photoshop, however the same process can be created with pen and paper.
