Iβm a fan of Salvador Dali and this reminds me of some of his work. I like it a lot!

Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

Lovely
Hauntings?
These objects can make me feel a sense of dread when I think of them, for various reasons. Do you have anything you feel haunts you, that would you put in the picture?
Interesting. Can't think of anything I feel that way about off-hand, but I'll ponder it.
Nail clippers. Single socks.
I like your art. I noticed you had a battery in a self portrait too. Care to elaborate?
Nail clippers is a good one! And I often say the thought of sorting socks instantly puts me in a state of dread, whenever people comment on my wearing odd ones.
Explaining my stuff is probably less interesting than finding out what has you interested in the batteries, what's going on there?
If you'd settle for some rando thoughts instead of explanation: My parents had a junk drawer for all the dead ones. I'm not so careful, mine are strewn about bags and drawers. I like to have distance between them, not sure why, I doubt it makes it less likely for accidental mishaps. I keep thinking I should take them for recycling when I see one, but then I should find all the others too, but I don't keep track of what is where. I work in electronics and embedded systems, batteries can make my job harder, I avoid using them when I can. But I also did a unit on battery management systems and cell design in university, pretty cool things. I remember opening up some childhood devices, with those old alkalines that weren't designed well for undervoltage conditions maybe, or perhaps the battery cells themselves weren't insulated well enough? The casing was eventually partially eaten by the internal reaction that is always going on in there. The leak was kind of unnerving, it looked like a lichen but for some metal contraption. Parasitic things that grow off other things freak me out in biology, this reaction was pretty simple chemistry in comparison to the horrors of biological things, why is my stupid primate brain unnerved by it?
I just noticed the theme from your krita self portrait and wondered how it might be haunting. But it's really clear now, for sure. Maybe it is the humidity that causes that? I live in very humid areas and you must remove batteries if the device is not used for a while. These days, every once in a while pick up some object hoping I haven't left batteries in it. I managed to collect probably 6 graphing calculators that I have no use for anymore -- I use computers to do the graphing now -- but somehow I still remember how expensive it was when I first bought them. And a label maker that definitely doesn't work anymore because the batteries leaked, but I still packed and carried with me on a move just in case.
My kind of drawing.
I love the ladybird and eucalyptus flowers.
Thanks, I'm glad I got them to something recognisable!
