As Canadian animator Jean-Francois Painchaud aka SuperPhazed posted his thrumming-rainbow-sex animations on social media, they would (unsurprisingly) survive for a bit then get taken down. Then, Facebook banned several illustrations at once and the move gained him thousands of followers via his tumblr. In an interview with VICE Colombia he said, “Whenever they take down my art or censor me, I make a big deal out of it, hoping that we might be able to change this culture of incessant censoring over time.”
Also unsurprisingly, he lists psychedelics as an influence, saying, “I feel that both psychedelics and sex can help you transcend your ego and tap into a purer state of being – of living in the moment.” Taking mushrooms affected his art but also helped him work through depression and anxiety.

Artist Kim Simonsson unveils his exhibition “Moss People” at Jason Jacques Gallery in New York. In his art, Kim depicts strange children accompanied with forest animals like fawns and rabbits. These ceramic sculptures straight out of a fairy tale catch our attention with their monochromatic white and green colors, as if they were covered with moss.Artist Kim Simonsson unveils his exhibition “Moss People” at Jason Jacques Gallery in New York.

‘A magical display of the problem of life in the labyrinth of time.’
After last week’s discovery of Salvador Dalí’s little-known 1969 Alice in Wonderland illustrations, I followed the rabbit hole to another confluence of creative culture titans. In 1945, Dalí and Walt Disney embarked upon a formidable collaboration — to create a six-minute sequence combining animation with live dancers, in the process inventing a new animation technique inspired by Freud’s work of Freud on the unconscious mind and the hidden images with double meaning. The film, titled Destino, tells the tragic love story of Chronos, the personification of time, who falls in love with a mortal woman as the two float across the surrealist landscapes of Dalí’s paintings. The poetic, wordless animation features a score by Mexican composer Armando Dominguez performed by Dora Luz.
As fascinating as the film itself is the juxtaposition of the two creative geniuses behind it, each bringing his own life-lens to the project — Dalí described the film as “A magical display of the problem of life in the labyrinth of time” and Disney called it “A simple story about a young girl in search of true love.” Source:mentalfloss
