I feel like such a gutter rat today.

Yves Tanguy, Exquisite Corpse, 1938
From the National Galleries of Scotland:
The Cadavre Exquis (Exquisite Corpse) was a favourite surrealist game from the mid-1920s onwards. It usually involved three or four participants who added to a drawing, collage or sentence, without seeing what the others had already done. This work is one of several made by Breton, his second wife Jacqueline Lamba, and Yves Tanguy, while on a weekend holiday together in February 1938. However, this piece might have been made collaboratively rather than by folding the paper to hide the previous contribution, since there are no fold lines on the paper.
I made a scary beastie that was designed in a game of consequences, or exquisite corpse, if you’re weird. He’s part sloth, part spider and part worm.

I’m enjoying Emory Allen’s An Exquisite Beast, a daily, and seemingly endless “exquisite corpse” style drawing.
