Lowbrow art describes an underground visual art movement that arose in the LA, California area in the late 1970's. It is a populist art movement with its cultural roots in underground comix, punk music and hot-rod cultures of the street. It is also known by the name pop surrealism, and has a sense of humour- sometimes the humour is gleeful, sometimes impish, and sometimes it is a sarcastic comment. Lowbrow artworks tend to be paintings, however they can also be toys, digital art, and sculpture.
These are some Lowbrow pieces which I find most interesting.

I find illustration very interesting, this kind of unusual and creepy style is my favourite form of illustration.
