My name is Austin Sane, and I have a deep passion for surreal art in all its forms. It serves as a major influence on my creative work, often guiding the visual and thematic direction of my projects.
I'm also greatly inspired by the philosophy of Alan Watts, whose ideas on consciousness and existence frequently find their way into my storytelling. His blend of Eastern thought and Western analysis offers a rich foundation for exploring the more abstract aspects of life.
One of my favorite films is Wristcutters: A Love Story by Goran Dukić. Its dark humor, quirky characters, and surreal exploration of the afterlife resonate deeply with me. I'm also a huge fan of indie cinema and the French New Wave, with Jean Cocteau's work standing out as a particular influence—his ability to merge the dreamlike with the poetic continues to inspire my own artistic journey.
