I am getting my inspiration from the works of Mark Ryden, who paints cute cartoon style images with creepy undertones, eg a doe eyed girl weeping blood, etc. Other surrealist artists i have gained inspiration from are Camille Rose Garcia, who paints child like animals and people with black dribbling down the walls, also the Clayton Brothers who also paint innocent paintings of animals and characters with the animals eating eachother, etc. I have also been influenced by Jan Svankmajers 'Alice in Wonderland' movie, in particular the rabbit character who is made from a stuffed rabbit, who as the movie progresses keeps eating the stuffing that is falling out of his body.
I am proposing to create the nightclub with a mezzanine level which would be a semi curcle curved around the length of the room. The upper level will be for sitting, drinking and dining. There would be about a half meter drop to the lower level which would be a dance floor in front of a slightly raised stage area.
The theme of the club will be like in a childs play room but with bizarre and sinister undercurrents, or things not what they seem. There will be oversized stuffed animals throughout the club with bleeding eyes or dismembered limbs... perhaps swap some of their heads.. these could make up the tables and chairs??
The stage area will be made to look like a giant television set, with a curtain which when drawn will have projected images on it of children sitting staring at a television (to make the impression the club is within the tv)
Was thinking of maybe making the entire room seem like you are really small??
