Interesting work. The only people I know working in surrealism right now are Kahn + Seleznik and the Parkeharrisons.
I'd class him as a Photoshop artist and the work is interesting, but appropriating old ideas a little too literally for my liking. Really like the fish image though - can imagine it as a Shimano advert in a magazine spread.
There is definitely a great deal of this kind of work being produced in advertising photography, but you don't often see it breaking into the art world because the 'media' (digital art/photography) is too much of a grey area.
Here is another one, although, this arist uses all appropriated images which I guess classifies his body of work as digital art.

Have you all forgotten about Jerry Uselman?

I am not sure about that Ann , though it is interesting that they both seem to follow somewhat same path.
I saw a couple of her prints at Paul Paletti's gallery last year and really like her work.
so much so that I plan to see if I can make a few tri colours carbon prints for her in the future if she is interested.
I think I saw inkjet prints which are not in my game plan for the future.
