I'm currently obsessed with drawing & painting food. I frequent TasteSpotting for recipes and feel compelled to paint and draw all those food photos. I tend to make things look creepy so some of these aren't too appetizing...lol

So shameful not scanning my drawing in 2009...Here are a few from the past.

Fish Soup

2009-01-08T05:12:00.000-08:00

This is what I woke up from yesterday. I was lost at sea with someone. Frantically paddling towards the shore. There were these bizarre fish sticking out of the sea and some dried up dead ones on shore. The waters were saturated with strange jelly like creatures underneath. A few horned shark like things swam by. My dreams have been so vivid this year....

Metal Song video Play

2007-02-04T13:12:00.000-08:00

20 min Speed Painting, Photoshop

This was a dream I had last night about a Metal song video happening in front of me sort of like a play. I remember admiring the beautiful Matte Painting in the background. As the song progresses into a dramatic note a typical rock video chick comes out of this cavern on the stage from the left, she's in this sparkling diamond gown that seems to glow as she moves across the stage. I've been listening to tons of Metal Church lately maybe that's the cause of the dream....lol..

This was a super strange and scary dream I had last night. Me and my friend were out in the mountains and this field was in front of us.....I notice that the rocks are like black ice and the sky starts to warp like an aurora....Then suddenly the earth rumbles and these volcano's erupt from the ground and we take off running for cover......Later on in my dream we learn that this happened all over the world and only a few people are left.........Nature over threw man.........12/05
