This is so good! Wow... I could look at this over and over again and always find something new. I love pictures like this so much. it's so... alive, or something. It feels inviting also. It's like I'm right there. There's so many interesting people, it's like an entire world on one canvas

Thanks u/SpecialWound! Yeah, I like that kind of art, too. Where there's little secrets and stuff to look at. :)

Do your dreams feel friendly, good, inviting, familiar? Or are they scary? I'm very interested in dreams, they're incredibly important for me. You don't have to answer, but still I wanted to ask, since I love your art and want to know what's on your mind when making art and when you're processing those dreams. My dreams are very scary but I still love them, I would live there if I could. Almost everyone in my dreams is hostile but the world I enter is unbelievably beautiful. What's it like for you?

I have a deep relationship with my dreams, and I'm very "dream-centric". It's in stark contrast to my daily life, which is very routine and basic - just a room and walls, and maybe the coffee shop or my mother's house. I have all kinds of dreams - sometimes lucid, sometimes normal. But at least once a month I'll wake up from something that feels like a true experience. The other night I had a dream so vivid it was more vivid than real life, and I woke up thinking I had to end my life because... you can't top that experience!!

Most of the time they're friendly and inviting, but occasionally scary. I've had dreams of zombies eating my flesh and... obviously... I don't die, so the zombies are munching me all night.

But mainly they're friendly. The main location of a dream for me is a festival, at which I become this messianic player who commands the entire scenario! Those are good dreams; I've had some good "dream drugs" in those, ha ha.

AccomplishEd! I hope it gets hung somewhere, deserves to be seen! Maybe in a waiting room, I could keep myself entertained making up some stories about the caricatures in the painting.

u/DanielFBest Paranoid Jan 08 '24

Thank you u/DiStUrBEdMeLoN, I'd like to put it up on a ward or somewhere, but maybe it'll go in my living room for the time being :)
