DREAMSTATES

I love to watch people sleep, especially when they talk and I can lead a conversation into the absurd to see how long I can carry it on before they either wake up or simply stop talking.
This man is responsible for directing my attention to much of the subjects I end up drawing and painting, and I don't give him nearly enough credit for it. Although he doesn't consider himself
'talented', he has no idea how gifted he is. He has a way of manipulating my focus to subject matter I sometimes wouldn't consider, and they often become some of the best work I do.

This is David, my partner. Sleeping blissfully, mumbling silly things while I sit back and sketch a quick minute-or-two to catch the innocent and peaceful moment of an afternoon slumber.
