Posted to David Berube "Portrait" MailArt Call



Sent to David Berube's mailart call for a portrait in exchange for one of his 'Face A Day' pieces.
This one done the morning I awoke in the hospital July 24th 2005 after having surgery to repair damages caused by four stab wounds. It's along story and I'm done with telling it as of posting this piece.

Way To Go

Crazy dreams of chewing on electrical cables and frying my head off, this nightmare disturbed me for days. This has since snuck into other drawings and doodles I do while at work disturbing all that wonder by.

The Golfers

It wasn't bad enough that I had a dream of myself walking around naked, but it took place on a dew soaked golf course just before the sunrise. Unfortunately I woke before the sunrise ....
