We've all had some childhood nightmare or monsters we created in our minds as children. Some of us had more of an "over-active" imagination than others, mine being as such, but I turned it into a positive and convey it in my art! Growing up as an only child, I had plenty of idle time to conjure up what wasn't really there. This was one of my many "childhood nightmares"! Enjoy! ^_^

Dreams have been more of my solace. Being awake tends to be more scary. The bedposts seem to be like figures watching over you, which reminds me of one of my dreams.Carla Klosowski 10 Jul 2006
