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! ^_^

YIKES. Great commuinication. I've had some nightmares simialr to this myself, but I think they were thoughts that were put there by religion. Sad, but true! GREAT job.

I used to hit the switch at a run and be in bed before the light was out! Did you ever see the Amazing Stories episode about the Shadow Man? Universally creepy!

Still scares me!... Rita

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.

Artist Reply: Thanks Tim! I was thinking of doing this in a series! What do you think? Take care!!
