Here is what happened on May 7th. I wrote :
I'm so jacked up this morning. I had a vivid dream so real and weird and wonderful I had to get it down. I'm in the woods with Danny Gregory and we are calling in Tommy Kane. Turns out Kane lives in a tree. Danny knocks on the door at the base of this huge tree and Tommy's wife answers. I'm feeling sheepish and embarrassed because I don't know these people at all and it is kind of early to be knocking on doors.. Tommy's wife disappears without a word and then Kane appears in a tee shirt, underwear and hat. He looks like he just woke up. Kind of sleepy and scratchy. I figure he must be pissed off because here we are early and unannounced. Kane reaches up and gets a remote control, points it outside and says "Check this out"...he clicks...Danny turns around smiling and I see a barrage of colors fly out and turn into a giant peacock! Then I wake up and rush to my desk to draw this. Sketchbook Skool...Worth every penny!
It was a lot of fun and we all had a day full of laughter. The weird thing for me about this dream is that I didn't know Danny Gregory and Tommy Kane were working together at Danny's place in LA. I pay attention to my dreams. I keep a notebook by our bed and when I wake up from a dream I jot down single words or phrases in my sleepy state and go back to sleep. In the morning when I get up I look at these "prompt" words and the details of the dream come back. Sometimes I start at the end of the dream and work back. The important thing is to write it all out. I do this in a special Dream Journal. Then I set about drawing a scene which tells the story. This one came fast. I got up at about 2:00am and finished it by 6:00pm, color and all. When they come out fast it's great. It's as if I just hold the pen or brush and the characters draw themselves. I really love the Sketchbook School. All the teachers were great, I've learned so much and most of all my fellow Klassmates are wonderful. I love them all.
