Description
when I was 6 my heart stopped in my sleep for no reason. I remember dreaming of an eel at the foot of the door, writhing around in the shadows. I never saw it again until I was 21 and I hadnt slept in 2 days. Then I saw it creeping at my foot. Thats what the dream series is going to be. Something really crazy. Creatures that talk to me when Im in the land.Related content

This... is wild man. Very creepy vibe this piece has, nice use of colors (has a feel that the opening bathroom shot in Dark City had, the green tiles and all). The floating creature is pretty bizarre. I had to fav this one, nice work.

I'm back from Jamaica and I find this awesome painting! Good fucking job Matt. I'm so out of the loop now. I think I forgot how to paint.
Its really good to see such major improvement in your work, especially when your work was already dope.
I like the gradients you used in the jacket and stuff. really cool feeling to this piece. Actually, its hard to crit and find anything negative. I like it so much.
Good Job Homie.
thanks for everything at my wedding and cant wait to talk to you soon.

-"Chuba Chuba...", says the floaty fetis thingy to Bryce Landers.- I couldnt help myself, that's the first words I thought after reading the description.
I REALLY like this... the fleshtones on the dude's face look great, and I like the tile backgound. Did you make the background with a certain Photoshop/Painter technique?

its actually a photograph of some tiles in my house. Then stretched in photoshop and tweaked a little to match the color. Lazy

Very interesting. I like how you are taking a real life experience and consciously transposing it into art. An eel eh? Maybe you should go for some sushi.

That's awesome. The colors really are amazing. I've got weird dreams like that, but none of the medical problems that go along with sleep apnea. Keep up the good work!

i like the contrast of light and shadow in the pic, and the choice of green for the background just makes everything *pop*!
