(C) 2006 Elton Houck...this nightmare is real because it is based in reality..real creatures--this one a "creaturized" giraffee. This began as a photo..the photo became the charcoal underpainting, thus the medium is "PHOTOPAINTING" ---------------...Here we are in the dream that never seems to end...Remember the song lyrics that goes something like this,"...monsters to the left of me, monsters to the right; I'm stuck in the middle with you." You may feel like you're caught in some witchy ensorcelment, but its only a dream...And all dreams do sometime end....the tunnel does not go on forever...the sea eventually cascades its waves and breaks on some far distant shore...But all of that is THE REAL WORLD...REALITY ON PLANET EARTH. Well just forget those rules of order...YOU ARE NOT IN THE PRESENT REALITY...BUT IN A TIMELESS REALM WHERE ORDER AND CAUSE AND AFFECT do not apply...There is only one rule here...and that is MOVE FAST IF YOU WANT TO STAY ALIVE! Pleasant dreams everyone...
