The Strange and Hilarious Spoken Dreams of Legendary Sleeptalker Dion McGregor , TVI (Torpor Vigil Industries) Audio, 2002 |
| This image was inspired by one of McGregor's dreams in which horseshoe crabs figure prominently. It was arrived at after many false starts. McGregor's dreams are so evocative and outrageous in their own right that illustrating them poses a daunting challenge. I was very happy with this solution that uses the gloss of the crab's shell to reflect some of the dream characters. |
