Covid revisited

Sea of waking dreams

and fever-induced phantoms

sleepless soaking nights

When the day is done

the clamour and noise depart

Let sleeping dogs lie

What do they dream of?

a twitchin’ and a squealin’

rabbit, squirrel, fox?

Working overtime

Solace

 

The joy of waking

from vivid, exhausting dreams

a daytime solace

Night sight

 

Curios visions

of toucans in Newcastle

life woven in dreams

Night pirates

 

In the night

they came with their swords

and stole dreams

in the night

buccaneers of my tired mind

left me with nothing.

Right up there with my favourite Bristol artists is 3Dom. This dream-like piece was created during the recent ASK paint jam at the M32 roundabout and is just so typical of his weird and wonderful creative mind.

For those who know his work, there are several familiar themes going on here in this piece, including the purple striped trousers the character is wearing and the birdcage for a head. 3Dom often uses inanimate objects to create the face of his characters, bringing those inanimate objects to life and personality to the whole piece. I think a psychiatrist would probably have a field day with 3Dom’s work.

I love the little details like the fly, the lock on the birdcage and especially the upwards drips on the bicycle. I love this piece to bits.

Hunters

 

In the night

when all is pitch black

they will come

baring teeth

stealing the dreams from children

and wreaking havoc
