Snake Vs Shark

Earlier today I took a rather nice mid-day nap with yet another odd ball dream. I usually don't remember them as often as I have been doing in the recent days--I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep up with these drawings. Also I promise they wont all be quick sketch doodles, I'll try to take my time next time a cool dream comes up!
So I was on my way to a museum or something. And I run into a bunch of old friends from the high school band that I haven't seen in a while and among them (probably by coincidence because she's not really affiliated with them) was none other than one of my best buddies, Amber Wallen. Apparently she was on a first-date with a rather tall, fit, good looking guy but she looked very unhappy that I was there. My guess was because she knew I would do something to embarrass her if I ever found myself in that kind of situation (which I would).So it was no surprise to me that they hurried off hand in hand to avoid me at all costs. That's when I had noticed her date was actually wearing a lady's blouse of some kind that showed off his back. It made me wonder if she didn't want me to talk to her because she knew I wouldn't ever let her forget about a date she had with a bogirl. Well, I made it into the museum--which I guess was actually an aquarium of some kind. The first thing I saw was the shark and anaconda tank, which was actually the same tank. All of a sudden the biggest anaconda starts fighting with the shark. It was EPIC. My gut reaction: I pull out my cell phone to capture it on camera because I think to myself that The Bui, another one of my best buddies, just HAS to see this! Then the bloody tank gets flushed out in order to put a stop to the violence and have the marine biologist take a look at the damage. In just the room over a very angry marine biologist was examining the shark like if it was a machine of some kind (even though is was a real shark) and I could hear him muttering to himself: "That stupid snake, he's really done it this time! This is the last straw. We can finally get rid of that fucking thing. I don't think [the shark] is going to make it..." The shark looked like it was made of wood on the inside.

Del Taco Vs Taco Bell

My dreams aren't as fun as my last one. Take last night for example:I was a police officer in line at a Del Taco discussing the fundamental differences of the pseudo Tex-Mex menu with that of its rival, Taco Bell with the cashier and other guy waiting in line. The guy appeared to not know--but then again I was carrying a gun (and I think at one point I may have waved it around) so why wouldn't he feign attention?

I don't think I ever got my order of chicken soft tacos...

Cali Vs the Nazis & Alien

So I had this idea since I've always liked writing about my dreams in LJ--why not write AND illustrate them? This is a variation on what Marshall Vandruff said once (which he learned from another artist--he only used four panels). So I did some quick sketches in Skecthbook Pro during work today based off the dream I had the other night:
I was disguised as a sexy lady spy taking down Nazis with a flamethrower.

I had to escape the building I was in because my mission was to collapse it--except it never came down so my mission was a failure.I escaped out and found myself on the Cal State Fullerton campus--luckily there was some event going on with people everywhere so I was able to take off my sexy lady spy disguise and blend in.I ventured to the far Southwest side of campus where it was now some kind of sea port. There, I got into a physical confrontation with an alien life form from another planet as we were teleported to his home world...
Seriously though, I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried...
Then again, I did, didn't I? Subconsciously anyway. So I don't even have to try--probably because I am such a natural

;)

p.s. More of these kinds of entries to come--whenever I have a dream worth telling that is, so it will be random. But I do have a back log of dreams that I have written down on LJ sooo who knows.
