Artist Draws Dreams By Descriptions In Photoshop

Berlin-based artist Margaux Espinasse launched a blog Photoshop Your Dreams, where she uploads illustrations of the dreams of unknown people. Anyone can participate in the project, you just have to send her a description of your dream.

In an interview with i100.co.uk, Espinasse said that she got the idea for the project after trying to describe a dream where she was chased by a flying octopus which was attacking her friends. Now, the artist does not have enough time to complete all the requests. She receives about 30 letters a day despite the fact that the project has existed for only for 2 weeks.

“Every dream has its own particularity. All I have to say is that I am really happy when it comes to underworld, space, and food (and if the three appear at the same time, it’s even better),” says Espinasse.
