Claire & Gregory

Hi there & happy Monday! Meet another couple of residents of Wunderland, Claire and her pet nautilus Gregory. They love to take swims together in the morning, while Claire holds onto one of Gregory's tentacles as they cross tough undertows.

Lately I've been staying up until 4am painting, which is bad to get off a regular sleep schedule accommodating 8am classes during the week. I slowly gain momentum through the day - mostly spending the morning/afternoon reading and poking around online, browsing endless graphic design/illustration/fashion/style blogs and sites, answering emails, sketching, making meals, and running errands. Just before/after dinner, I get really started from my sketch-dawdling all day and put on a TV show on DVD, and paint paint paint.

Why is it that at 4am your mind is still racing with brand new ideas and all this new-found motivation while you're forcing yourself to sleep - yet once you wake up, they've all slipped away like ghostly dreams?
