The Terrible Dream Eater

An original illustration by David White

The Terrible Dream Eater by David White plunges viewers into the unsettling territory between sleep and nightmare.

The dense composition transforms nighttime fear into something tangible, capturing the feeling of being trapped inside a dream that refuses to release you.
