I SWORE 2002 was the end! I needed to work in the waking world... so what happened? I live in San Francisco, and when the dotcom bubble burst there were no day jobs. I have lots of free time while I starve! Might as well put it to good use... so I've been painting and illustrating just as busily as when building the World Dream Bank. The list below is only partial, since I mostly added pictures to older dreams crying out for illustrations. Most of these entries are thus non-dream work like DUBIA, TWISTED, and MARS REBORN.

Plus, this year saw the first dreams by others to enter the Dreambank--kudos to Martha Sherwood for braving my hideous editing process! See her "Reconciliation" below.... better yet, add your own dream!
