This is one huge piece, cleverly composed it takes you down (literally) step by step to a complete landscape of dreams and feelings. I Dream… from the hand of Laitma, makes part of the Wacom Dreams’ contest.

Rhopalocera is forbidden play, an excellent piece of fan-art inspired by music (and not directly a manga and anime product).
