I posted before about Paul O. Zelinsky's art, and there's another artist I want to bring forward: Roberto Innocenti's illustrations for Pinocchio.

I keep dreaming a recurring nightmare. I’m in a mega-scaled escherian combination of my high school and college. And I have failed all of my classes except for 2, which I struggle with my feelings of self-worth about. Then the dream will kind of zoom out a bit, and from this new meta perspective I am able to see everyone in the school is taking only 2 classes except for me, for some reason, who has a schedule of 7 classes.

So in terms of social exposure, that’s 2:5. 5 classes where the population exposed to me only knew me as “the person in class who is failing.” Even if I was performing above expectations in those 2 classes. I think in the dream the social anxiety pressure of that that reputation caused/gave me either a nervous breakdown, or a heart attack and I died
