Lee Hadwin Sleep Artist
When Lee Hadwin is awake, he identifies as someone with no artistic talent. But while he’s asleep, his creative side comes alive and he crafts portraits, landscapes, and abstract drawings that only someone with amazing artistic prowess can produce. Once Hadwin wakes from his slumber, he has snapped out of his art-making trance and carries on with life as a non-creative person.
So, how does he do it? We’ve all heard of people who talk or even walk around their homes while they’re asleep. Hadwin is no different, although his “sleep artistry” demonstrates a much more complex form of this phenomenon. It began when he was four years old and started with scribbles at night. By age 15, however, Hadwin created three portraits of Marilyn Monroe that looked like they were drawn by someone with some artistic training—and he had none. He has since made a career from his nighttime activities, calling himself a Sleep Artist. The rate at which he’ll create work is unpredictable but regular enough for him to sell the original pieces for thousands of dollars while participating in exhibitions around the world.
