Was just wondering if any of you do this?

i posted this in another section of the forum.. but i figured i'd bring it over here to get your thoughts... or if any of you have actually used this technique...

so me and a couple buddies were sittin around shootin pool the other day and we got on the topic of how different artists will fall asleep with coins... lighter... cup... keys.. or whatever else will make noise.. in their hands.. so that when they are in between awake and sleeping they drop.. the whatever they are holding and wakes them up... and what this does is flashes a quick image of whatever they may have been thinking about and will run and paint or draw that thing... Salvador Dali was known for doin this to come up with paintings... sorta interesting if ya ask me

 

that sounds like a pretty cool thing to try if ya ask me

 

interesting...i'll have to try that =)

 

Interesting, I have never heard that before.

 

I've never heard of that before, but it sounds pretty cool

 

i have a horrible short term memory so id end up just groggily painting something (if i could paint that is)
