A Nose For Dreams

Posted by Ross Rosenberg

Some preliminary sketches by Koldo Barroso for his tentatively titled book Portraits from the Dreamlands: A Guide to Creatures from the Dream World.

The Boombakaboomkers are creatures who run and play their drums all along the dream lands to find anything you want that you once lost. They take shapes from the spirits of different animals and always come to help you when they’re called.

I am an especially big fan of Boom-baKahog, its face comprised almost entirely of an enormous proboscis.

    By the way, my name is Koldo, not kaldo. This pretty much means “soup” where I’m from. If I had to be called like food I rather be called “Avocado”, it sounds a lot better ;-)
