Artist Who Creates Masterpieces in His Sleep is Selling Entire Collection

A London-based artist who can only draw while he’s asleep is selling his collection of original works on eBay for £1million ($1.6 million US).

37-year-old Lee Hadwin has created stunning portraits of Marilyn Monroe as well as scores of abstract pieces while in dreamland, but has no idea what he has done – until the next morning.

Hadwin has been scribbling in his sleep since he was four years old and got in the habit of leaving sketch pads out to use in the night.

He finds he draws in his sleep 2 or 3 times a week.  Sometimes, however, he’ll go for a few weeks without creating anything.

Hadwin’s nighttime talent has baffled sleep clinics and they have monitored him in an effort to understand the curious behavior.

What’s even stranger is Hadley never  aspired to be an artist. He admits “My art’s horrific when I’m conscious.”

Billionaire Donald Trump and illusionist Derren Brown are among those who have bought his works.

Art experts advised him to hold on to his creations to boost their value but he’s decided to sell the whole lot and give half the proceeds to the Missing People charity.

Up to 100 pieces of art in Hadwin’s collection will be put up for sale on eBay on February 11.
