Sleepwalking

Meet Lee Hadwin, by day a nurse, at night he’s a “sleepwalking artist” who produces 

strange and fantastical artworks which he has no recollection of drawing when he wakes up the 

next morning.

Dubbed ‘Kipasso’, he says he is utterly mystified by his nocturnal talent, while at the 

daytime he shows no interest or ability in art whatsoever. Major galleries have been asking for 

examples of his work, which they hope to market on its artistic merit as well as its novelty value.

Hadwin first started sleepwalking when he was four years old, but his parents believed it 

was a normal childhood phase. When he was in his teens, he began producing artwork while 

asleep, at first on his bedroom walls. Once, staying over at a friend’s house, he covered the 

kitchen walls with doodles in his sleep, an embarrassing discovery at breakfast time the next day. 

In his late teens and early 20s, the intensity of his sleepwalking increased and Hadwin would 

wake to find everything in the vicinity: tableclothes, newspapers, clothes and walls, covered in 

artwork. 

Hoping to harness the strange ability, he started leaving artists’ materials out when he 

went to bed and, sure enough, when he awoke he says he would find full-blown pictures beside 

him. Now, he leaves his home prepared for nocturnal wanderings, with sketchbooks and charcoal 

pencils scattered around the house, particularly under the stairs, a favorite venue.
