I tacked my sleeping bag up on the wall to get a better look at the interesting lining one day. I left it there long enough that it inspired a few sketches and paintings. The painting is a 30 x 30 oil on canvas. The drawing shows the actual sleeping bag tacked on the wall and positioned behind the sofa and coffee table (which are adorned with their own checker board and polka dot patterns). The painting is mounted on the wall with the sleeping bag behind it. There is another painting (by Marc Gignac) that looks a bit like a spider also mounted on the wall, and inspired by the sleeping bag.
