The Artist's Dilemma is a 1901 silent fantasy trick film. The short was filmed in New York City and runs two minutes.
In the film, an artist falls asleep. In his dream, a beautiful woman comes out of a grandfather clock, and poses for him to paint. As he's starting to rough out the painting, a demon clown emerges from the clock to cause mischief. Objecting to the artist's methods, the demon uses a single brush to "unpaint" the picture. When the painting is complete, it turns into another woman in an identical dress. The two young women dance, and then kick both the demon and the artist in the face. They merge into a single woman, and then the demon merges with her as well. Left alone with the woman, the artist tries to embrace her, but she turns into the demon and knocks him down. The demon returns to the clock, and the artist to his dream.
The Corinthian is a fictional character in Neil Gaiman's comic book series The Sandman. He first appeared in The Sandman #10, which is part of the second story arc, The Doll's House. The Corinthian is an anthropomorphized living nightmare created by Dream, who destroys him in the same collection for going rogue and failing to fulfill his original design. Dream later recreates him with "some changes", though the exact nature of these changes is not explicit. His most notable physical feature is his lack of eyes: in their place, two rows of small, jagged teeth line each eye socket, which he often covers with sunglasses. He can speak, eat, see, and even breathe through these mouths.
