Description Sure, why not!

So I needed a bit of break from pagework.
and this current contest's theme piqued my interest.

The contest, open to artists of all visual mediums anywhere in the world, challenges you to show us your dreams and aspirations for the future.

The word that Got me there was Your.
Wasn't sure if that were to be taken figuratively or Literally, So I took it from a more personal note.

Dreams for the future are simple for me.

I'd love to keep being able to draw, to create art. It makes me happy. So I drew an older me in a style that's not serious, something light hearted. Simple. Pleasant.

The Arm-less watch represents moments without restrictions of time. Creating art (or doing things we enjoy in general) can often times be annoying when placed under time constraints. It can really suck the fun out've it.

The Open box with the opened lock represents the unlocking of potential. As I get older, I'd hope to eventually unlock more and more things contained within my imagination. Sometimes there's something in my head that I simply can't get out, and that can get really annoying. I'd love to continually exceed that point and actually draw what I see in my head. Maybe even surprise myself.

Who knows, maybe in time.

One's allowed to dream, right?

SURE!

why not!


now back to work I go.

Nice work. You did good, i like the expression and the simple style. The concept is what makes it even more awersome.
Guess is good having a image of yourself in the future like this.

Gotta respect a guy who truly has a love for creating art for the sake of creating art and nothing more than that.

i was just drawn to this, my eyes just had to view it. The colours and layout are gd. Man love how relaxed and almost timeless the atmosphere is in this piece. I think you captured not only what you dream, but others as well.

Out of all the other great parts of this illustration, the first thing I couldn't help but notice was the bowtie.

Dat Bowtie.

And the Bowtie inscription on the bench.

ANYWAY lovely work! It's funny seeing an artist I highly admire join the same contest as I joined. O:
I WILL STILL FAVORITE THE COMPETITION.
Best of luck! :]

great job man! I love the warm feeling your piece gives kind of nostalgic actually...like you're looking back at your younger years and where you are now and then giving out a long deep sigh~ (a good "sigh" at that) For having accomplished what you wanted in life and having that feeling of contentment You look more professional too - like an old Master haha!

Great Symbolisms too! Loved it! Thnx for sharing the Dream
