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.

I know what you mean with the box. I've come to a point where I have a very odd time trying to write what's in my head (which normally I have a very easy time doing).

Ahhhh. I just had to sit back and soak in that dream, it resonates with me.
The animator in me also would love to put this in motion.
Thanks for sharing something so inspiring to aspire to, Chamba. It will be beautiful to smile like that later on in life. Definitely.

Sharing your dream is bound to connect with and inspire someone.

It resembles the relaxing years in your life, like you've retired from the hustle and bustle and are just sitting there drawing whatever you like into the slowly setting hours of day.
At least, that's how I take that. ^^

This image is so touching in that a lot of people did fantasy themes for the contest (heck, I would have), and while this is clearly not literally possible, it is your vision of a future you that is possible, healthy, and creating an infinite number of potential fantasies, or things to help the world. Very unique--I'd vote for it.

That's amazing! And I like the meanings behind everything. And the fact that it's your dream is something I haven't seen other people focus on.
I really think you could win!

The entire translation of unlocking potential and the non restriction of time idea was phonominal, I was trying to figure out the watch's meanning, but I got the unlocking potential, hahaha. Brilliant. When i looked at the picture, my first impression was you, or an older you or your father or someone related to you in some way. But the entire picture is visually breath taking in my opinion. Stunning.

wow! you know what thought. some people can only hope for a future as a great artist and have to still work their way to greatness... you on the other hand are already there and from here on out your work will only continue to amaze.

haha..
you know, when i first saw this, i got a 'mister miyagi + unlocking the secrets of drawing kung fu to an inner peace' type vibe.
anywho, lovin' the fall-ness and over all theme by the way Chamba.
fall is by far, the best season ever invented. ever..
unless there's some really awesome season on some other ultra-distant planet i don't know of.. where there's even more fall. heheh.
