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.

Fantastic illustration of your dream, I also love your symbolism. Thanks so much for explaining it to us but you did it so well I could tell what you were trying to portray just by looking at it

I too hope I can draw the things I see my mind too. Practice practice practice

Well aren't you rico suave when you're older. lol! I do like this though, there's this relaxing vibe to it, very layed back and calm. It fits your description perfectly.

As well you should. If I were an old man, I'd wear one all the time.

one doesn't even need to be old or a man to wear one, heh

roundtressym In reply to theCHAMBA [2009-12-08 13:59:50 +0000 UTC]

Yes, but both those things add flavor. I have a bowtie, and I occasionally wear it, but its not quite the same.
