Description
When I Grow Up I want to remain a kid at heart, with curious eyes open wide towards the blue skies that are sprinkled with color and wonder and why. Huffing and puffing as I ride all around; exploring and feeling the wind in my hair as I ride my favorite two wheels like a kite through the air. The look on my face comes from clouds I have been told, which are pillows of gas explosive and bold. Hand in hand with my favorite friend we will explore this yellow brick road, from bears riding bikes a sight to behold, I explain to my children that science is such a great tool, but to grow up is to only become a pure fool. And when the evening comes and it is time to go to bed, I tell them that when they grow up to never stop being a kid. ~JbeauRelated content

Don't ever grow up...it really blows, and bears just suddenly stop riding penny-farthings

Cute and funny piece The vivid colours are very pretty! The bears looks a bit scary, but with the setting it's rather a funny, happy picture with a wonderful atmosphere

This is so awesome! Literally, when I saw this I was like, "That is so awesome!" The drawing is great, and I love the colors and the vividness. To me the bear is angry at the world for trying to make him sit down and quit having fun, but he's just like I don't care what you say, I am DOING this!...and I can kind of relate to that...

Thank you! Yup, its hard to be angry when you have a balloon, but there is symbolism there between fighting adulthood and being a child

Well, some people grow up too soon, and end up going thruogh life bitter and hollow. I'm glad I still retainsome of that childish wild-eyed wonder and amazement. Sill stop to take in breathtaking sighs once in a while instead of rushing from place to place, stuck between yesterday and tomorrow...

You definitely have things figured out my friend. There was a time when I fell in the trap that we call being an adult, but through having kids I get to see myself grow up again and experience being a child for a second time, but now wiser to know the difference. And you'll see that in my work from time to time, as an exploration into something more, maybe even a children's book. Thank you for the comment!

Nice work, I really like the style and subject matter. I think the bear would pop even more if you tone down the sky colors(make them less pure). As they are, they compete for attention with the bear. Otherwise, great job.

Thank you for the critique and comment! I will definitely consider desaturating the sky hues. Curious if I might have to slightly desaturate the yellow on the bear too. Will give it a go
