"The power of the mind - I wish I could read your mind" was the concept I chose to look into for my latest Illustration course assignment. It's depicting how the world can be seen through a child's eyes. His innocence and imagination is what's protecting him from the harsh surroundings of reality.

30+ hours in Photoshop 7.

i love the way the desecrated city looks like it's creeping into the bubble of imagination and trying to envelop it or perhaps intrude.

I know I would have been very ADD trying to do something like that. XD
The windows on the brown buildings kind of reminded me of a cartoon when I first saw this in full-view.

The meaning here is so strong and deep and well-expressed that this image lingered in my mind for a while after! It really makes you think; it's so beautiful! I love this. Trust me when I say the DD was well-earned. Congratulations...

I'm way too lazy to read the other 500 comments, so this might have already been said, but oh well. I think the most moving part of this piece is the little bits of green around the bubble. Outside the bubble. Which means the power of that mind is actually making things better where it can't seem to reach. Incredible piece!

love it!!! this is definately going on my faves!!! lol, the reason a child fears growing up, is because deep down, they know they'll lose the bliss that their ignorance gives them. I beilieve that children are the smartest people out of all of us.

I don't often comment on a piece that already has this many comments, but this image is truly beautiful. The symbolism, the meaning behind it. Perfectly executed. The innocence of childhood, too bad we all can't be like that anymore...

Yeah, it is pretty sad. Especially because some children in this world really do live like that
