Description
This one was a random piece (one of the very few flipper-off-ers I've drawn lately - damn, I can never get that finger right) against destiny depicting a road trip and featuring all of my alter egos, most of which you are or will be familiar with at some point.Well, here's the deal: you know how destiny tends to constantly put up all those signs along the roadside of your life? Sometimes you miss the little ones or get misled by the big ones, but soon enough you get used to looking around all the time, trying to analyze them in order to find out what you were born to do, who you were born to love, where you are supposed to go in life and whether in hell you are going in the right direction at all... But the signs get more and more frequent, more and more ambiguous, more and more confusing... and, in the end, you could find out that none of them really guarantees to lead to happiness and the one thing you might really wanna do is watch the road, enjoy the breeze and hope not to crash into a tree...
In other words - I'm tired of signs. From now on, I go where I want to.

Haha, for lack of a better phrase... I think I was meant to see this picture, precisely at this point in my life. I've been so confused and lonely and miserable lately that I've been looking for signs and stuff that'll help me figure out what I want. But sooner or later I'll have to choose whether I want the life that I know or the new exciting easy way out. Ahhh, maybe I'm looking too deeply into things that shouldnt matter. Very nice picture though.

No, you're absolutely right - and there's no harm in looking too deeply in things, because everything you find to be of worth matters. Your view of it is very close to the idea I wanted to put in the picture. So, that makes me feel wuite warm on the inside.

Your totally right, destiny ties into that whole god worship shiz and I don't give a care about either of them. I am so irritated by the pepole who think they can change my beleifs. I think you did an awesome job! (Especially on the finger!)

I've never tied destiny and God together. I've always felt the need to choose a god of my own, instead of the obligatory ones, but to me, destiny has always been a separate idea. Still, at one point, I got tired of it. Thanks for the compliment, and to be honest, I really don't know how to agree that the finger was done right, but the rest was easier, for sure

I like the painting and the idea behind it.
Signs are funny things, but you don't have to take them too suriosley
(Right now while I'm writing this comment, it happened that, while I was deleting something wrong I wrote, the word heroes in Italian appeared on the screen

Thank you. Yes, I suppose not. Otherwise things get way too messy
Hmm, that is weird indeed... thanks for the compliment on the picture

What? I had no idea. Did he ever say anything like that?

"I go where I wanna go." was almost his catchphrase in the 90s cartoon.

Really? I had no idea. But I feel like a wiser person now. Yay for Wolverine

I love this painting! Your artwork is so meaningful and beautiful to look at too.

Thank you. I'm guessing the sun is too childish, and the finger is always a very profane thing to look at - but some things don't go without others... I am really glad you liked it

I think all of the elements go together really well. As you said, some things don't go without others, and it's true!

I am glad you think so. Either way, I did this just for the sake of art. And I wouldn't have been true to myself if I hadn't added it all together.
