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 totally love your entry, sadoy I couldn't do mine since I have a ton of stuff to do
But it's great to see that someone actually follow the guidelines 'show YOUR dreams' which people barely did in their entries, so this piece is really meaningful !

I like it very much! The background is simple yet vibrant, and the man (older you)is more detailed, clearer and has a inviting smile making him the main focus. I also like your dream, it's a good dream worth fighting for Great job!

When I look at this I just think of an old man who is flashing back to his beginnings as an artist.

I love this. For one, it's a wonderful, happy and hopeful image. I like the warm autumn colors and the look of joy on your face. And the thought you put into this, with the box and the watch, show that you are very insightful and that you really do care about your art. Huge kudos on those.
All in all this is a great piece, I think you're a shoe-in for the win.

I really love your ideals for the future! They really strike home with me because it's pretty much the same hopes I have for myself in the future.
Thanks for making a kick arse pic with great meaning dude!
