ART

Look at me, I can be depressing too!

The realization that I'm heading off to college to live on my own hit me hard tonight as I sat down to list what all I have left to do before I leave on Sunday. So what was the first thing I wrote down? A concept sketch that ultimately yielded this drawing showing my TRUE INNER FEELINGS! Gasp in amazement as the knot in the pit of my stomach grows with each passing moment, and revel in this image portraying the ravages of the coming of age:

LifeMedium: Bits on Glass Platter(Matt, 2006)


DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE SYMBOLISM? THE WAVE REPRESENTS THE INEVITABLE CASCADE OF ADULT RESPONSIBILITIES, DARKENING A ONCE BRIGHT AND CAREFREE CHILDHOOD. THE OCEAN REPRESENTS THE REST OF LIFE, WHICH WHEN COMPARED TO THE SMALL SPIT OF LAND I AM STANDING ON, IS FAR GREATER THAN ANYTHING I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. The lightening just looks cool :P

Life is catching up to me, and I've been preparing for the last 18 years. I have the rest of my life to prove that I can handle anything thrown my way, and when the going gets rough, if I can keep my head above water, then I can make it through anything.

To be honest, for thirty minutes in Flash, I don't think its all that bad an image. True, it lacks detailed shading, or character development for that matter, but this was very spur-of-the-moment. It turned out a lot better than my initial pen-on-paper sketch, thats for sure!

I move into my dorm on Sunday, so look for the inevitable waterfall of photos the day or two afterwards. College, here I come! Are you ready for me?!
