Time

I was the first,
the first one to exist.
I will be the last,
the final one to perish.
For I am all,
all that once was,
all that is,
all that will be.
For I am...
Time.

Finally it is done, my work closely related to my old work Eternity, one I personally still see as one of my favourites of all time, regardless of how old it gets. I still see it as some kind of milestone.

This work was not only inspired by my strange love for time and everything related to it, it was also inspired by my dragon clock (on the wall of my bedroom, right above this laptop. I love that clock so much).

First time I used white gel pens! Okay, you can clearly see it was my first time using them, but they did give some cool effects, in my opinion.

The wheels of time bind us all. We have a finite amount of time to create and co-create, yet we have the ability to exist outside the confines of our chosen time (if we seal ourselves in the work we leave behind). Each work of an artist binds a piece of the artist to itself, and has the potential to travel into eternity. The challenge of the artist is to create works that speak to the human soul, so that the artist can live on in the minds and hearts of those who are touched by the art.

This artwork tells me (as I've always believed) that I'm not the creator/sustainer of time, but I do have the potential to defy time, and live on into eternity.

The wheels of time will never stop. How will you impress yourself upon the wheels of time?
This wonderful comment by *artsoldier77 is something I'd like to share with everyone.

I hope you love this piece as much as I do!
