Description Because it's easier when you're sitting down.

How people are choosing virtual realities over their own.


An editorial piece done for class. They need an editorial section in the illustration category, man.

I like how you see the time pass by the change in computers, and how his fantasies change over time.

I love this... Funny, sad, unfortunately true...
And I also noticed that the nerd is growing up in the process of these things. I judged this by the type of computer... the old box for when he was high school, the laptop for college age, and the newer flat screen for greasy adulthood. I find this shows the continually of habit (computer obsession) and the changing of interest (kids like to be warriors, college guys want cars and nerdy middleaged people want a girlfriend). But in conclusion i really loved this piece.

Brovo!

So true! And great examples too... pretending to have a girl, pretending to be some great warrior...
I like how you kept all of the guys the same (are they all the same guy? I interpreted it as many different guys, since they all have different computers and clothing). Giving them all a smiliar-looking head really made a point about how many different people are doing the same thing, choosing fantasy over reality.
It's a cool piece, a fave for sure. The clouds connecting are so cute! :] I love it all.

I absolutely adore this piece.
I love how the clouds connect to eachother
and how the man's clothing and his computer
change so subtly. Great choices in color.

The colours are the first thing that caught my eye on this peice. Green, yellow, and pink are my favourite colours, and you've used the hues together so perfectly. I like how the vivid dream bubbles really stand out agianst the dull background. The layout is great. It's simplistic, but it work great with the theme. The idea gets across without any words, which is hard to do, but you pulled it off wonderfully. Do you mind me asking what media you used for this?

I love the details - such as how two out of three dream that they have hair. Your ideas never cease to astound me.
