Description Here is an illustration I did with graphite on Canson paper. It is titled "The Time Keeper". She is the angel that oversees time in this reality. She has no cornea since time can not be seen and is not tangible. The clock only goes to eight (which is the symbol for infinity). The numbers go no further since time does not exist, it is an illusion and infinity is not.

The purpose of time is for our daily agreements with our interactions - when to get to work, when to pick up the kids, when to meet for dinner and so on. Most of us have taken time to a level much stress in which we have become consumed by time, like prisoners. We don't have enough time for anything, it seems. Yet, when we slow down and take our focus off time we actually get more done. This I have learned from my experience...

It's really incredible. Forget the details but it has something in it that makes it something more than just brilliantly drawn pencil picture. will be waiting for more

Love surreal art- i agree with you time is an illusion and infinity is real people take it too seriously. In order to live in our reality we must have it. Different cultures view time differently very kool concept.beautiful work.

Wow! This is amazing! All the details and the shading- this just looks absoloutly phenomenal! And I love the idea you have behind this too and all the symbolic meaning! Its really grand. I like how she's been done in a very steampunk looking way as well. She's very metallic XD But stunningly beautiful at the same time. I love the design of her body and even how her hair flows. Perhaps it because I'm such a sucker for details but I just love all the work you put into this. How long did this take you? It's quite wonderful! Good job!
