This image was created entirely in photoshop, using a wacom tablet. It's version 2.0, version 1 having been forever lost in a tragic computer crash.

Of all my projects this year, this has perhaps been the most personal. Right now I'm working a data entry job for my school money, and coming to grips with the fact that unless I become a professor, I will have no particular job training that anyone in the world wants to pay more than minimum wage for. I developed a tragic fear that the rest of my life would be spent in a cubicle, trying to pay for a tiny appartment, and dreaming of saving up enough money to go on a brief vacation.

I had this idea that when I was young, there were all sorts of potential adult mes running around, and as I slowly eliminated their likelyhood with the choices I made they died and wasted away to ghosts of what my life might have been. I like that they turned out so happy and colorful against the grey of the real world in this picture.

And damn I love that hot pink balerina skeleton.
