Illustration Friday - Aging



Today I woke up old. I am all wrinkled. Where did my youth go? What have I done with my life? Who is this woman in the mirror? How many years I still have to live? Why the time is passing me by so quickly? Will I be alive when my son marries? Who will die first, me or my husband? Is my skin too dry? Will I be able to earn money 10 years from now? Will I have cancer or other serious disease? Am I still attractive? Why am I not happy? Aging is not easy.

You are such a brilliant artist! I simply love your Klimt drawings!! Such an inspiration!

Well, we all ask these questions of ourselves, don't we? I wonder, do men wonder about their attractiveness as they age the way women do? And is this a similar quandary in Brazil as in America? I love this illustration. I love the sense of panic your woman seems to have with all these questions burdening her. Excellent work as usual. Your site is a treat to visit every week!!

The hands clutched in the hair speak volumes. I like the coloring and hand written text...

I've been feeling this way lately, which is a shame because I'm barely old enough to have these kind of thoughts. It's scary to think about aging and all the things you thought you'd accomplish by a certain time in your life. love the written element, and the style is really great.
