wow, you guys must really like me. you seem to always come back for more on these illofridays! by the way.....i thank you for that! just like a few other of my illo-masterpieces, this one came to me at the last minute. it actually has a deeper meaning behind it than you might think, although you guys are sometimes better than me at interpreting my work. so the whole idea i had for this one was that life is like a puzzle. there are soo many pieces to choose from that will fit into the empty spaces, but its very overwhelming and very tricky to figure out. however, if you use the wisdom that you have acquired over the years from those more experienced than you, it is less complicated to complete the puzzle....or in puzzle terms, you will atleast have the right pieces that put together the border. i always seem to do those first and then work my way in. either way you look at this one, i hope you like it and leave your comments on it. for those of you curious enough, yes i did use real puzzle pieces for this one. i figured the real pieces would give it a better effect than if i had just drawn in my own. TGIF. and...... enjoy.

I would have really liked to see a zoomed close up - the textures look like they are great. I also like your explanation and how you work from the border inwards to aquire wisdom. I've found as getting 'old' you then look beyond the border - it's surprising what can happen to the 'inwards inards' :) Sorry if too cryptic. Well done!

i actually thought at first it looked like the sole of a shoe crashing through a window...it's a very cool illo...i too would love to see it bigger, it looks like a lot was put into it. i think wisdom is about being able to see the bigger picture:D
cheers,

What a neat concept! I like the composition with the lightbulb filling the space and the little pieces with their buzzy lines. Good job!

It looks like the loose puzzle pieces are surrounded by cracked cement, Chacha. Does this mean that the most important pieces are buried and we have to work harder to achieve their use ?
If so, then you've rilly gone deep with this one!
