The Making of, ‘Stopping the Hands of Time’

With this illustration, I really just wanted to express an emotion that the majority of us feel a lot of the time. Any time I felt like I had many things to deal with, I would always imagine someone trying to slow down time so that I had more time to deal with it all. I wanted to home in on exactly what this emotion would look like on paper so that we can visually understand what we are feeling.

There is no specific reason as to why the young girl is stopping the hands of the clock.  I drew the image this way so that the viewer can apply their own reason making the picture personal to themselves.

The Story of ‘Stopping the Hands of Time’

Sometimes we feel like we are carrying a huge weight on our shoulders and we begin to feel ourselves crumbling under the heaviness of the weight. This weight might be that you have homework to complete, you have deadlines to meet, you have people who need your help, house work which needs completing, children who need looking after, a family which needs feeding or bills which need paying. After a while, you might find yourself standing in front of a clock, squeezing your hands and wishing that time would slow down so that you could just catch a break.
