Description
This took me a looong time. It's inspired by Norman Rockwell's 'Day in The Life of a Boy' (look it up on google!). The basic idea was that I would show a boy's day with moments and situations in which he'd be daydreaming (while still showing evidence of the real world). I tried to use his daydreams to show how he would feel about different moments of his day. I'll admit it might be a bit challenging for a normally unimaginative, non-artistic audience, but I did my best to string together his fantasies using thematic and visual cues, so it makes some kind of sense. Tell me what you think!Bonus points to anyone who can name the all the shoutouts to the classic artists/illustrators & fairytales I used!

you used Indiana Jones in the one where he is riding the horse didnt you?

Really it was supposed to be referencing just a general cowboy type... but seeing that the Indy recipe definitely calls for one part cowboy, you're pretty much right. The panel to the right with the tv and treasure actually is intended to recall, however distantly, the opening scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Aladdin, of course.
