Everywhere is walking distance if you have the time.
Steven Wright
Ah, “If you have the time.” That’s just it, who does? Whatever happened to that vision of a 21st century where all our time was spare time, where legions of robots toiled away, humming gently in chrome plated servitude, as we laid back in jet powered lounge chairs, under pre-scheduled, sunny skies, and signaled for, just one more, umbrella topped drink? Hey, I’ve seen the Popular Scientifics magazine covers, I know what the future was supposed to look like, and this ain’t it. In fact, I’d argue the opposite has come to pass. Spare time has become the Holy Grail of the digital age. Like government intelligence and aerosol lunchmeat, computer derived spare time exists only as theory, blue sky breeze shooting, a promise unfulfilled.

Well, while unlimited free time may never be more than a glorious dream, the whizz-bang geniuses at JohnWalkerIllustration.com are doing their part to bring a little slice of the care free world of tomorrow, to your desktop today. Available now for download or online viewing on the Downloads/Links page, are a series of pre-selected, image themed, pdf files. There are three sample categories posted as of today, characters, religious and pre-historic. Others will be added soon. You can simply view the page in your favorite browser or, with a George Jetson-ish right click your mouse, download a print ready page of samples for your next client presentation. Time saved.
Will we ever reach the android piloted, while fez wearing passengers play mahjong in the back seat, flying-car world of tomorrow? Who can say? But rest assured that our team of jim-crack engineers are working non-stop to wrangle every last time saving innovation, from today’s digital meringue of zeros and ones, so that we can all keep heading toward a more leisurely tomorrow.
As for me, with all this time on my hands, I’m off to grab one of those umbrella topped drinks.
