This was an old senior thesis idea that didn't go anywhere. Something about a guy who kept turning forward his clock to get through all the boring stuff and ended up old and regretful...or something.

I admit I began to lose interest by the time I got to the background and I think it shows. I'll probably revisit this piece at a later date.
Here's the original sketch:

Anyway as always comments and crits are welcome
