"This painting is looking into the future and the past. Showing how I once was, how I am now, and, most importantly, how I want to be in the future. All while being slowly surrounded by a dark shadow that will one day stop the constant change that is life. The future will come and death with it. Making all the things that you were, are, and will be into one." - Max Purtill

"This drawing is about the future of American space travel. The reflection of the planets in the austronaut's helmet shows the potential possibility to better understand our neighbouring planets. I believe if we can understand more about the planets in our solar system we can better understand the universe itself." - Noah Cramer

"Looking at the theme Future, the first thing I think about is Technological and Scientific Development. My artwork is based on my belief in future technology.

In the center, it is a UFO transferring through a wormhole to the new world."

"This painting is from the anime Attack on Titan and although the anime takes place in the past that's not why it’s futuristic.   It’s what the anime uses, for example, their equipment uses compressed air that helps them move around and basically fly. Along with their “zip lines” that help them move around, you can see that this is something that’s in the future."
