It's been while since I've started a self portrait, but the timing feels right. I'm hoping to push the envelope in the new series I'm starting, so some serious introspection is due. A self portrait shouldn't be about projecting an ego to others, but about truly examining oneself and putting the result forward unfiltered. Working on linen, this was supposed to be the rough drawing for the painting to come but I got a little carried away. It's going to be tough to cover it up!
