Self portrait. Back out of my comfort zone. According to my daughter, I look smug. But I'm actually amused about having to use myself as a model!
"My art is an extension of myself, a third hand that serves my thoughts and dreams to the world. It is dark and I happily use the word creepy, yet it can also be whimsical and sad and surreal. These words do not define the process, simply the end result. What we are is more than what everyone sees when the process is complete."

I visited the darker side of my imagination this week and it felt good. That old feeling came back, the creeping thought of "should I share this?" and I was immediately at peace, happily moving forward with a self-portrait that calls to mind earlier works while pairing it with a new environment.
Create what you love, no matter what <3
I really had to crank down and draw a self portrait during the course of one night, so i decided to document it.
Week 01 for weeklypic.de
Inspired by Shelly, I will also start a series with self-portraits. I do love human touch in pictures, but I'm too shy to ask for modelling and too honest to publish candid or stolen shots. So let me get out of my own comfort zone and start model myself.
So this a self-portrait. It was an extra credit assignment that gave me the motivation to do this shot. I have been thinking about doing something like this for a while, and today I finally had the off camera flash capability.
