Artist's Comments

So many changes in my life. My hair has changed and my life has gotten much better, my personality continues to reveal its true self. but still the scares of my past wont fade though. I am still reminded of my bitter past. I pray for the day i may leave it all behind, but i will not forget who i was and who i have become.

Self Portrait finished on July 30th 2004. Charcoal on 80 lb paper.

Dedicated to all my friends who watched me change over the years and never judged me, for thats what the eyes represent.

I like the detail you put into your self portrait. It's really very beautiful. Your work speaks with an inner soul, and it seems to reveal who you are, though I don't know you at all. Your description helped to explain why you drew yourself the way you did. I applaud you for your beautiful work.

Thank you for the kind words. I put a little more feeling then my last one i did. Its based off my last self portrait. To show things have gotten better in my life but i am still bare the scars of the past.

I wanna see it painted black, black as night black as coal. I wanna see the sun blacked out among the sky.

It takes a small person to beat a defenseless animal... but it takes an even smaller person to eat that animal. ---> free me <---

:wow: That, my friend, is awesome.

The drawing itself is amazing. And it's so emotive too...excellent self-portrait.

really well done self-portrait. The symbolism doesn't overwhelm the actual picture, nor the meaning. it's important to have a way to reveal yourself without making it completely obvious. Thus, art, no? keep it up.
