Selfie Portraits
I took selfies and I created illustrated portraits. Drawing myself was a decent personal challenge. I started with a traditional pose. For laughs I modified my portraits by adding elements related to the moment. For instance, I placed the party hat on my head to celebrate my birthday. The cornucopia and turkey additions recognized Thanksgiving. I think I was watching RuPaul’s Drag Race so I tucked my head into a wig. At the time our city was choking on smoke from nearby wildfires so adding a mask to my face seemed appropriate.
This personal project evolved. What started as a personal challenge to create a self portrait became a reflection of my state of mind in the moment.
