Materials and Methods
Nikon D80 + 50mm F1.8 Nikkor + IR remote + 2 second timer so I could use both hands. Dark brown fabric hung in the background with tape. 88 shots to get the composition right. Black eye liner to draw the eyes and smile. It's been awhile since I last drew on myself for a photo; I forgot how hard drawing on uneven surfaces with my non-dominant hand was
GIMP for post editing. Grunge detail extraction protocol. More curves to tweak contrast and colors. Additional Comments
Redoing a really old concept. Interpret as you wish.

Hidden pain and frustration covered by a facade. The concept screams out like the person wants to do. I like it a lot. It's simple and neat with meaning.

the first thing i thought when i saw this was a kidnapping was taken place, the hands didn't seem like yours, and the face seemed so unwilling somehow, like it was struggling. the second thing it made me think of was this [link]
which is funny since it goes with the quote you wrote on the bottom

Why not just draw using GIMP? Well for various reasons. 1. Because that would be photomanipulation

"It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets."
--Voltaire
Nice signature. So, that means that your are only allowed to kill in the napoleonic times? Cuz they killed in large numbers to the sound of trumpets.

It's a metaphor basically saying that war is murder
