Lovely how you are getting lost in the texture of the paper. It is like you were fading away... Gorgeous.

You are very "angelic" in this portrait. It is so delicate and beautiful (and I keep waiting for the girls to appear behind you with an ax or something!) Damn you are good.....

Personally, I think every selfportrait, no matter how realistic, tells something of how the artist views themself.


this piece is very intriguing.

angelsaint11 [2008-03-15 13:18:02 +0000 UTC]

Very interesting. May I ask you, is the paper some sort of textured rice paper...or is your stroke intentionally curly? I really like this one.

Bungakerty [2008-03-15 09:10:08 +0000 UTC]

That's different from your usual work. It lacks your subtly disturbing imagery and is replaced with a sublime eeriness. Fantastic.
