Description
Latest drawing, a self portrait...portaying both a physical and mental likeness.Charcoal and conte on gray paper.
Ever feel like you're trapped within your own body...within your own mind...like being in a cage that you can't escape from? Can't escape yourself, confined to the point where it's literally hard to breathe. Can't control yourself, your thoughts or moods, as you watch helpless behind bars while something else takes over. and all you want to do is tear yourself apart to try to get away from yourself.
I don't really know how to describe it properly in words, which is why I created a visual image of the concept...

Haha. Mine does too, I find. I've got to take some time to upload some of my abstract paintings. I never seem to find time for it though

I know what you mean, haha. I'll go forever without uploading anything because I'm too busy, then I'll suddenly throw in a bunch from the past month or so xD

I know exactly what that's like,
and I think you described the feeling perfectly in your artist comments, and portrayed it beautifully in your art.
I love the shading, and the pointed edges of the rib cage. Great job.
