subtle revolution

"There are two kinds of revolutionists, as of most things- a good kind and a bad. The bad revolutionists destroy conventions by appealing to fads- fashions that are newer than conventions. The good do it by appealing to facts that are older than conventions." (G.K. Chesterton)

self-portrait



Here is a series of sketches that I've done in the realm of self-portrait. There are some images that are straight from my sketchbook that show the variety of ways I've viewed myself. The first image is the most recent. It is a good likeness that I drew at around 2:30 one morning when I couldn't sleep. It needs some refinement, but I am satisfied that I was able to look into the mirror and draw a self-portrait that isn't hidden in caricature like my earlier prep work.
