I always draw myself fatter than I really am

Sarah and I got drunk and started crying. Then I drew her.
wide load
drawing of Dave in the dark in our living room.
Ambien sleep
my hair was all wet and unbrushed- it looked too ugly not to draw
lamp, wine, Bambu
I had this framed for Dave
Kitty

my face in Mexico

Davey

girl pissed
unchanged
I did this in 2005, when I was drinking, doing coke and Xanax
2005- up all night. I painted this on an actual mirror. By the time I was done, I was so fucked up that my vision was terribly blurry. As you can see.
this is perfect
druggy
charcoal I entered in the Naked show
this painting took many forms before it got to this. I am so proud.
I did this at seventeen.
I thought charcoal on white paper was very "Naked" - just bare. no colors or distracting mediums.
I did this at eighteen
This is very soft when you feel it.
I think I was nineteen when I painted this one
still a troubled teen
oil pastel
the orchids from Sunday night
I painted this last year in 2006 for my friend's birthday. She didn't seem to care, so I kept it.
This is so much better in person.
this one is very soft too
this is the painting of Dave's Birthday Vase
it has really great texture. it's slick
I'm proud of this one too
I'm getting this one framed for Dave next
He loves the pose
up close this is incredible
I hope it's not lame to praise my own art work
but I really care for it
it is what I love to do
It just feels good to do it
it makes me happy

hi there
just blogged your other blog in here :

thank you

I enjoy your work and its translation. I make pretty things, too! www.gmaglassworks.com
Are there any circumstances in which you would sell a signed self portrait? Let me know!
I think your work is incredible and you are gifted. Why so many self-potraits?
I draw myself not out of narcissism, but only because it is practical. Finding others to sit for me is not easy to do. I also don't like to talk or be social when I am trying to draw or paint. It's too hard to focus on the picture.
i love the one you and dave framed.
the charcoals are great.
again, very reminiscent of a slightly less-surrealist Frida Kahlo.
Your paintings are incredible.
ooh, this one with the green is really great! http://bp2.blogger.com/_9cQMsoVK4xk/RvDpIABUYpI/AAAAAAAAAEc/fJJjZ1MvQd4/s1600-h/9-18-33.jpg
