In No Particular Order


I was eighteen when I did this


sketch I did on the beach in Playa Del Carmen


sketch of Dave on beach in Mexico


sketch of a lady on the beach


I like the bottom half of this charcoal


another lady on the beach in Mexico


me and my butt


torso


I always draw myself fatter than I really am


charcoal


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


me


my face in Mexico


Dave and me


Davey


my mom's face


us


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

Are there any circumstances in which you would sell a signed self portrait? Let me know!

Kimmy Kay said...

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.
