Self Portrait

EEEK! I know, I know, looks like a police rendering of a serial killer. My wife calls it 'the portrait of the artist is a big suck.' Still here's my first self portrait. I've been inspired (yet again!) by Cindy, this time by her self portaits. She's particpating in Sparky's "Self-Portrait Marathon", and now so am I.

Another from the series of found drawings, scribblings on the backs of work documents I'm reading on the way home. This one I tried to follow Dalton's advice and colour and play with it a bit after I found it. I ended up colouring a few of them with Leah, using her markers. I've let Leah run over my sketches in the past (literally - you can see some here and here), but on this drawing I think it's just me colouring. The baby is a blind contour of a doll of Leah's, lying on our piano bench. I coulnd't resist drawing when colouring. Sort of how I am when reading work documents.

Blind Contour First Friday - JUNE

My submission for Niff and Sutter's Blind Contour Fridays. If you follow the link and check out everyone's work, you'll see it's a great deal of fun. This month's theme is "My Favorite!" which in this case is a messed up bottle of HP Sauce - my favourite condiment. I imagine this is how the egg sees the bottle before I slop it in it's eye.
