…self-portrait tuesday #2…
Self-portrait tuesday started by the awesome red current. She has a sweet wedding photo up for this week. I did a little series of these photos when I was sad, which is when I take most of my self-portraits. (That's weird.) But what I really like about this photo is my hair. After I shaved my head I sort of let my hair take over. I just let it do really whatever it liked. And it was wild and willing to comply. The time this photo was taken it was soft and fuzzy and just getting a little bit of shape. I have a crazy spiral in the back off to the side and I think that is where the wildness comes from. So here you go, crazy hair and sad eyes:

wow… you shaved your head… was that recently? i love that crazy hair, sad eyes thing you have going on. great pic!!
and i think you might be right on the every other week thing for self portrait day. but at the same time even just showing something that IS you is a self portrait… maybe that is a piece of art or some such. right?
have a great day. it’s good to see more of you!

Great self portrait! I dig the every-other-Tuesday self portrait idea… Found your site through Joanna Wright’s site. You have some great stuff. I love your paintingss…especially the heart one.

I have hair down to my but and I always wish I had the balls to shave my head!!! I love the crazy hair and sad eye, reminiscent of the 80s. very tragic, indeed. ;P

I like the fact that it’s a self-portrait but only half of your face is showing. It’s much more expressive than a full-face, dead-on portrait.
