Artist's Comments

I did this painting after I had finished my series of self-portraits for a figure drawing class. This one was completely imaginative. It somewhat resembles me, so I guess I'll call it a portrait. Perhaps it is me after having encountered some horrible radioactive substance. Watercolor on paper, approx 12x17".

Wow! This is fantastic! So... gross and bloated, and the colors really confirm the sickness of yours in this portrait (post-nuclear experimenting). What inspired you to do this? I absolutely adore that bottom lip. That's some crazy shit there, man! You have a lot of imagination, and you don't seem to have too much trouble visualizing it, either. Awesome.

That is pretty fucking excellent. Great detail around the eyes. I also dig how it sort of disintegrates and splits into the separate colors around the edges.

Watercolors are my only true friend...

Thank you so much! I wish I could paint everything I visualised. I have so many pieces I can't post, because my idea turned out to be a pile of crap. That bottom lip is pretty sassy . . . I guess my inspiration was the series of self portraits I did. I had looked at myself for so long, I wanted to see what would happen if I just used the residual image in my head.

Indeed I have. He is really awesome, all that melting . . . My school has a few of his works hanging in the museum, the originals are quite a sight to behold.
