Portrait of an Artist

[r_vecchio]

So everybody knows I'm artistic, right? I hardly even have to say it. I'm not into art and I don't know much about art but, you know, when you're blessed with a gift like I am you just can't help but use it sometimes.

Anyway, I did a self portrait online a little while back and thought it was my duty to share it with you all. I think it's...well, I think it will touch some of you out there.





I suspect you're speechless. Just look at it, feel it. The badge, the color, see how I made one of my eyes hazel? The swirl of my ear, the pink kissable lips... I welcome comments and positive feedback but no constructive criticism, thank you.

Because I was bored the artiste in me wasn't satisfied after that, it made me do another one. And because I wanted to experiment with hair it chose Asher. Behold. Again.





I know those of you who really appreciate art at its purest will be angry and sad but: I don't accept requests. I'm sorry.

I don't.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

But I've already had a request!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_classact_/]

Not from me.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Because I've already done you. Okay, okay, fine, you know what? I'm gonna do you again and we'll settle this. It's gonna be the greatest thing you've ever witnessed and you're not just gonna like it, you're gonna love it. And probably commission many more.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_classact_/]

I sincerely doubt it.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Long as you keep an open mind and don't pass judgment before I've even shown it to you, I'm sure I'm in with at least a fighting chance of impressing you.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_classact_/]

Uh-huh...

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Oh no, you didn't...

[http://users.livejournal.com/_classact_/]

What?

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Uh huh.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_classact_/]

I'm allowed to.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Since when?!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_classact_/]

Always.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Talk about double standards. If you're allowed to, I'm allowed to, and I think the last thing you'd want right now is an argument about uh-huh-ing. Am I right?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_classact_/]

Nope.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

One of the last things?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_classact_/]

No.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Do you want an argument about uh-huh-ing?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_classact_/]

No argument necessary. I can say it, you can't. The end.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

You gonna start telling me what I can and can't wear too?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_classact_/]

If I ever did I can promise you it would be for your own good.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Banning uh-huh isn't for my own good. I doubt the consequences of using it would be very big anyway.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_classact_/]

You really want to test that theory? Last time you tried to call my bluff your used condoms got the six word stories treatment.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Ohh, what are you gonna do, Asher? Vecchio uh-huhs. What a naughty guy. Huh? Stop, I'm embarrassed.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_classact_/]

It doesn't have to be anything true. I don't even have to settle for doing it in six words over the 'net. I can embarrass you in public next month.
