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 sincerely doubt it.

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.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Just like the condom thing wasn't. Please, you embarrass me, you embarrass yourself by being seen with me.

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

I don't embarrass easily.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Really? So you won't mind if I walk around with half a cigarette stuffed up each nostril then? 'Cause I seem to remember that embarrassed you last time.

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

Can't do it without making yourself look like a fool in the process? Amateur.
