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.

Asher. Up there! I did him and he says he doesn't like it 'cause it makes him look like Zorg. Maybe you could try and talk some sense into him. He doesn't even like my self-portrait.

Oh! I try not to eavesdrop when I don't know both parties. Who's Zorg?

It's hardly eavesdropping... He's Gary Oldman, who, y'know, is a good-looking guy too. If anything, Asher should be flattered, right? Yeah. Though, he's not really the flattering type.

Oh, yeah, Gary Oldman's a good-looking guy. Asher should not be giving you a hard time if that's who he thinks you made him look like.

Your art reminds me of a cross between those Hirschfeld caricatures and some kind of modern art. I don't know much about art.

Not on purpose though... Huh, I like that description. You've got a good eye, Will.

Thanks! I don't get told that very often.
