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.

Haven't you ever heard of the saying "Don't shoot the button presser"?

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

No.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

We'll both just have to control ourselves then.

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

That should go well.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Regretting it already, huh?

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

I'm just being realistic.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

You may be surprised.

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

Or I might be proved right.

So what if you are? So what if we argue? It won't be the end of the world. But I can tell you now, I don't intend to waste our time arguing.

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

Do you ever intend to?

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Only if I'm pissed at you. What I mean is, I'm gonna try extra hard to avoid it. Got other priorities that are more important.

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

I'll bet.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

What's that supposed to mean?

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

Not a thing.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

I'm meant to believe that?

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

Yes.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

...You know that I don't, right?

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

Yes.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

...D'you also know this week's lottery numbers?

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

No.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Naw, man, I thought you were on a roll. You got priorities of your own?

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

Maybe.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Gonna share them with the class?

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

Nope.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

How about after you've achieved one? Just a quick, "Hey, that was one of my priorities," would do.
