Self-portrait calendar

All these self-portraits were finally exhibited at The Bradshaw Arts Space at Dundee University.
The event went really well and feedback was excellent.

Here are the portraits in a monthly format.

Another 12 portraits

It's been an interesting time away in Orkney. Research trip was a success and I have now experienced the winds on the island... lovely people and amazing stones. More of that later.

So....
Only 5 more portraits and a whole year of them is complete. I am a little nervous as to how I will feel at the completion of this milestone. A threshold crossed and new beginnings.

October - halfway

Now has come the time when I need to be producing a flyer/poster for my exhibition of my self-portraits... Have I started, no.
It definitely becomes more difficult when there is no-one to bounce ideas off. I will persevere though.
For now.... more portraits, taking us to halfway through October and two weeks left to go until the final. Not sure how that will feel, but I will let you know.

The last day of the penultimate month of a year's worth of self-portraits... proper countdown has begun.

Not quite sure how I was feeling today, scattered thoughts.

Twenty-ninth day of September

twentyninth

A quick sketch but the interesting thing about this piece is that I drew it with my new pen.
I made the pen after looking at a calligraphy book by Denise Lach. Apart from the calligraphy being totally inspiring it showed you how to make a 'cola pen'. (There are other soft drinks cans available)
It is very easy and the results are lovely for writing. The drawing side of it is just an experiment but I must say the different line thickness available is excellent.

Nearly done with September

7 days left of September

Yes... 7 more days of this month left and then it's only one month to go.

I have been in contact with Exhibitions at my university and they have agreed to let me exhibit the whole 365 portraits in November. 

Very excited!

Although it is going to be scary to see that many versions of myself. Also getting feedback from others.

Here are portraits up until 23rd September.
