yellow

ah, this painting is how i feel today. i love this self-portrait by yellow because she left work early to paint it. can we all do that this afternoon?

bethany vanderputten

bethany draws portraits in charcoal mostly but she tried acrylics for this self-portrait. "it's nice to pick up a brush," she said, and the portrait "kinda looks like me."

skulligan

the mysterious skulligan (i can't help but think "the bride of skeletor?") created this self-portrait six years ago. she began another one but it's not finished yet. maybe my the end of the month... let's all cheer her on!

steve loya

here is one of a few dozen "tweaked" self-portraits by our iPal, steve.

henry hughes

one of my all-time favorite drawings is this self-portrait by one of my all-time favorite artists, my brother.

lindsay olsen

i had to bully lindsay into letting me post this self-portrait instead of another nice-but-less-self-portraity drawing. it reminded me of a few portrait exchanges that i did in college when friends gave me drawings, suddenly became embarassed by the drawings, but i refused to give them back. i guess i'm kind of stubborn. sorry, lindsay, but thank you for indulging me. this drawing is so much better for the self-portrait project and the process was weird and fascinating.

mithi shafiq

this is one of about a thousand self-portraits that little mithi's been drawing. i'm tempted to post the lot of them but her blog deserves your traffic. so, i'm restraining myself. (this one isn't even my favorite of the bunch.)
