simon bosés

my best friend, simon, is always reluctant to explain his work but you'll have to take our word for it that this really is a self-portrait.

rural pearl

look between the tree branches to find pearl's self-portrait. it sounds like a poem but it's a fact.

michael wertz

mister wertz gets extra credit because his self-portrait is an homage to this self-portrait by max beckmann.

peggy mcdowell

peggy lives in north wisconsin "where all the men hunt and the women do crafts." she painted this self-portrait to affirm that she is also a gun-toting maniac.

christine castro

this drawing of christine is framed and hangs in my office so that i can brag to anyone who visits. "my wife draw that! it's a self-portrait."

(she has dozens of self-portraits hidden in her sketchbooks. they document new haircuts, outfits, moods, and experiments.)

norman rockwell

norman rockwell's self-portrait, one of the best superstar self-portraits of all time, was published forty-eight years ago today on the cover of The Saturday Evening Post.

(eagle-eyed viewers take note of the miniaturized self-portraits of durer, rembrandt, picasso, and van gogh at the corner of rockwell's easel.)

jeremie talbot

my friend, jeremie, was one of the first people that i knew who used a computer to make art. when we were in college, it blew my mind that he had a pc in his dormroom. ten years later, he still has to explain computer stuff to me. this self-portrait was drawn from his apple camera, for example. "what's apple camera?" i had to ask.
