The explanation comes from the title, or the title comes from the explanation of the face. Either way, this face is both giving a very ambiguous look. I didn't have any conscious aim for the look it is giving. What does it say to you? The other explanation for this title comes from a saying … Continue reading Well, That’s A Look
Don’t Label Me
This odd drawing started as a female figure until I realized that I am more and more adding male features and lines to my cubist inspired images. It raised questions about how we, as a society perceive gender and the reasons some of us have come to accept for the definitions. It is becoming less … Continue reading Don’t Label Me
The Window Worker
I won't go into too much detail about this one. The many times I rewrote the description, I realized how condescending I was sounding. She is a vain person who is looking at herself in the window of a department store. As soon as I labeled her as a window worker, the boobs being out … Continue reading The Window Worker
Looking Down On Oneself
Another self-portrait? Not entirely. The figure is decidedly choosing the perspective from which it is looking at itself. Removed and from above, it can safely criticize itself and feel simultaneously better than the subject and worst about themselves. it begs the answer to the question "are we ourselves?" This odd figure, with its Ichabod Crane … Continue reading Looking Down On Oneself
Self-Distortion
I'm lead to believe from all the books I'ver read on self-improvement, that most of us really don't see ourselves as we truly are. This self-distortion emanated from us, and influences how others see us, thus authenticating our self-perception while further concretizing a corrupted self-perception. It's a vicious circle that always starts from within us, … Continue reading Self-Distortion
The Eternal
Perhaps it's due to the recent obsession with Marvel movies and what's coming next in the MCU, or perhaps it's just the way the hair looks like the flames of a garden gas torch, but when I started the process of editing this little face, the words eternal flame came to mind. It somehow looks … Continue reading The Eternal
Thoroughly Unimpressed
At first it was a copy of thickly painted oil painting, and I was getting frustrated at the great details in the original. So, I decided to let go and just doodle it. What came from it was a simple, even silly expression on the new face, that I am not sure was intended on … Continue reading Thoroughly Unimpressed
Subtler Thinking
A facial expression caught in time can move well beyond the moment to reveal some of the past and give a glimpse of the future. You, the observer, will decide the feelings that go along with the expression. I have a theory that if we got a hundred reflections on this expression, we would get … Continue reading Subtler Thinking
Subtle Thinking
Doodles and sketches inspired by the endless cornucopia on Pinterest has become a joy for me. I decided to let go of my terrible self-criticisms and let the ink brush transform the source materials and inspirations into whatever it is meant to be in my hands. While editing the image to share, I find myself … Continue reading Subtle Thinking
Rough Selfie In Anger
Dark moods are occasionally hard to control and I've been swimming in one hell of a dark mood lately. Talking about it isn't giving the relief. Working out isn't either. Writing helps momentarily. I just feel really heavy in my heart and feel angry about not getting out of this mood. This doodle feels close … Continue reading Rough Selfie In Anger
