In which I draw myself every day and post it to this blog, along with selections from 30+ years of self-portraits. It's alot to look at, here are my favorites.
Having crab for dinner this evening reminded me that we all went out for crab at O'Brycki's last time I was in Baltimore. All in this case means me and the fabulous sculptors Trisha Kyner and David Friedheim.Labels: 2008, Media: Pen, Process: From Photo(s), Style: Coloring Book, Style: Contour Lines, Subject: Eastern Seaboard 2008, Subject: Narrative, Where: San Francisco (Florida St.)

Artist, Analyst, Aikidoist, Alexander Technique Teacher-Trainee. Artist: I've been living, working and exhibiting in the San Francisco Bay Area for almost 20 years. My subject matter ranges from portraits of people and animals to almost abstract paintings of plant forms and light. I paint in oil, acrylics, & watercolors, with oil paintsticks and watercolor markers, and with digital media such as pressure-sensitive tablet and Studio Artist software. I draw with anything I can get my hands on - sticks on wet sand and fingers on frosted windows, chunks of wood freshly burnt into charcoal and children's toys such as etch-a-sketch and magna-doodle. I also take landscape, figure, animal and street photographs, have played with printmaking (mostly monoprints) and have dabbled with sculpture in steel, wood, clay and neon.

I've been following your blog for a while now (I love your self portraits), and I just had to comment when you mentioned Baltimore. I live here in Bawlmer, and though I haven't yet been to Obrycki's, I've heard great things. :)
Thanks, Meredith - I'm always happy to hear from my fans! It got too late tonight but I hope to do a watercolor version of this one some time this week... so stay tuned! I used to live in Baltimore but I was a strict vegetarian at that time - so I didn't get to try the whole crab event (it was alot of fun!) until I came back to visit.
If you didn't see my mention of it a few days ago, you may want to check out the piece I just had published on this Daily Portrait Project at Women's Voices for Change - the link is on the main page below my profile.
Thanks again for commenting and for taking the time to look!
Julia
