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.

Freehand from a photo.
I'm constantly taking pictures of myself, my shadow, & my reflection as possible bases for drawings. I took this one about a month ago when I was on my art daycation in San Jose, California, about an hour from where I live. I was inspired to draw from it tonight from having recently remembered an older headless self-portrait.

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.
