As an aspiring young artist, I often tried to make self portrait's. Unfortunately, there is only so much a seven year old kid can do with crayons and rough pulp paper. So, for the first time in years, and the first time in Photoshop, I have created a self-portrait.
My first idea was to simply create a picture, cut in half, with one side being half of a front view shot of my face and the other half being a side view shot of my face. Then, I took it one step further. I took pieces of my side view shot and cut it up, taking what I consider to be important aspects of myself and imposing them on my face.
That was the easy part. However, after I actually got into Photoshop, I started playing around with the various art and design options.
...As you can see, I went a little crazy.
That being said, I feel that this portrait captures myself; my sense of drama, my spontaneity, my literality, symbolical connections, pattern recognition, and a sense of humor (Somewhere).
