Artist's Comments

I come bringing...old schoolwork?
One of last summer's projects~
We were supposed to imitate M.C. Escher's crazy genius art and do a self-portrait, basically like Escher's own: [link]

It was kinda fun~ I used this inversed mirror my dad brought home from his school (he's a science teacher).

This is the closest you'll get to seeing a portrait of me :evillaugh:

Charcoal, approx. 3 hours

I love Escher! You have done a wonderful rendition of his piece! Very clever to ask your dad for a inversed mirror. A successful artist uses all of the unique tools and resources at her disposal.

Thank you very much!
Yeah, at first I had no clue what to use for a reflection; most spoons are too small and too blurry, and I don't have shiny globe-things sitting around...so the mirror was definitely helpful. :D
