Recently I have been doing a lot of self-portraits. In general, it is easier to draw old people with their wrinkles and slack skin. My style often leans towards caricature, so I’m more concerned about catching a feeling or context then an exact likeness. I’m a bit wary of painting a person like the human condition is profound and a meloncholy expression means some sort of depth. I hold a cyncial view of humankind. I do like to show figures in what are at times chaotic, entropic, and aesthetically interesting environments.
