I plan to, from this week forward, post a self portrait every week. I am not a fan of flattering pictures of myself so the portraits, like the one above, will never be of a well lit smiling face. I imagine most will be a quick cartoon of myself in varying styles of illustration. I am not an illustrator, so expect no gold.
The reason I dislike favorable pictures of myself most likely has to do with some self esteem issue I harbor, but the explanation I give generally is that I view a proper portrait as a type of selfishness that I don't feel I need to indulge myself in.
I've been told I'm a contrarian, but maybe I'm just right and everyone else is wrong. I'm sure that's it...
