These are the six self portraits I composed over the last week or so. It began with the pencil sketch positioned at 12 O’Clock and proceeded clockwise from 5 O’Clock, ending with the watercolor/marker sketch at 1 O’Clock. I put a lot of thought into these sketches, tapping my prior experience with self portraiture and my visual attempts to picture my relationship with my autistic brother Mike, who was low functioning and nonverbal. I believe Mike is a big part of my makeup, which is why he figures prominently in how I picture my self.
