This ended up being an expressive self-portrait.
The mask on the face is a symbol of how I view certain things about myself. I'm blinded to alot...yet I feel insighful. I speak...but no one hears me. People see me as this...cliched object...but i'm different.
I feel like I'm stretched thin; always trying to strive and do the impossible...but I feel like I fail. I feel like I try to do too many things that I can honestly take.
Kim recommended I bold the lines in the "matter;" I would have, but I was afraid to touch this after it was finished.
The blur effect was created unintentionally and I nursed it to create a nice shadow/silloette effect.
Maybe the smeared colors mean I feel like I'll be eventually forgotten...I don't know.
It turned out really nice though.

I can see how this is a self portrait of you..it resembles you in alot of ways. I love how well blended it looks...and the white/gray things holding his arms and constraining him to the piece look almost cloud-like. This is a wonderful piece Quinton...I admire it alot.
