One of my best art teachers over the years told me once that she does one self portrait a year, and it’s a good way of staying in touch with where you’ve been/you are/you’re going. Wanting to explore Live Paint and the Blob Brush in Illustrator today yielded my first self-portrait in going on 5 years now… very interesting. Want to start another one now!
Sweet! Do you take requests? Would love to see a self-portrait of you…as a Jason Munn concert poster!
Thanks for the kind words Yosh, always looking for ideas or concepts to practice on. Munn is the man isn’t he? He is never lacking for a concept behind the art too; it kills me. Thanks for dropping in bro!
Hey Sean,
I’ve known your mother since I was 7 and your father since the early 70’s. We use to play guitars and sing together in what was probably some of the best and creative times in my life.
I am an art teacher and my self portraits take place every 5 years as I take a photo every day of the year. Oh the changes.
I have met you before when you were quite young.
I really enjoyed your self P and will probably follow suit in the annual painting exercise. Thanx

Hey Chris! Thanks I am flattered, especially coming from an art teacher. Your name rings a bell but I can’t say I remember our encounter, it must have been before the little red light was on in my brain.
I’m a graphic designer these days so it’s rare I get the time to actually draw for drawing’s sake, but I am trying to make space for it in my life. I too play guitar; my dad taught me in middle school and I never looked back. His singing and playing is so great, I normally play lead over him when we all hang out.
Thanks for dropping in! Send me some of your work, would love to check it out.
Peace,
Sean
