Self Portrait



Well after I looked at a few of Julian Opie's images for the last post I decided it'd be fun to do one of my own, since I haven't done it for a while. I think I've been fairly successful. Some of it is a little blocky but as they say, bad workmen blame their tools, and this is no exception! I would like to place blame on the built in laptop mouse because it's damn hard to get a smooth line with such things.

But anyway! Excuses aside I think this is a fairly good crack at it. The thing with Opie's work is that as soon as you try something in the same vein you realise that actually it's not so simple at all. This portrait taking me the best part of an hour sat clicking the mouse away and a few hundred points of the pen tool on illustrator.

EDIT: Man, my hair looks a mess O.o
