Graphite sketches of expressive cartoon-like self-portraits filling two facing pages.

Self-Portrait Sketches

Graphite pencil on paper, 2005
Visual description

A two-page sketchbook spread filled with graphite drawings of exaggerated, cartoon-like self-portraits, each with wide eyes and varied expressions, from grinning to shouting to grimacing. The left page includes decorative lettering spelling "Jolynn" and "Thad." The right page includes a full standing figure, a pair of hands, a car side mirror reading "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear," and a small circle marked "2005."

I sketched these self-portraits based on how I felt during 2005. I've been thinking about doing another set someday.
