You’ve gotta be pretty brave to face this fella everyday! This is a self portrait I did in 2009, and have gone on to use in promotional material since. Lots of staring into the mirror and sketching went into this one. Drawn and painted free hand in Adobe Illustrator via Wacom tablet. Click the thumbnail to enlarge.

Self portrait huh. You are a beautiful illustrator and an ugly man.

@Bearman, I do not disagree. Neither would my wife. ;-)

There is a vague resemblance, in an odd and sort of creepy way. But you are of course much cuter. Very well done as always. And nice site. I will be back to look around!

Thanks Chris! “Cute” isn’t something I’m accustomed to being called. Now I feel dirty. :-P
