i've done a lot of these. some are in my gallery here at artdc. but i totally have an idea for another one that i've been meaning to try and might actually have time for tomorrow... we shall see.

some cool stuff here, by the way. i love self portraits. you can argue that any piece of art is really a self portrait, but it's fun to see what artists come up with when they know they are distinctly portraying themselves...

Thanks for saying so, angelakleis. I've been meaning to check out the topics about the problems of artists, but there's so much here I feel like it'll take me months to explore it all.

Anyway, I hope to at least have the charcoal sketch up here today sometime.

This is really cool!

I am a part of a project on Flickr called 365 Days...a self portrait a day for a year...today is 116 for me.

Here is a link to my set:

And here is my fave out of the bunch so far...I call it Naked Without My Music

That is so cool! I'll have to check that out and maybe participate! That'll get my ass into gear...

Grab the camera, take 10 snap shots that you think represent how your feeling, and pick one!

I just found my old self portrait from 12 years ago when I visited some family in Florida over the holiday's. It's kind of cool to rediscover your own old artwork that you'd almost forgotten about.

Art Outlet will do a self portrait show later this year. Keep in touch, JW.

We are looking for 30 artists selfportraits. The show will be including a panel discussion, which we intend to broadcast online. Off course, there will be other performers as well.

Keep it real. Henrik

Any idea when-ish? (Like...spring, summer, fall?)

Erin Antognoli · « **Reply #28 on:** February 12, 2007, 03:33:20 PM »

finally, something to share!

both taken in adams morgan last week. i usually don't shoot people with my holga, but an article i'm writing about holga photography in dc wants a photo of me, so i figured i'd better do it...

I like the last one the best! You're having some fun!

angelakleis · « **Reply #30 on:** February 12, 2007, 03:37:31 PM »

Those are awesome! Love them!

So...I decided to crop your picture, Jesse, without the eye...but did it in Charcoal. Check out:

(I dont have the stuff with me to finish the shirt (erasers)...Im at starbucks...just happened to have a net connection, camera, charcoal, paper, laptop, and cables with me right now, heh. At least the coffee drinkers were entertained )

i just noticed this part... i think this is a really cool idea. to make portraits of each other. i've actually been pondering a project of making portraits of dc area artists, but am still trying to figure out the medium (kind of camera for me) and what i want to come of it. when i get my act together, many of you will be getting a summons from me

but i think it could be cool if we all put our own spin on portraits of each other.

and in reference to something posted earlier than that about what makes a self portrait, anything with you in the photo that conveys a mood or feeling is a self portrait. it could just be your hands, or feet, or an eye, or whatever. the way that it's done is what tells us about you as a person. anyone can back up and make a head and shoulders shot like a yearbook or something. it looks like you, and that's about as far as it goes to tell us anything about you. the photos jesse posted tell me a lot about the state he's in and how he sees himself and his life at the point in time when they were made. they go above and beyond a physical likeness and actually *say* something about him.

so where are all the rest of the self portraits? let's get to work, people!

Yesterday we went downtown in the snow and I shot a roll on the Holga and developed it last night. I don't have the way to print right now at home, so I just scanned it on the regular scanner and reversed it in photoshop. i actually like it and I'm usuallly washed out in pictures anyway, so it's pretty damn accurate.

That's fun. I like the cross hatching effect.

Me, after 5 miles. I'm trying to convey the feeling of tiredness....
