FIRST IMPRESSIONS Tough Love Part II

SELF PORTRAIT
(another addition to tough love series)
 
 
 
 
 
I want this particular song to set the mood for this piece. 
It expresses the idea of my journey as an artist. 
I look back on my history as a person who loves unique music and people.
Just like this song, this portrait takes on a few different tones and values.

(Acrylics x Oil x Pastels x Pen/Ink x Digital)
For this portrait I used all the mediums I have the most fun with. 
This approach makes the self portrait more me because I love texture.
 
The Background symbolizes a warm but foggy cityscape
The Textured suit symbolizes that I've seen many jobs and always kept it professional.
The cowboy hat on top hints at the fact I've traveled a long way because I move around so much.
The red box is reprsenting my portfolio suitcase.  At every interview I look forward to presenting my work.
 
Tough Love is how you learn and become better
