This is my 2011 art project: I'm going to attempt to do one drawing every day of the year. The drawings can be any medium, any size, any level of care and completion. I'm looking forward to seeing how my work evolves and improves, and whether this practice helps me to be more organized and "together" in the rest of my life pursuits.

October self-portrait
The first of the month, self-portrait day. I'm getting pretty tired of looking at myself, which is why I look grumpy. I used colored pencil on Canson pastel paper - not a great choice, but I wanted to start from a middle tone.
Quite an expressionist portrait - with the unromanticised fatigue and bruised colors... you look less grumpy than very, very tired and edgy.
