Part 1 of a 2 part portrait series. [The follow up to this series is Dark Angel self portrait] I took a famous statue,rendered it in charcoal,and then with the 2nd portrait drew myself in the same body pose. This series has alot of personal meaning.I started this project right after a long anxiety attack that involved a trip to the emergency room and a prescription to xanax.[and I don' like taking things that knock me out]The wings and darkness are 2 very key symbols at that time in my life. I poured my heart out in this series,and I think it shows.
