Have you ever looked at yourself objectively without trying to rationalize or put on blinders or trick yourself into seeing the you from some time in the past? Well, I gave myself a good once over today and shortly after I sketched this. If only what I drew had any resemblance to what I saw, I'd 'almost' be happy. This is a 6 by 4.5 inches gel pen drawing. It's what an old crooked man who calls himself Original Jones Art does to justify his existence in northwest Austin, Texas.

I'm a follower Nietzsche he teaches to really to look one and like oneslf

Artist Reply: I've always preferred to be me rather than someone else, Ray. And, like poor Nietzsche, I believe a person has to find his or her (or its) own personal reason to live. If you don't carve out your own niche your walking someone else's, don't you think? :)
