Pencil Sketch: Self-Portrait Study

by John Lacey on August 29, 2010

Pencil sketch (2B pencil and 2B mechanical pencil) with tortillion blending. I’m getting into the habit of doing a little artwork every single day. Hopefully I can keep this habit up.

Mixed Media: Self-Portrait (Contemplation)

by John Lacey on July 16, 2010

This is a fairly sketchy effort -in several meanings of the word – but I do like it. The way it looks off into the distance appeals to me.

Painting: Self-Portrait (Eyes Closed)

by John Lacey on May 10, 2010

Feeling rather disillusioned today. This painting caper isn’t working out as I might’ve imagined – even with all the advice that it’s okay to suck and that realisation I’ll be stuck in ‘the gap’ for a really really long time. Wondering increasingly if my time might not be better spent in some other way.

Painting: Self-Portrait (Anguish)

by John Lacey on May 3, 2010

Even though this image is quite crude I really feel like it embodies a great emotional truth. This is now how I ‘picture’ personal anguish. When I look at this image I am filled with a sense of recognition. I know what that is in a split second, I know what that feels like.
