Description

Our class had the assignment to draw a self portrait of what makes you, you as opposed to drawing a face because, lets face it, traditional self portraits tell jack about the artist.

-agent smith from the matrix- 1. love that trilogy 2. i have a tendency to like villains as opposed to heroes 3. he's just badass.

-man of la mancha- you would not believe how much of that was part of my childhood...

- mario mountains being wrapped around musical notes- 1. mario again 2. those hills have eyeballs, thus they are alive. they are being wrapped by music notes: "THE HILLS ARE ALIVE WITH THE SOUND OF MUSIC" (sound of music was part of growing up for me too)
