Self Portrait

Often, I am asked how I do my drawings, so I decided to create a drawing that illustrates my process. I didn’t realize how successful the illusion was until an older gentleman came up to me at an art fair and discreetly told me that I had accidentally left my photograph taped to my drawing! At first, I thought he was joking,but I had actually fooled him into thinking the drawing was real. This incident opened my eyes into the ways I could play with reality in my pencil drawings— the gentleman had a much greater impact on my career than he will ever realize!
