A series of mounted black and white photographs I did for a pocket charm book im making. Historical photographs of tattooed femmes I admire, Marsha P Johnson (godmother of queer rights), Whang-Od (the oldest living filipino traditional tattooer), Georgia O'Keeffe (one of my favorite painters. And a series of semi nude photographs of myself that I thought were powerful. One of me with my knees bent seated on the ground in a pair of velvet platform strappy pumps. One of me on my knees in bed in a mesh floral robe smoking a joint. And two of me in sunshine in my backyard wearing a black mesh dress, my breasts are painted with sunlight, im holding a wish flower in one and crossing my fingers in the other.

Late night lettering & a self portrait. Pencil, pen, paper, drinking lots of coffee, hating stupid FOMO trends, trying to become a teacher, worrying about money. "being the world's nicest jerk." #CreateDontScrape #LessonPlanning #humanartist #saynotoai #typography #selfportraits

After Egon Schiele https://www.artic.edu/artworks/185076/

For over forty years, Sherrie Levine has addressed issues of authorship and originality. Appropriating images from art history—often citations of works by male artists—Levine considers the relationships between authenticity and subjectivity and desire and power. For After Egon Schiele, the artist photographed reproductions of eighteen self-portraits by the early 20th-century Austrian painter Egon Schiele.She did not alter the original images but recontextualized them through the act of appropriation. The finishedwork is at once a copy and an original, authored anew by Levine. Commenting on the choice for these particular selfportraits by Schiele, she explained, “There is something in his eroticism that strikes a chord. Partly it’s the selfconscious representation of his own narcissism.”

Weeks of self-portraits taught me the technical reps. Now I’m taking a tentative chiaroscuro style into real sessions—with a 5-point portrait checklist built to help build the human connection.

After weeks of self-portraits, I’m taking my chiaroscuro style into real sessions—using a 5-point portrait checklist to build connection and consistency.

Just what is it that makes today's selfportraits so different, so appealing?

Working on this set went surprisingly well! The warmth of the bath felt nice and didn't cause too much trouble this time (my previous attempts at selfportraits with water were a lot of chaotic!)

I'm very pleased by the soft yet colorful atmosphere I managed to get 🤍

Same location, same outfit & makeup; 18 vs 56 mm lens. I love how different the vibe of the photos are. Which one do you prefer? 😇
