Description Hm, this was a little pencil sketch I did about two days before I left England for good.......O, me.

I was lying in my tiny little room, with the window to my left and a long mirror affixed to the closet in front of me. Since I hadn't drawn anything in months, I did a little life-sketch of me drawing my reflection of me. It was hot and sticky, very humid, and the sun was beating in through the window.......

.....sigh. I miss England.

This scan is REALLY shitty. I want to rescan it....maybe I'll get around to it someday.

Wow. That is such a slick idea! It looks like a snapshot of your life ... well I know it is, but I can't describe how cool this is.

you don't capture the humid, sticky atmosphere but instead a soft, cool and calm atmosphere...maybe something that you were wishing for at the given moment ^o^ Anyways, sorry that was kinda a weird comment, but I love this sketch. It's beautiful, sensative; I love your mark making, you're very confident in your mark making. Coooool *o*

haha, it was awfully humid and sticky while I was drawing this. But none the less, I still miss it.

I really like the way you kept the dimensions of the mirror and drew everything you saw in it.

I love the format for this. You don't see many long life-drawings like this. I dig the composition.

Thats really nicely composed, I like drawing from life but so rarely convince anyone to sit still for long enough. I've never tried drawing from the mirror...

I love Bristol...I'm sure England misses you too.
