Description
This is a self portrait I did for a World AIDS Day exhibit, dealing with my own infection. I think it's a good, strong portrait for my devID, which is obviously why I'm using it. that's about it... hand-printed, of course. it's also my first shot at hand coloring; thought I'd start simple, I guess.

Thank you! for the scarf I actually just used a tube of old watercolor I had laying around. People typically use Marshall oils and pencils to handcolor photos, but I didn't have any and they are quite expensive.

Well first off "y" isn't a real vowel, and secondly i know i rock... duh!! And what can i say, i am comfortable with a lot of things in this world, and maybe my past would surprise you??

I'm truly sorry to hear that, but I really admire the way that you aren't letting it devour your life and you keep producing work.

Really good. Maybe the use of empty space is a little exagerated, but then again, Im not sure if thats a bad thing.

thank you! I wasn't really trying to convey depression, but, rather, standing alone or being apart. It's also meant to touch a bit on acceptance of the situation, with me putting the scarf on.

Wow! That's awesome and a strong statement. You Rock Lefty! I think you did a good job with the coloring for the statement you wanted to make because it stands out so well. I can't think of much to critique really...
