This drawing is a response to the epic Large self portrait by Chuck Close. The glasses, cigarette and nonchalant expression in Close's painting have been replaced with headphones, Biro pen and my gormless looking head. I have always thought of Close's skill to be something to aspire to but at times ultimately pointless today.
This Rendering in the lowly Biro and considerably smaller scale at around 10cm hopefully illustrates the divide between our practice.
