Self Portrait - 80's Flashback by Lee Wilde
Charcoal on paper. Apologies for glare on the drawing…..my photography skills leave a lot to be desired.
I came across this photo of myself recently while spring cleaning. It was taken in the foyer of the Orchard Hotel in Singapore when I was 22. I was on my first overseas holiday and had fallen in love with the bustling, cosmopolitan atmosphere of Singapore and was doing my best to look Singaporean! I think I succeeded, because American tourists kept stopping me in the streets to have their photos taken with me!!

I can’t wait to see the drawing!
Yeah Stacy…I’m not sure how to approach it yet. I don’t much like doing teeth :-( But if I draw my mouth closed, it will alter all the muscles in my face. Dang….guess I’m gonna have to get over my teeth phobia.
A also can’t wait to see the portrait. How exciting. Billy
Got the 80’s thang happening there, Lee teehee :)
Yep, drawing teeth always takes forever. But I’m sure you’ll do an excellent job ;)
I’m looking forward to seeing your drawing. You were very pretty way back when but I’m sure you still are now. :)
