Nervous Self-Portrait
If you can’t laugh at yourself, well. . . I did this self-portrait at a time in my life when I was feeling a bit crazy about my future. I’d had a bad run of luck, and was talking to a friend about it. During the conversation I had this image pop into my mind of myself loading up with lucky rabbit’s feet and still turning lemons. Here’s the final result.

Hey AP, I’m a real newbie to Red Bubble. I think I’ve only been here about 2 weeks, so I figure it’s taking time for people to find this slightly-whacked guy. BTW, thanks so much for taking the time to look and comment.

Thanks Gail. Ask anyone who knows me a little and they think I’m the happiest, easygoing-est guy on the planet. Not true. .. but I do have a sense of humor. Appreciate your taking time to wander through here again.

Nice of you to say so Casey. Good to be a modern artist where once the painting flies the coop you still get to see it. : >D Have a fab weekend. Cheers!
