Portrait of me by a friend (pic thread?)

[skygazer]

I have a long military style trench coat and a felt hat that I wear during the winter and one of my co-workers, a little Chinese lady who barely speaks English, loves it. I've been out on disability for the last week and when my SO went in to shop, she gave him this for me. I love it!

Post a portrait of yourself that you love, whether drawn or photo. Please.

18. Very cool

I'd never have the patience to figure something like that out!

[Ava]

21. neat-o!

[Ava]

19. here's my beautimous artwork!

i drew this a few years back during class one day.

:rofl:



I'm oh so talented! :P

[Aristus]

20. Everyone has such great art! Mine is just a photo:

My favorite pic of me (it was taken in 1994) :

[reyd reid reed]

22. Here's one of me and my oldest son that someone drew

when he was about four years old.

[spacelady]

23. Now THAT is a talented 4 year old! Couldn't resist

[Oeditpus Rex]

24. Day-um!

That's really purty. :loveya:

I wanna see it bigger! :bounce:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

25. Courtesy of cleofus1:

[Oeditpus Rex]

26. I just love that

It looks so much like a '30s-'40s advertising sketch. Very minimalist.

[ScreamingMeemie]

27. I've got nothing. But all the portraits and sketches are beautiful.

:)

[tjwmason]

28. Figurative self-portrait.

At least this is how I feel at the moment...perhaps Shostakovich when one's tired and grumpy isn't such a good idea :crazy:

[ScreamingMeemie]

29. Well, that either woke me up a little bit or made me nauseous...I'm

not sure which. :) And I found one I did of me...

[tjwmason]

30. All went according to plan then.

Even in such a small computer picture your beauty still shines through like the radiant sun.

[ScreamingMeemie]

31. I never realized I had such a strong chin...until I drew that.

:rofl:

[Rabrrrrrr]

32. Here's that nasty, mean Rabrrrrrr

[cleofus1]

33. my heart went out to that grumpy lady

so i whipped this out on ms paint...no scanner hear at work...so i had to make due
