AS SOON AS YOU'RE BORN YOU START DYING

Oil on canvas 30X40cm

This is my first self portrait. It was supposed to be darker, almost in a grey scale but somehow it ended up like this. Maybe I'm not that glommy after all. I tooke inspiration on Jenny Saville's huge paintings. If you don't know her you must check out her work. She is amazing.

SAD LIGHTS

Oil on canvas 30x40 cm

This is lighter than it shows here but it is hard to take a good shoot when it's still wet.

I painted this over Stephen Magsig's City Lights #28. What a great painter. What great pleasure I had on this one.
