this started out as a boredom self-portrait a year or so ago...

then a few weeks ago at my small group, our application was to make something artsy that reflects how God sees us.

immediately my thoughts came back to that picture, because earlier that night I'd found it in my sketchbook and had updated the hair and face and shaded in a bit, and actually started cutting out words from various magazines that I thought described me, words that I thought God and others (compliments friends and family have given me...) would use.

I thought it was a crazy coincidence, since some of the words were very Godly, so I figured I'd turn it into, well, this. and I like how it turned out :]

PLUS I kind of need a new I.D. so it alll works out.

watercolors, magazine clippings, pencil, colored pencil, paint marker. you can probably tell which is used for which and all that.


uuuurgh. the pink watercolor at the bottom didn't show up.
...AGAIN.
