Collage Self-Portrait... Still In Progress

Paper collage

I tend to work on my personal art projects with bursts of intensity that last for a few hours, and then I abandon the projects for... a while. The amount of time I abandon them for usually depends on whether some third party is expecting to see progress or not (if they are, I keep working), or on how many nitty gritty details I still have to complete (if there are too many, I procrastinate). That is why this particular project is still unfinished: no one is expecting me to finish, and all of the work I have left is nitty and gritty. My progress certainly slows down increasingly the closer I get to finishing. I am supposedly almost done with this self-portrait, but I still have some details to work out– mostly I need to add subtle shadows and correct some lines and curves. It could take a while before I finally decide to call it done. In the meantime, enjoy this work-in-progress!
