This is a self-portrait.  Thought it may only appear to be a crude outline of a person, it was formed from an actual photograph of myself.    The violent rapid splash of colors conforms with the Neo-expressionism art style popularized in the 80s, the decade in which I was born.  Recently I’ve become very interested in the revisiting of the culture from that era, and represented myself in that style as a result.  Furthermore, I find this colorful vibrant representation of myself considerably more than the uninteresting reality of my appearance.

  1. Good stuff, Josh. Strong statement. Minus that whole "uninteresting appearance" thing. :) Keep up the good work, Basquiat!

  2. Uninteresting? For future projects I would suggest you display more of yourself. Red heads are few and far between, embrace it!
