self_portrait

now i get to go to sleep in my bed (thanks to megan, otherwise i'd be sleeping on the couch again).

birdmad in pencil and ink on linen paper

one a flattering image the other a grotesque caricature

neither one accurate

the ironic narcissim of self-loathing

johnny west I drew a sketch of myself naked once. Just something I scribbled out quickly. I didn't look at it for a while. One day, fucked out of my mind from no sleep, I looked at it again and couldn't stop laughing. It didn't look anything like me but, in a way, it managed to convey some of the things about me that scare other people. A girl I didn't know snuck a peek at the naked self-portrait, and I laughed even harder. Sometimes I think I wouldn't mind feeling like that all the time - so tired that nothing means anything and everything is painfully funny. I almost feel like I'm outside of myself...ooooooh.....sexless euphoria. 010318
