I’ve been thinking about this project for the past few months, figuring out how I want to represent myself. I made a number of self-portraits in my 20s, especially when I was drawing more, but this will be the first I’ve done in 5 years. You know, I think I look the same.

It starts with thinking. What is a portrait? And what is a person? What am I?
Tamara Hala
I’ve been so busy for the past several months that I haven’t done any art at all. When I agreed to do this project, I didn’t anticipate that.
Brian Jerome
I used to say everything I do is a self-portrait, so what does it mean now that I’m going to really do a self-portrait?
Britt Miller
I let most of the summer go by without doing this self-portrait. My procrastination now has me a little panicked, not least because I’m unsure of my drawing people. But it’s time.
Jeannie Moberly
I don’t really make portraits, but I’m excited to do this project. Immediately I think of the only other one I’ve done, when I was 26, in watercolor.

First step: taking a photo. I’m going to do a full-body shot. I’ll do it crouching on top of my table with an orange curtain draped behind me.
