I neglected to date these self portraits, one which includes such awkward hand placement, but I remember them being during the late 90s. Sometimes it hurts to go back and look at old work. I’d like to argue with my 8th grade art teacher – sometimes there is such a thing as bad art. As @superjules so aptly said, So call me maybe?
These are absolutely beautiful! I see your amazing self. You are and were so gifted. I like who you are inside and out. I am honored to call you my friend.
