    I must give you props for having the motivation and drive to draw your self portrait for damn near almost 3 years. Incredible.

    ever.



    Thanks for sharing the journey Andrew. I see the Space Needle made it into your self portraits....if this doesn't settle the debate once and for all about how incredibly awesome Seattle is...I don't know what would.
    I self-published a book on the fundamentals of drawing from life.

    This is amazing--thank you so much for sharing it with us.

    Are the two overlapping pictures in the first row intentional?

    You've inspired me.


    I think I'm going to try to do this also.

    Probably won't work out as well as your endeavor though.

    I think someone else mentioned it, but this should definitely be made into a book or something. With some commentaries and stuff... that would rock. Is there any one that stands out as a favorite for you or the most memorable?

    Congratulations, and thank you Andrew.

    Out of curiosity, did you reach the point of not needing a mirror anymore? Or did you always have it around?

    Wow, so cool to see them all together. A true inspiration and proof that quantity matters when it comes to progressing! You should have an exhibition with all these. Call an art gallery, print them out and put them up on a big wall.

    1. Put up on wall in Artgallery
    2. ???
    3. Profit!

    thats cool but maybe you could've made something more out of this, like a big self portrait made out of all those small portraits combined.

    would it be spiteful to ask which one is you're favourite?
    heh heh.

    do you get recognized in public a lot more now?

    You have my deeply respect, Andrew. Thank you for showing us what is possible. You can really be proud of yourself. CONGRATULATIONS!

    I don´t know how you say it in english, but Marko can traduce it for you: "ZUGABE, ZUGABE, ZUGABE!"

    no.


    good lord, how long must it have taken just to get all these images in the proper place on the poster file? I mean, maybe completely wrong, but i compiled 80 small images into a format such as this, and THAT was frustrating to me. now, 1000? good god.

    making one big SP out of all these would just be....pointless. after he's done 1000 sp's, he's got to make ANOTHER one to have impact?


    anyway, I hope I can be as cool as andrew one day, in the meantime, i'm drawin'.

    I'm tempted to say something else, but I'll just say "Holy Hanna . . . ."

    It was a pleasure to meet you (though briefly) at the sf workshop.
    I would love to attend a figure drawing session with you some time.

    luv,
    emily
