Description

My submission for the V-Day contest. Yes I know I haven't posted in a while. Shut up.

Anyway, supposed to be "a portrait of me", in 11x11 pixels. Okay, says the intrepid artist, what the hell? So I could have gone a few directions with this - a cartoony 111-pixel caricature (which seems to be the most common route), a "realistic" one with a three-pixel face (which I have seem a few of - not exactly attractive, but certainly artsy), or a more abstract approach.

This has a double meaning for me. As an artist and generally imaginative person, I've always felt that the "outside" world is dark, gray and generally boring, while the "inside" world of my mind and heart are so much more vivid.

Then there's the fact that this is the Valentine's Day contest. This was my first V-day with a real boyfriend, and for the time I've been with him I've been generally happier. Life used to be gray, but with him it's full of color and joy. He makes me laugh, he makes me think, and he makes me feel warm inside.

So yeah. :) Therefore, this picture is dedicated to Jimmy. Happy V-Day everyone! :heart:
