.Self Portrait 03.
What would my 2k4 gallery be without another picture of myself? I promise I'm not that blatantly narcissistic. They were assignments for school, okay?

Anyway, this assignment was to create a self-portrait that also included an object that was of some personal value. Right off the bat, I thought it would be funny to do my picture naked with JUST myself and the object... But I wasn't sure what my object should be. I mentioned my idea to a guy in my class and he suggested I pose with my skateboard. Rather than using the one I currently ride, I decided to include my old Tony Hawk board. I think it was maybe Hawk's third pro deck... The Powell Peralta version that predates Birdhouse. Anyway, so I posed naked for a photograph with my skateboard and then used the photo for my reference.

Of course, you can't even really tell I was naked from the drawing, so it turned out to be way less scandalous than I planned. *shrugs* Oh well, at least my housemates and I got a good laugh out of it.
