Self Portrait

I started this a little while back. I wasn't happy with it and didn't want to start again, so I cut parts of it away and added new pieces of lino to work on.

I'm much happier with it now.

The “me” I usually see is the one in the mirror, not the one everybody else sees. But I know the “me” inside and I think he looks like the mirror image. So self-portraits are a challenge.

I like how the printing process reverses the mirror image. Is the image that emerges the real me? Do I recognise me in this? Do other people?

This one, I think, is the most me-like I've done so far. So earns its place here.
