Pretty self evident...this is a self portrait I did in about an hour. I worked quickly making it because I feel monoprint lends itself to spontaneity and an honesty that is different than my working style in etching, which I feel is by nature a more "careful" medium. Each mark here I feel is very sure, and therefore perhaps more telling of what, (in this case who) I'm describing. I try to do this with as few strokes as possible.
