I swear to you, I’m not an insane person who loves myself so much I have a website where I post pictures of myself. I mean, that’s what LookBook is for (although I was tempted to make an account of myself in my usual, scruffy charity-shop clothes there as a counterpoint to all the fashion-obsessed teenage girls – I just felt that it wasn’t going to be a great venue for my form of humour).
I got the idea for doing self-portraits from the talented artist Mike Mitchell, who said that he learned to paint by doing it. His style is a very attractive sort of cartoon-based form which can also produce really realistic images, and I’d recommend a nose around his site.
