This is what Brian calls his "Abstract Self-Portrait". It was created in response to an assignment in his art class. The students were to produce a self-portrait. Brian did two versions: this one, and a straight pencil version. They were completed near the end of September, 2001. The original of this one is done in colored pencil, and measures 14 x 22 inches within the mat. These are not very good reproductions; I will try to get better versions in the future. We have the original at our house. I will leave the interpretation up to you. It is the portrait of a young man living in fear.
