This self portrait. It was created at the time that was, let's say a bit dark, bit confusing.

I looked at it and I don't know why I thought it needed something else... it needed further...

...information.

When I felt the need to write the basically the counting down of the years.

Essentially, I just wrote ‘Five’ on there because I was just about to enter into the fifth year of...

...the madness.

The reference art is, that’s from a photoshoot for Dior with Jean-Baptiste Mondino.

He’s got a great eye, and the great thing shooting with Jean-Baptiste Mondino is you’ll never look at anything,

any of his photographs, any of his work where the subject’s eyes aren’t somewhere else or you see something behind the eyes and Mondino is...

he’s kind of a master of that kind of thing.

That whole time as much as it was painful, Dior stuck to their guns and that was incredible.

If you can read in the eyes something that can affect you, if that can have some effect, and they see some sort of truth or whatever in there, then,

because you know, it's not the most comfortable thing, doing like a self-portrait.

Although in a weird way, like I said, almost everything you do is a self-portrait in one way or another.

I would sit with a mirror and just sketch myself and I would do that for a while, you know, different days, different light, different angles.

I mean, I appreciate portraits of people that really are just as life like as a photograph.

But, unfortunately we have been living in the times where you may as will just take a photograph if that’s what you’re looking for.

So to be able to kind of drag out whatever the figure that represents to you that it shouldn't look, I don't know real in a way it should be...

It should just be some expression.

Spit it out as it gets spit out.

Here’s the information: Meant to be released the 20th of July for a limited time.

How limited?

I don’t know.

And for every print, $200 will go directly to Mental Health America,

which is a wonderful facility and it's an extremely deserving cause they do a lot of great work there so yeah,

200 bucks from every print will go to them.
