Got an A on my art final...

[cooljess76]

Besides being the forum jerk, I have a few other interests that I work on in my spare time. As most of you know, I'm pretty handy with a wrench, I enjoy driving BMW's and riding my motorcycle. I don't really talk much about my personal activities, but I also surf and ride mountain bikes. I used to be into fitness, though I must admit that I've slowed down a little since my best friend was murdered last year. I no longer run 7 miles a day, but thats soon to change after the holidays.

Anyway, before I get carried away, I figured I'd share a little of my creative side. I enjoy cooking, mostly gormet Italian since I lived in Sicily for five years and I also like to sing. Yeah I know, wierd and no I'm not gay. Nor do I have anything against the gay community.

Among other forms of art, I do a little drawing now and then. Currently I'm self-unemployed and attending college. This semester I decided to retake an art class that I had to drop in a previous semester. The final project was a self-portrait. I spent about 2 weeks procrastinating and a total of about 2 hours actually drawing. I finished late and actually missed my last day of class, however I managed to pull it off anyway and turned my project in during my teacher's evening class. She was cool about it and gave me an A.

I already know that I'm an ugly muthafacko, but your comments are welcome, good or bad. Here's my self-portrait done with a charcoal medium on cheap sketch paper:

That's good. I know how hard portraits are. Keep at it.

[cooljess76]

Thanks b.u.ti-ful, self-portraits take a lot of discipline.
