backwards self-portrait
Posted on December 15, 2007 @ 10:28 pm by massimo | Filed under: blog, people, wordpress
The past and present exist side by side, inhabiting the same person. This is my backwards self-portrait, while drawing Aynaku’s illustrations. Usually all I do is to sit behind my desk and concentrate, trying hard to merge into my memories: slowly a sort of transparent vision surrounds me and the image materializes on my computer’screen…
Søren Kierkegaard once wrote: “Life is lived forwards, but understood backwards.”
Illustration Friday’s topic is: backwards
AYANKU’s 2008 calendar available on line

Wonderful concept! And I love that quote by “K.”
Definitely, you look handsome in your backward portrait! hey, i am just joking, actually i like your hair and your backward profile in this portrait. nice quote by the way.
Bello mi piace molto!!! che intrigante interpretazione di backwards … e che punto di vista !
Boy, isn’t that the truth! I love your style and vision, your art always intrigues and satisfies. Love your work!!!
btw I usually work on paintings that are between 12″ x 16″ and up but for illustrations like this weeks it is 1 7/8 x 5 5/8 for this mailer. I like making small illustrations when I can because they are flat and easy to store in my flat files. I am running out of space…
Interesting concept; some people’s back sides may actually be more photogenic than their font side ;).
