I got back from a two week acting workshop in London, a couple days ago. Last night I felt like scanning some of my sketch work (which I don't have much of). I played around with filters and layers for a bit and this image came out from the original and messy ( I got mad at it and ran my charcoal pencil over it) self portrait... I'm tired (amongst other things) so I'll make a long story shorter... At the workshop, I quit smoking. However, I haven't quite finished the thoughts that pertain to my addiction. I only realized today, after a good night's sleep, that my image reminded me of a cigarette. Even though I quit, smoking is still in my head. I'll get it out eventually. I had trouble giving this image a genre... Enjoy, ask, criticize, etc. Cheers, James
