My Self-Portrait

Here are some really really crappy pictures I took of a self-portrait I had just finished for my Digital Imaging class. I did all the backgrounds with Adobe Illustrator and I sewed the dolls with felt. (Now, everyone wants me to make them one.. which actually isn't such a bad idea because it's an easy, cheap gift i can give everyone!)





This comic strip portrays me, not only because it's all done in my particular style, but also because the story line is a lot like my life. Whenever something bad happens, it usually ends pretty well. I consider myself a very lucky person. Plus, I love ice cream! (Notice the doll is given mint chocolate chip in the end. My fav!)

I added some pictures of my piece actually hung on a wall. This is when I presented it to my class. It seems mine was very different. I'm the only one who uses Adobe Illustrator. Most use Adobe Photoshop and don't want to go near Illustrator.

You are too too funny...

Your comic strip is really really cute. So you had to do a different doll for each strip! Wow! I noticed a difference in each...even the ones that look almost the same.

Yeah, they were a pain but much much fun! :]

Maybe I should make that a hobby. Making my characters into dolls. I could totally do it... Hmm... Then I'll be compared to ugly dolls. :[

I showed the kids today, and they loved it. They made me scroll through it twice, and I added my own sound effects. Hahahahaha!!

Laura said...

Hahah. That's so cute!

I call dibs on this collection! I want to put it in my girls' room. Wow, Laura, you come up with some creative stuff. And most importantly it's you! But really, I want it!

Uh Oh. Guess you two are going to have to battle this one out.

Whoever gets this piece must agree that they must treat it with the utmost respect, and if one hair is harmed on one of my dolls' little heads, you will pay! Oh, how you will pay!
