Self Portrait with Neck Rings

This started with me messing around with drawing from a mirror. I genraly have to be dragged kicking and screaming into drawing myself but I wanted to try drawing a different angle and mine was the only available face for reference. As it turned out, I discovered that I actualy don't mind drawing myself when its such an odd angle, anyway. I liked the skectch and so I painted it!

The symbolism of the neck rings: I like neck rings. Ha ha! To be honest, thats about as meaningful as it gets!
