My Ideal Self, age 24
[1986]
Taken from an
actual photo, but also put through a sieve of wishful thinking.
The hair is nearly accurate, as is the face shape and nose. Not the eye colour though (mine is hazel) nor the lips (mine are smaller). And what the HELL is up with my eyelashes? Oh yeah, this was after my two year run with the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Outlined in India ink, and then done poorly in watercolour (NOT my forte) and somehow made it through the Fire of 89, most shockingly, with only a few red smears from another piece of artwork.
