Yeshashmudia. The weeks of inventing characters. It started with the queen of diamonds. But my favorite is the queen of clubs.

She’s sweet but she’s always somewhat confused, off in her own world. She’s a bit out of the loop but everyone loves her just the same. Everyone gives clubs a hard time but she’s just a club, she can’t help it. So here she is personified in human form, frozen with buttons on her head and lines from her eyes, wondering what the heck is going on and not remembering where she is supposed to be. And the spade queen is just annoyed with everyone.

And then I moved on to some more detailed editing. Liquify and line additions.

And then the fog came and stayed and I spent time before the blue hour in my neighborhood capturing the atmosphere. 26/365

But as it turns out, I can’t stray from self portraits for long. Who knew they were my favorite? I definitely did not admit that to myself or anyone else until a few days ago.
