georgym Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 I think everyone can relate to that one in some way or another... the overwhelming panic and nonassurance of the situation, the streaky colors expressing disillusion, the 2 strangers in the back signifying worry. I could say my inner feels the same way at times I'm going to have to go with abstract expressionism here, in order to define my inner self:I'll go with Jean Michel Basquiat. His colors, graffiti influence, and sense of childness-playfullness is SO me Here's a few of his works: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crackorn Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 I would have to align myself with a sculpture instead, if that's OK. You know the one with the guy sitting with his chin in his hand? That always reminded me of myself, forever engrossed in inner conflict that unfortunately has yet to be resolved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neptune1 Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 really i think my inner self might be a roided up guido, so maybe a painting of myself in bulked-up condition would be best... i can take a picture of it and put it in my sig...
