Self Portrait Expression

Have you ever looked into the mirror and wondered who exactly was the person staring back from the other side? I have never really done any self portraits of myself before; but this piece could be an attempt at one.

I used Illustrator CS3 to re-create myself using vector shapes and just put something together quickly. The mouth is covered with “Don’t Speak” I guess in a way to ironically send out a message about how freedom of speech is not a right and can have consequences.

As a Graphic Designer; to me, this is a reflective piece of art. It is all gray scale, but I feel as though the illustration is powerful in its own way. This could be the start of a simple graphic design collection, or it could be a scrap of work to hit the back shelves. Hate it or Love it…. I love it.
