Patrick Laughlin's Self Portrait


I made this on my computer using a program called ArtRage 2.5 (its free, go check it out!). I used simulated oil paint to trace over a picture of myself in layers of dots working from large dots to very small ones for the specific details, this resulted in a LOT of clicking with my mouse. 

This is a piece i've decided to add onto for another class as well. I feel like this represents me because it looks very similar to me and I intentionally left the left side of my face blank because when I was fifteen years old I had a small stroke on the left side of my body. The title will be "Anxiety", I have an anxiety disorder leftover from my episode when i was fifteen.
