I like to make portraits. This weblog presents the photographic and painted portraits of me as subject. I am the creator of this space - but I have out-sourced the art-making. I act as curator. The people providing images form a community of people that I would like to, or have already, painted. Selfish Portrait provides common ground with me at the centre. In creating a portrait of me - these artists are creating a portrait of themselves.

Lord Malloch-Brown


Fitting that the first offering is by an international statesman who asked me to pose in front of a portrait of him that I had painted. George Mark Malloch Brown, Baron Malloch-Brown, KCMG, PC is a former UN Deputy Secretary-General and former British Minister of State.  Mark was made a life peer in 2007.  This portrait was made on 19 November 2010 at the photographer’s home in Chiswick.
