"Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter" - Oscar Wilde
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.
