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.

Janice Wilkins

British artist Janice Wilkins has recently re-enacted a Emmeline Pankhurst speech outside a shopping mall - donning a "Votes For Women" T-shirt, as the speech was taking place, she asked women shoppers whether they had voting in the last election.    She rarely paints - so this selfish portrait is a real treasure.
