The reason that I'm submitting so many pieces lately is because I have my AP Art portfolio due soon. My concentration is expressing burdens in my life through self portraits. So, um......yeah. I usually don't draw/photograph so much of me.

I once heard that self portraits allow the veiwer to see how the artists veiws themselves or how the artist WANTS to be seen. Sometimes it even reveals how the artist thinks others see them. So I would say that self portraits are pretty important! I used to think that it was really vain and prideful in a way. But now that I'm doing a whole series of them, I can see that isn't the case.
