I’ve been a little slack on the bar napkin portraits, both in the collecting and the posting. This set is from sometime back in October I think. There are some new attempts by people featured in past entries as well as some new ones making their first attempt at drawing my portrait on a bar napkin with a Sharpie.
So said Jaime Henderson while executing her bar napkin portrait of me. It’s a new school year and that means a new crop of grad students to draw me. Plus I can get some from folks who didn’t draw me last year. I also cut my hair which means the signifiers have changed making it that much harder to capture my likeness in this most unforgiving of mediums. That being the case, I’m allowing people who drew me during round one to have another go at it. So, keeping with tradition, let’s start things off with Nudelman:
This semester I’ve been collecting portraits of myself done by fellow graduate students in the painting and drawing department. All portraits are executed in Sharpie on bar napkins over beers at a bar. Anyone that’s a graduate student in the painting and drawing department that has a drink with me at a bar has to make a portrait in Sharpie on a bar napkin.
