Dorian Gray
This is a self portrait from my college days. This pose for this painting was taken from a photo that I snapped on February 26th of the previous year. That date commemorated the 10 year anniversary of the day that I had been hit by a car and instantly rendered comatose. God miraculously saved me from death that day. I took the photo with that 'death escape' in mind. The execution of the painting was done so quickly and with such exactness, that I greatly admired it with. I could not help but draw a parallel from my prideful vanity to 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' by Oscar Wilde.
