For Ma

My mom's birthday is today and because she knew I was gonna be a poor piece of shit once Manhattan spat me out concluding my internship, she wanted something I could make for her rather than something I could buy, which in this case was a self portrait with as much color as possible. I guess I should thank God that I can get away with kind of stuff as opposed to my siblings. Now I can focus on my own art! And writing! And my editing assignments! oh god please kill me

And before my irl friends/watchers ask, yes I used my Facebook profile pic for reference. I didn't have the colored pencils to do this on paper.
