Did you say... Seeeeeelllff pooorrrtraaaiit!?
My portrait:
Made through Illustrator I wanted to express myself sitting and modeling for the viewer, my face is plain, and you won't begin to see texture until you look below, my pants and boots are all textured, but my face is not, I'm directing you away from my identity. I want you to look past me and see what's behind me, I like to mold things out of black and white, I wanted to emphasize my passion for digital arts, so if you look at the splatter paint you will see a T for my name.
Explaining myself through poem! (Grab some popcorn, and prepare to snap your fingers!)
"I'm a storm of bubbles,
a cut of a hydra's head.
My ego is a dog off it's leash,
running happily like a river downstream.
I overreact like a teenage drama queen,
in hopes to feel true joy.
Drugs and narcotics don't hook me down,
but my mind drags me around.
Big moments feel small to me,
I try, and try. But I won't succeed.
People ask never to change,
and I couldn't agree more.
I'm Tyler,
an illusion no less,
because inside, I feel much less.
And overall, I hope I win this contest."
Oh! While I'm at it, here's a song that expresses the mood of my poem:
