National Selfie Day
“...or so they tell me!”

According to the Twitterati, today was "National Selfie Day". Because it’s always "National <fucking something > Day" on Twatter —and people definitely need more encouragement to fill the internets up with vacuous pouting orange-faced selfies.

But still. If you can’t beat 'em, join 'em. So here is my contribution to the Exhibition of Egoism.

First of all, one I found in an old sketchbook from 20 odd years ago. Probably the last time I tried to draw myself with serious intent.

And, just to show that I’ve used the intervening years wisely in honing my artistic abilities, here’s one from the bathroom wall, which I did a year or so ago.
