I have drawn self portraits periodically for 40 years or so, and lately I take hundreds of selfies, ha, and yet you will always find a dog, cat or flower in my avatar.
No good reason, and I'm not known for being shy, but never went for an avatar of me.
can't explain
I also used to change my avatar a lot on facebook, and everywhere else, but here in steemit there's no chance to rest and draw breath
I haven't changed anything once
I liked your punk one the most, as it's the only one that really makes sense with the dividing line look. I notice that it's also the only one where you didn't actually wipe out one side of your face.
I haven't looked at your link yet (yes, it's open in a tab) (lol) but the futurists were quite an influence on me too.
did you know they were heavily into cycling?
Just checked that link and doesn't go into it much (not at all) but it's true. Balla and Marinetti at least, if I remember correctly (and there's absolutely no guarantee of that)
But as I discovered cycling in my first year at art school, I remember really well the association with the futurists
Back to that punk one, reminds me of "las Chinas" Spanish girl punk band of la Movida Madrileña of the eighties.
Funny enough I now know two of the members of that group. Was in a group show with one, and met the husband of another one through a publishing house that I support and it's a small world after all
well done and big hugs
What an amazing comment! I will never be able to write such a great feedback, thanks! You have a point about hiding the half face and not, punk is a style that is more provoking and I thought this suited the style, thanks for noticing such detail! Cycling, Italy and Futurism is all connected I guess. There are wonderful mountains to climb by bike in north Italy.
Thanks a lot for your kind comment, hugs back!
yes, it's a shame I never got to the Dolomites, or even the Alps on either side while I was able to do it in a fun way.
I have been in the Pyrenees though so that's fun.
I live not far from la Pandera a famous climb that is often included in la vuelta a España and climbed it by accident one day when I first arrived here.
Also la sierra de Madrid has some world class climbs too, but certainly the mountains of Italy are in a class of their own.
Do you live there?
No I live in Sweden but we travel at least once a year (except this year) to Italy or France. Mostly hiking trips, but my husband have been climbing Italian and French alps on bike when he was younger. I love the mountains but prefer to walk:-)
Spain is nice isn't it?
it has it's good points and it's bad points.
depends on the day
lol
