Craziest shit I've ever pulled off

So I going to be in this exhibition in September. Beyond/In Western New York....it's (obviously) a regional show pulling (supposedly) from places like Cleveland, Toronto, and as far east as........Syracuse? Anyway I finished all of my oil paintings and finally got around to doing a large scale version of my self portrait.

It was a giant pain in the ass, but all around kinda satisfying.

It's 408 beverage napkins stained with Guinness, Wolavers Oatmeal Stout (it's organic and damn tasty!) a cheap bottle of Shiraz and about two tablespoons of graphite powder.....I was going to use cigarette ashes instead, but it didn't work. I needed something to get the darkest parts darker. It's just pinned to the wall using 816 clear push pins.

It's just under 10 feet tall.

I'm insane.
