      And diet. Maybe it’s booze, that does a number on your vascular system.

      Like, he needs to see a doctor.

        I wonder what blind people call recent doctor visits. Like they wouldn’t say “I saw the doctor about that mole…”. So what WOULD they say?

      I went looking and found this: https://www.queenstreetstudios.net/artists/ian-cumberland/

      So his physical skin looks in much better shape. It’s symbolic I guess, or else he’s Dorian Grey.

      I’ve never seen eyeglasses so clean

        Two days ago, I read The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole, written as if it were the diary of a boy growing from age 14-16 through some turmoil. Repeatedly throughout the book, he references his “disfigured skin.” Eventually it’s revealed that he’s a “normal, average looking boy.”

        Probably mostly because of how recently I read the book, this self deception was my first thought on seeing the self portrait above.

        Oh, he looks normal in that picture. Whatever it is, he’s an incredibly talented artist.

      Is that one of the new Crayola colors? I remember when they renamed “Skin” to “Peach”. Which is insane. It’s nothing like a peach.

    It’s realistic, but you can see strokes. Really like the style!
