The idea of this project is really in the title somewhat. 'Self Help' enables the consumer, viewer to be a little cheeky, and actually ask for a piece of work for free. You would think the concept doesn't really exist, but on many times you do get someone who asks for a free piece!! I guess the original idea came from this concept, as i remember giving talks in Norway for the show 'Peters Army', and after a 17 year old was so bold and was watching me do the first of my now on going drawings. She asked for a drawing of her!!! And for perhaps the only time ever I said yes, and drew her from life right then, in my style.
So it does happen! And I was taken aback by the cheek!! And quite impressed also.
So 'Self Help' really is what the title says, for a free portrait of an individual, and to be a part of the newest project.
