Paint pouring ✨

I want to be a model so for fun I started up a sketchbook full of polaroids of myself. Something like a film modelling portfolio. A lot of collages but with my polaroid self portraits always as the crux.

I was going to make it say “the limp wrist is the hallmark of the f*ggot” which is a misremembered William S Butroughs quote (“There is a junk gesture that marks the junkie like the limp wrist marks the f*g”).

I wrote and submitted a lot of poems with it, so it felt special. I wanted to honour it ig.
