For this first project we were assigned to do a Self Portrait In Photoshop, using at least 15 royalty-free, copyright-free photos. 

We were encouraged to include images that represent our interests, background, experiences, dreams, etc. but no photographs of ourselves.

I decided to do a collage that would represent my personality and the energy and atmosphere I transmit. 

I took a lot of inspiration in the surrealism movement from the 1910s-1920s for my first round of sketches. I wanted the pieces to feel magical and warm.
