New hair, who dis? . I got unicorn hair for spring. My goal was to look as much like an anime character as possible. It took 6 hours, done by Joel at The Bobby Pin salon. . . . #100dayproject #100days #hair #pulpriot #pinkhair #twotonehair #pinkpurplehair #animehair #brighthair #hairtransformation #myself #selfportrait

I have no idea why fire keeps coming up so often in this #100dayproject but it seems to be a theme in my art right now. Maybe I feel like I’m burning something down and building something new? Maybe I feel like my life is a trash fire? Maybe I just like sparkly things? Who knows. Here’s today’s surreal selfie. . . . #fire #thisgirlisonfire #fireportrait #sparks #flames #girlonfire #the100dayproject #100daysofcreativitme #100days #365project #selfie #selfportrait #photomanipulations

I left the sport of figure skating 14 years ago. I was never a world class skater, but I was certainly better than your average bear. For someone who got picked last in every single gym class, it was an athletic activity that I was actually naturally talented at. I trained 25 hours a week in high school. I did moves called death drops, death spirals, and flying camels. . I even tested to the highest level in one discipline (the ‘black belt” of figure skating footwork- senior moves in the field). I competed. I split open my chin several times. I won medals. I got tendonitis in my knees and screwed up my shoulders. I even trained at the same summer ice training camp as Michelle Kwan and Sasha Cohen (and still have the t-shirt to prove it.) . . But the sport is expensive, sexist, and homophobic. It’s also not really meant for people over the age of 20 or so. So I left and did other things. But every year or so, I have an existential crisis related to returning to the sport. I always talked myself out of it - “it’s too expensive, you’re too old, you won’t be able to do it anymore, you’re 20 pounds heavier than you were back then.” . But 10 days ago, I made a different choice. The voice in my head that wanted to land a double lutz again was stronger than the voice in my head that told me I wasn’t bendy or young enough anymore. Maybe it was watching too much of @jvn learn from scratch. . So I’m sticking a toe in the water. Or should I stay, a toepick on the ice. . We’ll see how it goes. . . . #lloydcentericerink #figureskating #adultskater #adultfigureskater #contrast #lighting #skating #skaterselfie #movesinthefield #pivot #camelspin #skating #iceskating #figureskater #iceskater #lloydcenter #the100dayproject #100daysofcreativitme #100dayproject #100days #365project #selfie #selfportrait

Head in the clouds. So, in the nick of time, I decided to join up with #the100dayproject again- last year I did a bunch of data art - check out #100daysofqs to see them. This year I’ll be doing 100 days of creative self-portraits. I miss the #365days community on Flickr that I was active in for many years, and maybe this will encourage me to break out the camera and the old photoshop brushes a bit more. Do NOT follow this for realistic self portraits because this is gonna get weird. . . . #100daysofcreativitme #selfportrait #selfie #pastel #clouds #headintheclouds #100dayproject
