this was my roommate's cat, and this self-portrait was taken as a way of making friends.
I believed that if I was a little more on-the-level with the cat, he would be less inclined to climb up the walls of my room and bat at my face while I am asleep.
first, i painted my face with watercolor. then, i grabben the cat and tried to aim the cat at the camera, and the camera at the two of us.
