About this artwork
This artwork is an homage to Chuck Close. I don't do many self-portraits but one of my influences is Chuck Close and he is famous for his self-portraits. I wanted to do one but in my style with a nod to him. I opened the dot patterns and used larger pens and cotton swabs to apply the ink. The work comes more into focus at distance.

Ted Washington is an award-winning American draftsman whose works have been widely exhibited in the United States. He employs stippling techniques in the creation of his realistic portraits and abstractions. What makes Washington's method so unique is that he employs differing point sizes when stippling. Over a ten year period, his compositions changed from being dominated by white to black. His striking pieces are created using pen and India ink on paper.
