self portrait


this was supposedly said by ibrahim ismail zaiden, a postman in baghdad, iraq. i think his middle name *ismail* is a little too convenient. it is, however, a perfect likeness of me. it's one of two self portraits i have done. i'll post the other one tomorrow. this isn't an envelope, but, i am thinking of ways to create greeting cards to go with the envelopes.

  1. Oh, this is wonderful, Jean - and what a great quotation! I guess this means I am going to have to go back to putting something inside the envelopes as well as on them. . .
