Probably once a year I do a self-portrait. I feel like this is the most accurate one so far, probably because for some reason I used to always exclude my glasses. They take up such a huge portion of my face and have become part of my comfortable identity. I feel like I look ridiculous without them, when they are pretty ridiculous on their own.

Here’s a cute story about my first pair of glasses.

I was in the sixth grade, and I chose a pair with big, thick lavender frames. I was never a fashionable kid, I just knew what I liked, but let me assure you that nobody thought I looked cool but me. The first day I wore them to school, we played volleyball in gym class. I had a terrible crush on a fifth-grade teacher named Mr. Byers, who was tall and blonde and had an A-plus smile and made everybody feel cool. He had a free period, I guess, and decided to come play volleyball with our class. He was wearing a sky-blue Oxford shirt and tucked his tie into it, between the buttons, which I thought was pretty sexy. He stood right opposite the net from me, gave me one of those killer smiles and said, “I really like your glasses.”

I pretty much fell in love.

I've never really thought "oh I wish I had problems with my eyesight so I could wear glasses", but I've always wished I could wear them 'just because'.
Such a gorgeous picture ^^

You can! Don't let anybody tell you that you can't wear glass frames as an accessory. You rock what you want to!

That's adorable and I love the vintage look <3

Also, I have the same pair of glasses as you. Except mine are... what do you call it... tortoise? Basically it's just different shades of brown. I wore them to a carnival/fair-thing and earned myself a couple compliments because they were FREAKIN' AWESOME!

I love this. Your hair is so adorable, as is your story. I don't know how you manage to tell such interesting stories on top of being such an amazing artist. Your stories and comments are so honest and without fluff but always draw me in.

Is there a multiplication and division sign on your glasses?

~lily-fox Apr 25, 2012

Ha ha! There ARE math symbols on my glasses, but I'm a huge fraud because I can barely do basic addition in my head. ;D And thank you, I'm so glad you like my little stories. That was a cute one.

Lol - so you're representing as a math nerd but really you're an arts and crafts nerd. Once they make glasses with a piece of chalk on one side and knitting needles on the other, you'll be set. ^^

You're cute
