Self-Portrait Illustration

My company's design team held a self-portrait illustration contest. This was my winning entry.

I gave myself a few guidelines about what I wanted: + I wanted to play with textures + I wanted it to be fun and colorful + I wanted it to represent interests and attitude more than physical appearance

How those interests and attitude where represented: + Head / Torso: Shift from 2D perspective to show 'Open Mind & Open Heart' + Hands: A Ying-Yang with one throwing 'rock out' and the other 'hang loose' + Headphones: Working in an office, I always have headphones on + Legs: A lotus position refers to my ongoing effort to be mindful and present + Background Wall: Been looking at and drawing lots of graffiti at this time,
