On both Saturday and Sunday morning I woke up to find several self portraits in my sketchbook which I had very little memory of creating the nights before.  My usual style is fairly clean and precise, so I always find it interesting how free and careless my drawings are whilst under the influence (and how narcissistic my subject matter is).
