Oil paint self portrait

Self Portrait in oil paint with fine liner text (under toilet seat)

At the beginning of the toilet seat project I experimented with different ways of creating the portraits, including oil paint.  I felt that my skills with pencil were much stronger than oil paint, so didn't take the oil paintings any further than one self portrait.
