Todays word is....selfie by seanoneill

Todays word is....selfie

Now, I just don't do selfies. It is why I never join the get pushed challenge because it is so obvious from my project that I don't do them!!!

So, my good friend and incredibly talented artist Helen Sheldon was commissioned to paint a 5 minute portrait of me on a paper plate, at a few hours notice, with given 10 minutes maximum to paint said portrait. Do you know, it's better than the real thing!!!

Now two of my 365 friends are unfortunate enough to have made my acquaintance, and therefore can testify that I have the perfect face and physique for radio!!
I wanna real selfie, Sean!!! Though this one is pretty fun! I do like your bright blue eyes and your paper plate like complexion;-).

Wow, what a great idea. Good likeness.
January 8th, 2013  
Oh yes! Very good Sean. Your bright and shiny personality shines out of those blue eyes! ;-)
January 8th, 2013  
Brilliant!
January 8th, 2013  
Can I also say Brilliant and very inventive. I need to find a Helen!
January 8th, 2013  
Haha! Makes two of us Sean!
January 8th, 2013  
hahahahaha
January 8th, 2013  
What a great idea Sean :D
January 8th, 2013  
fantastic idea Sean! I did the get pushed thing for a while, but was always terrified that a selfie would come up because I knew that I just would not do it, and I think that that is part of why I stopped. This is such fun, but makes us more intrigued to see the real thing.
January 8th, 2013  
Ha ha... I love it! You sure have beautiful blue eyes!!
January 8th, 2013  
Wish I had thought about that!!! what a fab idea :)

January 8th, 2013

January 8th, 2013  
Cheeky... Lol
January 8th, 2013  
Ha ha ha, you are a star!
January 8th, 2013  
Very talented. I'm not a selfie guy either, so I think this is a great idea.
January 8th, 2013  
Brilliant idea - great selfie!
January 8th, 2013  
You Ol Blue Eyes you!!

You do yourself down Sean, go for it. Just about to add mine!
January 8th, 2013  
@ccb International man of mystery!
January 8th, 2013  
I just love this! I don't join the get pushed challenge for a few reasons and selfies is the main one.
Are your eyes really that blue :-)
January 9th, 2013  
@kjarn I guess my eyes are a little less blue than on the screen, but not far off :))
January 9th, 2013  
Are you related to Rolf Harris? To begin with, I thought it was a self portait he'd painted!
January 9th, 2013  
@rhos He is my uncle Ann, but then, isn't he everyone's uncle?
January 9th, 2013  
@seanoneill You must be part Welsh or Australian then, Sean!!
January 9th, 2013  
@rhos Almost certainly Ann. I'm not 100% sure though, it was dark when we left!
January 9th, 2013  
Great "selfie". So you do have wonderful blue eyes, do you?
January 9th, 2013  
@noragentian My wife tells me I have Ruth.

Perfect! Love it.
January 9th, 2013  
Highly amusing!
January 9th, 2013  
Brilliant! : )
January 9th, 2013  
Great though this is, we wanna see the real you Sean! @soboy5 has manned up (despite his protestations). Seriously though, this is a very creative and original idea for selfie, so we will let you off!
January 9th, 2013  
@jackie8 Thank you Jackie! Search hard enough in my project and you will find me lurking in a big group. Search even harder and you will find a shot of me that a fellow 365er has posted!!! For reasons of national security though, it is better that I stay in the shadows!
January 9th, 2013  
@jackie8 and @soboy5 and his selfie is even more reason for me to stay in the shadows!!
January 9th, 2013  
haha, a great shot and a great idea! I don't do selfies either, unless it involves my feet or the back of my head!
January 9th, 2013  
lol.... very nice selfie!!! I hope the real you is in colour though!!! ;)
January 9th, 2013  
Great selfie, I'm with you I never take shots of myself and if people shoot me I usually delete me out of the shot.
January 10th, 2013  
I'd recognise you anywhere now...!
January 11th, 2013  
hahaha, what lovely blue eyes you have!
January 11th, 2013  
Rofl! Paper plate, should have used porcelain!
