You are invited to contribute a self portrait to 'imagining ourselves'.

It should be a black and white still image made without the use of digital/photographic methods and materials

(acceptable = ink, pencil, charcoal, paint;  not acceptable = computer, photograph &c)

It should then be photographed or scanned and e mailed to

portraits@somedancersand musicians.com

( the technically challenged can mail me for a postal address!)

It should be no smaller than 400 X 300 pixels and in the proportion 4:3

Please also include your name and what it is you do ( and how you interpret this is up to you!)
your city and country of residence and if you wish, a URL to which you would like me to link your image.

Technical skill is not key here, you do not need to be "good" at drawing/painting to submit - just do your best. If you do happen to be a Picasso don't hold back, that's fine too.

Thank you - I really look forward to displaying your contribution.
