Self-portraits are 1% ego and 99% everything else, and making them means to unpack your mind. Creating these new Neon Blooze pieces have allowed me to turn crushing disappointment and anxiety into a delightfully visual reflection. They're some of my most honest and autobiographical pieces in years, and I'm enjoying working on them. I equally hope you enjoy the final results, so stay tuned for more! - Sal
