I think it is part of the human condition to constantly worry about ourselves and that we are always looking inwards to find our true selves. This image is many things; self examination, introspection, self help, self analysis, narcism and egotism.
As animators I think the best stories come from deep within. Like our fingerprints, we are all unique, and if we look hard enough at ourselves, we can find deeper meanings about the ourselves and the world around us.

This man is someone I can relate to. I’m not sure why I made him, but he seems like someone I’d like to meet with and chat about life, the universe and everything. He is certainly not a pretty man, but he seems quite comfortable in his skin.
I always like people who are without ego or any sense of embarrassment about how they look. He seems like a very optimistic person, who no matter what the circumstance, would look on the brighter side of life and find silver linings.
