Artist Statement Illustration: A Junior Self-Portrait Illustration by Anthony Lazzara (2011)

My 2 opposing characteristics are persuasive and misunderstood (due to being persuasive). People think I may be manipulative but persuasion actually works in my advantage. It gets me what you want and convinces people.Of good and bad things. A persuasive person makes a successful business person, which I hope to be someday. Persuasive people can be misunderstood as manipulators which is why there is a puppet on a string attached to my hand which represents the influence I have on others. The puppet represents others who are persuaded by me who may feel the negative side of persuasion, hence the x shaped eyes.
