My face 'when bitcoin is going down' - Esteban's first portrait of me

![IMG_1314.jpg](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/samstonehill/SFGqwLqq-IMG_1314.jpg)

Can you see the squiggly line under my face?  That's bitcoin going down.  Esteban was very clear on this point when he created this during breakfast today.  

I particularly enjoy how he has given it a 3D feel by drawing on top of a smudged layer beneath.  Completely intentional I'm sure ;)

Am not sure however if I should congratulate him on this masterpiece or be concerned that his perception of me includes a bitcoin chart!  

Okay, I do have a screen in the house dedicated to watching bitcoin (and other charts) and when things are going up I can be quite vocal about it, which seems to give him just as much pleasure as it gives me.  He checks in on me most days to ask 'is bitcoin going up?' and doesn't like it when I answer with anything except yes.

## The evolving artist

A month ago I drew a face in the condensation of his bedroom window, seen here.

![IMG_1192.jpg](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/samstonehill/3ZbOxeOD-IMG_1192.jpg)

Since then he has wanted to draw his own faces every morning upon jumping out of bed.

![IMG_1191.jpg](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/samstonehill/CeOoQC5m-IMG_1191.jpg)

I enjoy that he has a style of his own.   

![IMG_1203.jpg](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/samstonehill/b7BpxrQZ-IMG_1203.jpg)

Quirky ;)

Now that Spring has arrived the condensation no longer appears so we switched mediums:

On the ipad.

On paper.

On the whiteboard.

![IMG_1227.jpg](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/samstonehill/VGReoWTg-IMG_1227.jpg)

Is that a bitcoin chart I can see on my screen?

Yep, can't imagine why he sees me the way he does!

It is obvious from your portrait that you need more happiness.
Just think, now is the bestest time ever to buy bitcoin.

All signs are pointing to the next bull run, and so, buying now, you don't have to wait for a year to see returns.

Of course, you are probably living off your cryptos, so that is a bit worrying.

To me it looks like I'm smiling a bit ;)

I do think you are right and when I have spare fiat I know what to do with it.  

Thankfully we are not living on crypto at this time. In a month I begin a job in the UK where I will film the construction of a huge solar farm in York. [One last job](https://steemit.com/christmas/@samstonehill/christmas-came-early-have-just-accepted-big-film-job) in my old world before the bull run should put us in a decent position ;)
