This will be my most magnificent work to date. All the plaudits and prizes will pale into insignificance next to this masterpiece. A photograph of myself pinned to the easel, I work feverishly, driven to finish quickly.

…and so it is complete. My final and best piece of work. The ultimate self portrait painted in the ultimate medium; my own life’s blood.
Posthumous fame will follow… I can rest in peace at last…
