Extroverted Introvert Multi Personality Disorder

It may be difficult to believe, however I occasionally have nothing to say (i.e., the recent silence on my blog). Now that I've gotten over that recent silence, let's get back to the oral (translated via the written word) spillage.

in·​tro·​vert ˈin-trə-ˌvərt 

: a person whose personality is characterized by introversion : a typically reserved or quiet person who tends to be introspective and enjoys spending time alone

People view an introvert as someone who is antisocial. However, in my case that's not true. I see an introvert as a person who is self confident and one who is comfortable with their own company and doesn’t necessarily need others' adoration to boost their self esteem. 

I've been an introvert for most of my life. I had imagined that I would be forever and in my personal life, that's probably still true. When I first started drawing my Event Caricatures, I was an introvert who drew caricatures. I was completely  uncomfortable with drawing in front of people. One could probably tell from looking at those caricatures. Although they were not bad caricatures, they lacked life. Then something happened. I can't pinpoint the exact date, however a change occurred inside of me. Not unlike when Peter Parker first transformed into Spiderman. Something happened to me. Apparently I have Extroverted Introvert Multi Personality Disorder (self-diagnosed). When I draw my event caricatures these days, a completely different Michael Hopkins emerges. One who enjoys the attention, craves the spotlight and may I say, is probably the best damn Caricaturist I have ever seen! How did/does this happen?? I have no clue, however, from viewing my (his? ours?) recent event caricatures, my other personality is pretty damn good at drawing caricatures…maybe even, the best. Let's take a look at some recent event caricatures Michael has drawn...

I don't know how he does it?? Sitting here in my underground bunker (secluded form all of humanity) and looking at his caricatures, I can't imagine his comfortableness with drawing caricatures in public. 

However, instead of questioning this recurring transformation, I’m just going to accept it and appreciate his (mine/our??) drawings and as well, should you!
