Illustration-A-Day, Number 2
by serena
Copping out a little bit with a self-portrait. My fake front tooth fell out this past Friday while I was watching a tennis match. Granted, it was already fake (a goofy accident 5 years ago in Prague was responsible for its initial damage). The tooth snapped off where it originally did. Thankfully, it was already root-canal-ed, and I was spared the pain.
I walked around New York City like a pirate this entire weekend, and can’t say it didn’t make me feel extremely self-conscious, even embarrassed. The dentist squeezed me into his schedule tomorrow. Downside? I don’t have dental insurance. All part of perks of being a freelancer.
Here is my only voluntarily posted visual evidence of the missing tooth.
