Thank so much!

Comments: Fernanda and me became friends because of her father and found out we have a lot in common, including drawing. We're both Brazilians, but I'm now living in NYC and this was a great opportunity to draw "together" although we are distant now. Thanks!

Hey Rama,
I realised tonight, probably whilst emptying my bladder of a large quantity of Californian Chardonnay, that there is a form of portraiture which hasn't yet been covered by your site.
Let's call it 'The Portrait Slam' (as in a Poetry Slam) where two individuals take turns at (fondly) demeaning each other through satirical gags of a visual nature.
This can be seen in the follow back-and-forth between myself and Cuffe on IFN.
First the Cuffester does his en-garde move by portraying me in my naff PJs (http://illustrationfridaynight.blogspot.com/2007/01/truth.html)
I counter with him pleasuring a crocodile (http://illustrationfridaynight.blogspot.com/2007/01/steve-irwin-cuffe-discovers-that-there.html)
He then gives me the voodoo treatment (http://illustrationfridaynight.blogspot.com/2007/01/sorry-steve.html)
And I tell him where to put it: (http://illustrationfridaynight.blogspot.com/2007/01/forget-cartooning-cuffe-gives-naked.html)
To be honest, most of the ladeez on the site are quite happy to give Cuffe his cuffeupance (http://illustrationfridaynight.blogspot.com/2007/04/cuffe-gets-his.html)
And perhaps realising he's ultimately doomed (though aren't we all) Cuffe commits illustration-hari-kiri on himself (http://illustrationfridaynight.blogspot.com/2007/02/cuffe-and-devil.html)
BTW. I know you're mainly a portraitist, but we'd love it if you could spread a bit of Rama sometime on our IFN-toast.
Regards
Steve

Hi Rama! Since finding out about Portrait Party I've started 4 projects with friends! Unfortunately they're all a little slow. ;) But now I've got two portraits to share! Hope you like:

Hello dear Mr Rama
Got another prozacville portrait party thang going on here. Bite your own tail did a pic of me here (http://biteyourowntail.blogspot.com/2007/07/sea-sea-and-some-other-things-too.html) and I responded by having her come as her chosen pill-avatar to live in prozacville forever (http://prozacville.blogspot.com/2007/07/maybe-i-am-gay-originally-uploaded-by.html).
It's always good to have my nuts as close to me as possible.
Do you think you could also update your sidebar link to my latest blog (prozacville.blogspot.com). Ta. I'm linking you to pville tonight as well.
If more people got together to re-present each other and drink tea and eat biscuits and share and laugh, there would be a little less depression and loneliness in this world, I think you'd agree.
Hugs
Steve

Hi Rama,
I didn't do either of these, but they're of two of my greatest friends.
Jordan Vogt-Roberts and Tony Fader drew these pictures of each other on napkins, and I saved them. I thought this might be a nice venue for the images, and I took it upon myself to submit them because they would never do this themselves. Anyway, I think they captured each other pretty accurately... For better or worse!

Hi Rama,
I love the new portraits of you and Jeanette.
My friend Jessika finally sent me her portrait of me tonight.

re: my friend Amy, above...she is the most wonderful person to draw and also the most intimidating, as she has HUGE, disarming doe eyes and is also an amazingly talented artist. we met in 1991 at summer governor's school where we studied visual art together. she one of my favorite people in the whole wide world.
I actually didn´t want to join the contest as December has been pretty busy and most of our family sick too. But then the past few days I suddenly had time for doing 8 portraits of the list. (But without all the siblings and the enemy I could only complete 4 requirements of the list.)
a parent (my mother), a child (my daughter), a sibling (my sister, my brother, my second brother),
a significant other (my husband), an enemy (selfportrait;))
All the portraits are posted on my blog, because non of my family (except for my husband) has a blog.
mistake... i did 9 portraits in 4 categories.
hi

Hi Rama!
Here's a self-portrait from a recent series of "tweaked" self-portraits:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/flyingturtle/2245322025/
expect a swap in March!
Searching for a partner... if there is anyone that hasn't yet hooked up or is looking for someone new to be a partner with. i would be willing at this time.
i'm so very new to this site so please get in touch.
hi abitamist,
i'm sure you can find someone who would like to trade portraits with you among the MANY interested artists listed HERE.
if you'd rather wait for someone to contact you though, you should leave a message on that same page and BE SURE TO INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS.
Here´s finally my portrait of you, Rama. ;)
Names: Heidi & Anna
We found each other through this site and decided to trade. I (Heidi) started out with a pencil sketch of Anna, but decided to do something different. Anna's version of me turned out beautifully. You can find both portraits on the hidbdesigns site.

Hey Rama, Your portrait party looked FAB! Hopefully my birthday one will happen tomorrow (fingers crossed!).
In the meantime I'd like to share these that we did as part of drawing module at college last week. My drawings of Charlotte are here:

Hi Rama
It's been too long since I've submitted anything :) Finally I've found someone willing to swap portraits, I'm so excited that my sister Wendy has decided she wants to learn to draw, she's jumping right in! ignoring her fear and even giving portraits a go, yay for her!
here are the first of what I hope will be many more to come :)
Wendy
and
me
and happy Birthday to your blog!
Cindy
Names: Joe Haldeman and Judith Clute
Judith and I have been painting together occasionally for years -- she's a professional artist in London; I'm an amateur in Florida. I found out about the Portrait Party on my blog at sff.net, and so we sat down and did a pair while we together at the International Conference for the Fantastic in the Arts Saturday.

Thanks!
Joe
Judith painted this picture of Sharon without her knowing it tonight in our painting group. To get even, Sharon painted Judith while she posed. We've been painting together for years but this is the first time we've painted each other. We did these quick sketches for the Portrait Party.

Here http://arokerartist.blogspot.com/2008/03/portrait-party-entry.html are our portraits. I blog at http://arokerartist.blogspot.com/ and Amy blogs at http://amzyart.blogspot.com/
we decided to work using the same pens and paper, so that our drawing styles would be eggagerated when you look at the two next to each other. It was great fun, even though we only found out about your site yesterday. Thanks for the chance to participate.
Melissa and Megan
Melissa was my art teacher and has inspired me to do art since freshman year.I probably wouldn't be doing art today if it wasn't for her.

We both took on this challenge after saying to eachother "Don't hate me" once we showed eachother's pictures.lol.
Hiya. I don't know if you received our details on 29th March, so here they are again (my cousin Amy is very excited about joining in with this & she'd make my life hell if I didn't post the links correctly.
Here are our entries, both on my blog here http://arokerartist.blogspot.com/2008/03/portrait-party-entry.html We decided to both work on the same pastel paper, using black and white ink pens, and 2 tones of grey brush pen. This way we worked using similar techniques, so that our drawing styles would show through when you compare the two portraits.
Thanks, and we'll be sure to do this again. Great idea. Steph (Yellow - A Roker Artist) and Amy (Refound inner Art self at http://amzyart.blogspot.com/)
Hi there.

Nel painted me here:
http://nelseverydaypainting.blogspot.com/2008/03/portrait-party-swap.html
Nel is an amazing painter and she has been a great mentor to me when I started doing oil paintings. I'm loving painting beautiful expressive face. We've never met in person, only via our blogs and emails.
Jana here (again).
I also did a portrait swap with Rita who I only know via the web through Nel. You can see my picture of Rita here:

Hi Rama,
This is my first time in Portrait Party. Thanks for hosting!!
PP gave me an excuse to approach my partner Laujinga through the Illustration Friday site.
We've never met and only after getting connected that we discovered we both can communicate in Chinese.
Love the way Portrait Party get people connected!!
Looking forward to doing more.

Hi Rama,
I just finished teaching a "Drawing for Illustration" class at Madison Area Technical College (Madison, WI). Part of the "figure" portion of the class was devoted to "You Draw Me and I Draw You," after I saw the article about you in "The Artist's Magazine." So...we paired up, took photos of each other in class (Adam hammed it up especially nice as you can see), and did each other's portraits for homework. Here's 2 pairs of results (another pair coming later), links copied below. Thanks for the super fun project!

Hi Rama.
I made this post over at the flickr group but wanted to share here in case you aren't checking both. There is some interest in doing a large scale international portrait party using the japanese fold moleskines. Some folks like "black vampire" and myself are members of both groups
www.flickr.com/groups/moly_x/
Would anyone like to do a special edition Portrait Party Moleskine Exchange? I was thinking each person starts with a Japanese Fold Moleskine, draws themself on first page, maybe includes 2-3 photos in the pocket. Each artist then draws your picture in your book and a self portrait to go with it.
It seemed like a neat pairing of ideas and of course I will bow out of the organizational aspect if either Rama or Marty (moly x admin) would prefer to take the reigns.
Hi Rama...It's been awhile.
Arindam and I traded portraits posted here
Other portraits I've posted for the Portrait Party last year were under my silly blog name, Switchsky. You can call me Switchsky or Fern. Whichever.
Hello! I am Krista and my partner was Paul. We decided to paint in oils in the renisance style. I painted him in a Frans Hals-esque style and he painted me as the girl with the peal earing. Had a blast! They can be seen here http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=1005346&albumId=1580097

Hi Rama,
I posted both portraits here: http://kerstinsklein.blogspot.com/2008/07/portrait-of-arindam-goon.html
Arindam posted one of the portraits at his blog too (July 2007), but hasn´t got a post title, so I do not know the link. http://arindamart.blogspot.com
Hi Rama,
When you get back from your break, I was wondering if you could help me. I am getting so much spam in my email box, that I was hoping I could change my 2 posts on the portrait party "find a partner", so that they do not show my email address in the usual way. I want to show it as nadinebozek(at)sbcglobal(dot)net. I can't figure out how to change or delete my two older posts. Thanks , nadine

Hi Rama and Christine,
the party joined: Michael Nobbs, an artist from Aberystwyth http://www.michaelnobbs.com/
and Clara Charlotte, a design student from Germany. We met on twitter and connected because we both like Danny Gregorys Books. Luckily it was easy to talk Michael into having a party with me :)
Here are the portraits we drew:

Here you have a portrait of one of my daughters, Lucía ,who is a difficult model to portray because she is always running all over the place and she hardly ever sits down. I took advantage of a moment she was having a rest after a stressful afternoon and I drew this portrait you can find in my blog :http://diegojimenezmachado.blogspot.com/
I hope you like it.I will send you one of her drawings of me in a couple of days.
Hi,
Feel free to post some of my portraits. I like doing it but this is the first time i heard of the portrait party's. Great idea!
