when i was younger, my family and i used to have portrait parties. we would congregate in the living room every few months and turn our attention from person to person, drawing everyone in the room. it was such a pleasure and so normal in my life that trading portraits became a regular event when i left for college, when i moved to new towns, when i met new friends or favorite artists. tommy kane suggested that it would make a good website. so, that's what this is... AND YOU'RE INVITED!
i don't know how artistic movements are really formed but i love the fact that most of them emerge from a circle of friends or classmates or rivals. fauves like matisse (above) and andre derain (below) are a great example of all three.
