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!
here is my most recent self-portrait. i drew it to document a poorly grown beard before i shaved it away. the detail that surprised me most is the rogue hair that i found in my eyebrow. i've seen it before and combed it down but, upon discovering it in a portrait, i think i'll let it go wild.
