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!
the photo from which this painting of kerstin (above) was drawn has been used for so many portrait swaps that it seems like an icon to me now. i thought about asking for a new picture but i was curious to see how my version would turn out. kerstin's drawing of me on the other hand (below) took me by complete surprise. it's like a portrait of my daydreams!

that is the BEST portrait of you - how cool...
Thanks so much for the portrait. It just makes me happy. It will be the first pic I´ll put on the wall in our office. All the other pictures I´ve got will be arranged around it. :)
I also like to see the different styles of the artists and am glad when they use the same picture. I´m glad you asked me to be a juror of the next contest. Otherwise I would have been tempted to submit another 20 portraits. ;)
THANKS AGAIN! *hug
