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!
alexis is a fantastic artist who i invited to trade portraits last year. i was actually kind of relieved that she didn't follow up on my offer because i hadn't imagined that this portrait party project would be popular. it's not easy to keep up with the portraits swaps. a few months ago though, alexis surprised me with this portrait (below). i woke up very early one morning to draw my response (above).
for the record, my mustache was never so impressive!
