Thought I might as well continue with the music theme we've got going on here.

Theme From Your Face

Last week I was blissfully unaware of one of the major shortcomings of this blog. I don't think I could have pinned down the exact nature of what we were missing here even if they had let me borrow Stephen Hawking's chair for a few weeks to sit and mull it over.

Alas, thanks to Steve (Face 233), the problem has been solved before I even had time to worry about it. This one has slipped by with no need try to bury it deep in my subconscious and let it fester and develop into another dangerous personality disorder. I think we all have a lot to be thankful to Steve for in that regard so without rambling any further I am stupendously pleased to be able to present to you.. Theme From Your Face...

Steve (Face 233)

Steve's photo crash landed into my inbox yesterday and attached was a note offering to write me a song in exchange for drawing his particular arrangement of nose, mouth, eyes, etc.

Well Steve, I've kept up my side of the bargain, I beieve it's now your turn.

Nora (Face 228)

ok people, we're back in business. firstly I'd like to propose that we all move to Japan if they have room for us. In the meantime (I know you all need a moment to pack your bags and tie up loose ends, say a final goodbye to the family etc.) let's carry on where we left off. Hopefully I can complete the remaining portraits for the first tea towel in the very near future and can finally get them printed.

This rather handsome face is going to be the last for a little while as I'm going to be leaving for Japan tomorrow. I'm away for 3 weeks so normal service will resume at the beginning of June. Please check back then or make sure to subscribe to the rss feed.

Face Facts

This week has seen a whole lot of new faces staring out at me from my inbox. Thank you to everyone who has linked to Your Face (20minutos.es, alt1040.com, photojojo.com ,lavozdegalicia.es to name just a few).

I have too many emails to reply to them all right now so I'll answer some of the most popular questions here.

- Yes, I will send you an email when your face has been posted on the blog. Feel free to check back here as much as you like to see the other new faces though. You could even subscribe to my feed and help make me feel popular.

- I'm 26 and currently live in London.

- I'm a real person whatever that means.

- No, I don't look like the queen and won't be posting a photo of myself anytime soon. Strangely enough I don't feel comfortable posting images of myself on here despite expecting all of you to email me yours.

- I'll start accepting new submissions for the tea towels soon.

- Yes I accept commisions and would love to work on your new project. Contact details for this type of thing can be found here.

>>Please try to send photos to this email address and not to the address from my portfolio site<<
