I’ve been drawing portraits for strangers over at Your Face for a good while now. I uploaded Portrait No. 362 earlier today and as the sun has momentarily appeared again and itunes just opted to serenade me with The Clash, what better time to celebrate with a little competition.
This is your chance to skip the queue and get your portrait drawn next. I’ve also got a few things hanging around that might make a worthwhile prize so here’s the deal…
What you have to do:
Leave a comment on this post with an idea of how I should draw your portrait – See Your Face for ideas of the type of things we’re talking about. Basically the weirdest or funniest idea for how I can deface your portrait wins. If you’ve always wanted to know what you would look like riding side saddle on the back of Margaret Thatcher or how you would look if you were born with knives and forks instead of teeth this could your best chance.
What you get:
Yours will be the next face I draw
A print of your portrait
Live Fast Dye Young or Jesus – Hide & Seek Champion Screenprint
Your Face Tea Towel
Your Face Zine No.2
A random selection of pin badges.
I’ll pick some runners up that will get their portraits drawn and a tea towel for their trouble.

Going along with a Simon & Garfunkel lyric, “I’d rather be a hammer than a nail,” I would be delighted if you could depict me as a hammer. Perhaps one of which is being held by Jesus (he DOES like to build stuff, you know) as he constructs his super-cool disco.
E.T. in Elliot’s bicycle basket. ‘Nuff said….
How about a combination of myself, JP and AL??
i desire to have a duck billed platapus drinking my thoughts through a straw.
please make my dreams come true.
Competition ends on Tuesday (19th May).
Mama is a dancer/yogi, Dad an ardent cyclist, our three-year-old son likes to think he’s Curious George … it’s a 3-in-one challenge!
Born in Alaska, grew up mostly in Texas. Maybe there’s something interesting to do with that?
I’m huge on tea… maybe the top of my head split open with a tea party inside.
NAKED. WITH A FACE FOR GENITALS.
Me but as a unicorn oh or a dragon…
draw me drawing your face. a self portrait in a portrait
It would cool it you can draw my face where these three elements are combined together: My country’s flag ( Philippines), environment and women (:
From London, UK. I’m into photography. Please deface me with a flash coming out of my head and my body as a tripod. Maybe an eye could be the lens.
I live in the great state of Texas (it’s not all flat with tumbleweeds blowing across the plains; Austin in green and hilly and beautiful!) and would like to see my portrait with a Texas longhorn or some beautiful wildflowers!
I would like my face on a tomato. growing on a tomato vine in the garden of nuttyness that is my hometown, Washington, DC.
I’d like to be a quilt… I’d also like to be the one working on said quilt…. That would be awesome!!
I would love to be squirted out of an elephant’s trunk, whilst it balances on one of those tiny platforms. Or a little stool. Maybe on top of a Mini.
Draw my head on a rabbit’s body,or cat’s body.Please
fairies dancing around a maypole !
A fresh face, doesn’t need to be mine, covered with tattoos of other peoples’ faces you’ve already illustrated. The head is then split/unzipped/cracked/cut/sawn/smashed/whatever open revealing another face covered in tattoos of even more peoples’ faces, then theirs is split/unzipped/cracked/cut/sawn/whatever open too revealing yet another face, and so it goes. Faces with faces with faces…
Each facey layer could be themed, i.e. different emotions, and there should be lots of accessories flying about for the purpose of splitting/unzipping/cracking/cutting/sawing/smashing/whatevering.
Blood optional.
Hey Damien – My mouth is a tunnel, a train is exiting, my tongue is a train track that curls ’round my head & splits at the end like a snake’s does… oh, and near the end of my tongue there’s a train heading toward the one that left my mouth… and I’m watching looking worried… i feel weird writing it.
I’m really crafty, so I’m thinking my left hand cutting my own face off my body into tiny pieces, and my right hand desperately attempting to put it all back together before anyone notices, with a glue gun and some duct tape. eh?
i would like a portrait with my head crack-opened and plants growing out of my brain blossoming words and letters. thanks
i would love to see my face being licked by joe strummer’s face
My face stuck somewhere in The Beatles’ Revolver album. it would be such an honor to be immortalized in the album cover of this epic album
i would like to join a tea-party together with my jack-russel-terrier basti and ray bradbury. so, my dream would come true …
I got a band, is called a aflat noise. hear us at aflatnoise -dot- muxtape -dot- com, based in Ecuador south america.
Will be great a portrait of me inspired by the music I compose.
My face in an egg cup- my skull is cracked open at the top the way soft boiled eggs are & a spoon is either sticking out or about ready to be jabbed in…
octopus vagina face.
I really love music and fashion….So, here’s my idea:
My face, but my eyes are shaped like music notes. And my eyelashes could be individual hangers, that symbolize fashion, and clothes. Also, my teeth could have elements of the dollar bill on them. Each individual tooth. That could be cool.
I think each strand of hair should be shaped like a guitar. Since I’m a nosy person, my ears could be shaped like satellites that pick up sound waves. LOL
And I can be vain at times, so my shirt should be a picture of the portrait that you come up with.
me in a cannon with only my head and fingers popping out and ready to shot. and below is a circus with clowns and bears on unicycles and tons of spectators
hahaha Yuki, an Octopus Vagina face! I would like to see what that looked like
