Real people don't read your blog.
A fact that I wasn't made aware of when I signed up for these things; It now
seems so obvious.
If you are reading this and you do happen to be a real person then why not
send me a photo (one which includes
your real face) and I will draw a picture of you and post it here to serve
as everlasting proof that sometimes facts are wrong.
Your Face was started at the beginning of 2007 with the idea that I would
improve my somewhat lacking portrait drawing skills and a sneaking suspicion
that nobody would ever find the blog. It turns out that I was wrong and quite
few people not only visit obscure blogs but are also more than happy to send
photographs of themselves to a stranger on the other side of the internet.
So far my portrait drawing has shown no signs of improvement but I do have
a bulging inbox to work on and my confidence in creating innacurate and possibly
offensive renditions of people's features is sky high.

How it Works
- Find a photograph of your face.
It helps if the image isn't too dark and doesn't have part of your head
cut off but I'll work with practically anything.
- email it to yourface at daddy-ears.com
along with your name.
Some people take the chance to tell me something about themselves in the
hope that this will find its way into their portrait. It's up to you if you
want to do this. Who knows, maybe it will work. One thing is for sure though,
if ask specifically for your portrait not to include any added facial hair
then you are definitely going to get a seriously massive beard.
- Wait (patiently) for your portrait to be uploaded.
You should receive an email letting you know when your portrait has been
uploaded but you could always subscribe to the rss feed to be sure you don't
miss it.
