Cellophane Line Portraits

At the end of 2017, I completed a set of ‘quick fire’ cellophane line portraits. During the Facebook Portrait Project I completed over 100 pen line social media portraits over a 50 day period and posted the results. Californian based boy band Phase 5 member, Lee Brown, said, “Ahhhhh this is amazinggg!!!! hahaha you exaggerated the beard which I appreciate!” Also, Will Newall, received his picture in the early hours of the morning in New Zealand and after a 12 hour delay, “Gav, that’s awesome! Thanks mate! No point in trying to avoid wrinkles that are there anyway Bro!”

The ‘Line Portraits’ are a great way to enhance your social media profile picture and amaze your friends and family. It is also a quick and economical way to own your own original artwork.
