Can I please draw your face? I will make it nice, I promise.

October 10, 2011

On Friday last week I went to my postbox after work and found this envelope waiting for me. I had no idea who it was from, but when I pulled out what was in it, I was confronted by the most wondeful thing ever, a hand painted picture of a polaroid of Shane and I that I blogged about a while back.

This is one of the raddest things I think I have ever received, from I might add a perfect stranger, so Bianca Sgammini all I have to say is – Wow and you deserve a bench named after you in a fancy park. I mother-fing love this painting, it seriously made my whole day and weekend.

Bianca got this idea was from something I mentioned a while back, that now I’m going to put into action. So, i’m calling all clever hands or not so clever hands (like myself) that can or can’t (even better) draw or paint or sculpt or ink etc etc to join the very first ever Lucky Pony Portrait Project and this is how it will work:

I think this project could be super fun and if you think about it, you will be the only person in the whole world to have a once off original of yourself, made by someone you will probably never ever meet. Ha. Nice. So let me know if you are keen and lets make art together.

It’s open to absolutely anyone, local or overseas and you DO NOT have to be able to draw, I can’t stress this enough. So if you feel like joining, please do so xxx
