Just came across this on Doodlers Anonymous and I just HAD to share. A project by Tobias Gutmann, the Face-O-Mat is a portable drawing booth, simulating an analog drawing 'machine'. Gutmann dragged the beautifully designed booth around the globe with him, drawing over 700 portraits (and counting). Love, love, love. 

So the portrait sale is a smashing hit, of course! I've sold a whopping total of eight portraits and my financial woes are a thing of the past!

I made one of Marta, the amazingly talented lady behind 'The Luscious Joys of Princess Misia' - your one stop destination for prettyfingerlicking food photography and recipes. Where's the food, indeed. Then, two more, for VERS magazine. There's also a comic of mine that will be published in the magazine, but more about that later. And finally, I made a whole bunch for the amazing Turtlewings crew. And then I took a nap. 

Anyhow. The big sale came not a minute too late, as me and my freshly earned 'doekoes', as we like to call them here, took the husband (or, the husband took me, as I still can't drive) to Friesland, where we attended a wedding, partied it up, contemplated sailing (rain, no wind, no dice), and went to see 'Borgman' instead.

Journal page for the weekend of Saturday September 7th and Sunday September 8th!

Ola, my darlings!
Two things are happening.

1. I am broke 
as a very non-funny joke from all the marrying, traveling, and driving around with expensive instructors (and ehm *ahem* failing *cough* my first test). and am especially interested in experimenting with drawing portraits.

2. I am feeling the itch to draw again
 So. Put two and two together and what we seem to have on our hands here is A SALE, my friends.

My grandma in days gone by. 

For €20,- I will make a high res digital portrait of your beautiful face and email it to you. Great for all sorts of (online) birthday parties, bar mitzvahs, and pool parties. Or you could use it as a profile picture. Or print it and put it on your bathroom wall. So many options!

This here above is a photo of my grandmother rocking out on vacation about 20 years ago. She doesn't have ze Facebooks, but you know she'd totally be blasting this one out through the internets if she had a connection. 

So head over to my Etsy shop and make me rich. 

Or not so disastrously poor.
