A good sign of someone who is bad at art is if they can’t draw hands. I can’t draw hands. That’s why we have mostly just heads here. A big collection of head shots created between 2002 and 2012. Celebrities, mostly.

And I’ll tell you another secret – when I made these
portraits I often “cheated” by using a simple five step technique which I call Lamerization.
1. Decide who you are going to draw.
2. Find a good image of them on the Internet.
3. Bring the shot in to Photoshop and lighten it until it is barely visible.
4. Then print it out and draw directly on to the page or use a light table to trace the image.
5. Add artistic flair. Lamerized!

If you would like to use these images feel free, as long as you credit me. Better yet – try the Lamerization technique yourself and get funky with it!
