What do the need?
A photo of you in profile as per the example and your name as you would like it to appear.
Then send it to schooloffaces@gmail.com
Any specifics on the photos?
The photos don't have to be of amazingly high quality but it is important I can make out your features easily. If it's too dark I may ask you for a replacement. Please supply as close to a profile shot as possible.
If you are under the age of 18 you will need your parent/guardians permission but I'm happy to put people of any age or location in this project.
And what happens to the photos?
I am creating an art piece that, once complete, will have all 1008 faces sketched into a specific pattern. I will hand sketch each face based on yours and the 1007 other photos. The finished size will be 3 meters wide by 2 meters high (over 6 panels)
Can you do anything else?
Well, if you have anyone else who may be interested please send them through or if you have a blog please post information regarding the project. If you have a location that people check regularly I can mail through a pack including business Cards and a flyer.
If you want your family included in this project I am happy to put an entire group in together pending space.
Who the hell am I?
My name is Michael Alesich and I'm a visual artist based in Melbourne, Australia. I just completed a year long project of sketching a daily calendar for 2010. I am highly experienced with sketching, photography and wire sculpture.
Thank you in advance
Michael.
