When I started this practice that I call Bad Portraits, the portraits were plain and simply bad. Drawing faces began as something for my hands to do during conversation or while sitting alone in a public place. After badly drawing most of my friends, I started taking my pocket notebook to house parties in case I met somebody interesting. Everybody is interesting, really.

One day I envisioned drawing at events as a way to engage and entertain guests. Since 2017, I’ve drawn more than a thousand faces. I’m currently drawing live portraits for a limited number of events each year.
