Inspired by James Elkins in his "What Is a Face?" chapter in The Object Stares Back, I did an exercise in memory. I first tried to write a description for a face I see a lot in my life, then I tried to draw it from memory. Now, naturally, I have a more cartoonish look to my illustrations, but it is really interesting how I described them, how I drew them and then what these faces look like in real life.
