My friend's brother Will Ritson recently embarked on a illustration project titled Do I Know You?, which sees him draw the face of anybody who sends him a image of themselves.
His aim is simple, "To draw and collect illustrations of people I have never met, creating a library of beautiful faces.." I know a few of you folks are flipping dogged, so don't even think about sending in your photos (joke) all are welcome ugly, pretty and everything else.
To get involved just email him a large, good quality picture of yourself to (willritson@googlemail.com)
Below are just a few images he's done so far, to check out the rest and for more info just (click)

Monorex are getting their grown man on. Est. in 2005 by Terry Guy, Monorex and it's scion Secret Wars have been turning ripples into waves from stairwells to stage for a while. Most recently the good ship Secret Wars docked in Barcelona, where cast & crew were collab-ing with Reebok, adorning the sportswear giant's display stalls @ insider trade fair Bread & Butter. We at BNTL are jammy enough to have exclusive footage from the event beamed to your screens direct from the edit room floors of Monorex towers. The video showcases the uncouth talents of Monorex artists, Jimi Crayon, Teck1, Miss LED, Mr K, Elfin, Alfa, Conzo and Code 26, with Reeps 1 and Session on the audio vibrations...
None of the artists were harmed in the making of this movie
The video also showcases Reebok's staple output of treads, with heavy onus on the crisp white ladies Freestyle Hi. The shoe was 25 yrs old in '07 and this year saw a spectrum of collabs like the Colette x MOB pass through the feeds of hypebeast, highsnobiety, kicksonfire and the like. For the ladies that haven't copped yet the Milkfed pastel all-overs are in at Gloria's @ ye olde Truman Brewery, Brick Lane, Banglatown
