Shawn Feeney’s BFF project
Ninja May 6th, 2009
Former forensic artist, Shawn Feeney, is working on drawing 64 facial composite images of 64 pairs of best friends (he started in November 2007 and is up to the 35th pair now). Next up, a series of composites from the composites—32 drawings combining four faces each, 16 drawings combining eight faces each, and so on until finally there is one drawing derived from all 128 faces. Participants include people from across the USA, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Brazil, and China.

Here is a clip that shows how Shawn goes about combining the faces of two friends for the BFF project. The drawing is done in charcoal on 8.5×11″ Stonehenge paper.
