What’s in your pockets? Let others find out!
Folks are emptying the contents of their pockets onto their scanners + sending the images to Timur Akhmetov + Yulia Yakushova to upload onto their site, face your pockets project.
Like the site’s name suggests, the owners also place their faces on their scanners to complete the image.
Here are two that caught my eye:

Sergio’s submission

Indian Caba’s submission
And here’s mine. Yes, I know I have a lot of hair; it all just plopped onto the scanner as I stood over it.

Author: Ninja
Occupation: graphic designer
Description (items from my purse): micron pens (.05 and .005), sheet from my sketch book, mini matryoshka dolls, fortune cookie slip

A few weeks ago I discovered Wordplayer. It’s a great little site filled with writing screenplays and the industry. If you’re an indie, you’ll want to read this. It covers a lot of basic screenwriting knowledge and how the system works. Coming from someone on the inside, it’s great to have something available to us.
