CNN: Social Networking Leads to Resurgence of Portraits?
Old-school portraits see resurgence online
I did a few of these. Back in the day for LiveJournal profile pics.
Let me know if you’re interested in an avatar portrait. Send me a picture and I can have it to you within a week. $25. The image I send you will be 300 x 300 pixels at 72 dpi. If you’re interested in higher quality work, please let me know. You can contact me at steve @ fluidbeauty.com Remove the spaces to make it work. Or at Twitter, I’m @cleff.
I’m a big fan of bringing portraiture to the masses and I’m working on a project (targeting mid 2010 for the kickoff) of portraits of people I know. If you want in, let me know that, too. Only requirements are that we’ve met in person or spoken on the phone and you’ve got a good story to tell.
Highlights from the CNN story:
- The portrait, a centuries-old art form, is finding new life with the masses online
- Some people pay artists to paint their Facebook profile pictures and Twitter icons
- Free Web sites generate cartoon pictures of people for use in social media
- Researcher says portraits are necessary stand-ins for people online
