Do you want to model for a painting? Interesting Faces Required

This is a public call out to anyone of any age or gender who is comfortable pulling silly faces in front of a camera and is up for a laugh. I need interesting, weird and expressive faces/bodies/hands/feet for a series of new big-scale paintings.

The photoshoots are easy and fun and only take about an hour. I usually do them in my flat but can do them anywhere provided there's an electrical socket nearby (to plug my lights in). It's basically just trying out different facial expressions to capture a mood/moment/thought.

I am not offering any wages as such, but of course I do look after my models. I am always happy to buy a pint of beer/cup of coffee and knock them up a tasty lunch to say thank you for their troubles. Oh! And of course, whoever helps me out does get to say that they have been part of a public art project.
