Painting Facebook Portraits

Matt Held has found a timely twist on portraits - basing them off Facebook profile images. I've been thinking a lot the past few days about Michael Surtees' article about Face pics being the new logo. In some ways I hope this isn't true. The pictures people use for their profiles all seem so calculated and unreflective of a person's dynamic self (mine included). All that aside, Matt's portraits are very alive and flattering. I would love one. If you are interested in getting your portrait painted, just join Matt's Facebook group. Oh, and of course they are all square. (Found through Double Takes).
