Welcome to this strange world where the ideal of beauty is modified far beyond that which is typical.

This is an ongoing collection of portraits and self portraits
by myself and many other people. The images can end up ranging from hilarious to terrifying, though regardless it's always a fun shoot.

The idea is to redefine one's facial characteristics into a new identity using what I jokingly refer to as "anti-makeup". The anti-makeup consists of a stocking, pantyhose, tights or a knee-high over the subject's head and face. Very much like a bank robber, except that the goal isn't to hide your face, but evolve it.

"accept: those around for who they are, not what they look like
accept: what goes on without saying a word
exist: without anyone seeing inside
exist: no one hears the screams i cry"
a quote from one of
's db pieces......
