SKETCHY MIAMI
So i was first introduced to sketchymiami.com by a fellow artist and friend that submited 3 sketches to the site. Upon learning about the goal of the site i immediately fell in love with their goal and decided to submit some pieces myself.
this is quite simply the goal of the site:
to create a portrait of every person in Miami. Here’s how it works:
1) Miami residents submit photographs of themselves, along with their names (at least — they can choose to share more information, e.g., birth date, neighborhood, favorite food, et cetera).
2) Local artists — i.e., all locals who consider themselves artists — create portraits based on the submitted photographs. (We call the portraits “Sketchys”.) Artists can work in any medium they choose and do as many Sketchys as they choose. All participating artists have a page on sketchymiami.com where their Sketchys are displayed alongside any personal info they choose to provide (bio, personal website, etc.).
3) As they are completed, the Sketchys appear on the homepage with a link to their photographs and to the artist’s personal page. In this way, each post is as much about the artist as the subject of the Sketchy itself.
Why do this?
The relationship between portrait subject and portraitist is one of the strongest in the history of art. (Think of the bond between Mona Lisa and Leonardo.) Sketchy Miami seeks to facilitate this relationship between thousands of local artists and residents. We believe the intimate nature of the exchange — giving one’s image, one’s face, to an artist to depict — will forge a bond of trust as no other art form could. In time, Sketchy Miami will become a definitive and inspiring testament to Miami’s diversity, ethnic, creative, physiognomic, and otherwise.
No Self-Portrait Policy
Self-portraits are awesome, but they don’t work for Sketchy Miami because the essence of this project is exchange. We want Miami artists and other locals to come together through portraiture, and self-portraits, by definition, do not involve interaction.
