2016 marks 40 years since I first painted a face. A long time and a lot of faces. See my Anniversary Gallery of the year in faces at funonfaces.com -- and it has been a year of as I try designs using cartooning to make faces people can play with and animate in my StoryFaces shows. At events I'll now ask some people if they want to be funny looking and put a cartoon of them on their face. I also got to paint art on faces for a Red Grooms exhibit and at the LIC Sculpture Center. Plus circus images for a couple of events. 40 years and still rolling along. Take a look at the gallery, it's been an adventurous year.
