Can you guess who this is? Check it out here. It's a website that creates sketch portraits of literary characters.
"Images created using law enforcement composite sketch software and descriptions of literary characters. All interesting suggestions considered. Include descriptive passages if you can. Read more on the project at The Atlantic.
Created by Brian Joseph Davis. A co-founder of the website Joyland , his work has been collected recently in Against Expression: An anthology of conceptual writing (Northwestern University Press). His music and art productions have been acclaimed by Wired, Pitchfork, Salon, and LA Weekly, which wrote, “Davis has an amazing head for aural experiments that are smart on paper and fascinating in execution.” He’s written for Utne, The Globe and Mail and The Believer."
Personally, I think I'll stick to my own mental portrait of characters... what about you?
Me too, none of the portraits approached my imaginings...they reminded me of most wanted criminals...!!
