Photo with 1 note

My BFF Grey has a listing on the Internet Movie Database. As you may know, if someone listed on IMDb wants to upload a photograph to their listing they need to buy a pro membership on the site.  While I couldn’t do that for her, I did the next best thing: I redrew my Fairey-ish portrait of her in smileys, and posted it to her IMDb message board. I can’t help but think the potential of message board smileys as an artistic medium has barely been scratched.
