Smiley Bag Project
Smiley Bag Project is a participatory art project. Pedestrians are invited to sit as models for the artist as he draws their portraits with a Sharpie marker on the smiley faces of common take-out plastic bags. This project is inspired by sidewalk portrait artists in tourist places like Times Square.
