About the Book
Select sketches drawn from selfies by Instagram artist @i_draw_guys. Part art project, part exploration of the modern cultural phenomenon of "instafame" i_draw_guys taps into the beguiling beauty and rampant narcissism that makes Instagram so addictive for today's youth. In the quest to attract and engage devoted followers no image type is as powerful as the selfie, but at what cost? @i_draw_guys minimalist yet uncannily accurate illustration style cuts through the perfect lighting and carefully chosen filters of the original photographs to reveal the underlying emotions of the subject. On display in the unflinching honesty of each careful stroke we see the joy, pain, confidence, fear, passion, and loneliness hiding in plain sight.
