answer: View Spoiler »i got this one wrong. it’s martin luther king, which makes me racist, but they left out the ‘jr’ on his name in the answer key, so maybe it’s meant to be his dad. i don’t know what that dude looks like, but apparently he’s got a big old scar on his face and some bloating issues, unlike his much more distinguished-looking son. « Hide Spoiler

answer: View Spoiler »it’s nelson mandela! i got this one, but to be honest, i guessed it before i even connected the dots, because it was pretty obvious. still, i’m counting it as a win! « Hide Spoiler

answer:View Spoiler »david bowie. this one is easy because it is on the cover, and because of the ziggy stardust makeup. otherwise, it would have looked more like tilda swinton than bowie. i’m not sure if it’s my wonky dot-connection or simply shitty artwork that’s to blame for the way these things are turning out « Hide Spoiler

answer:View Spoiler »frank sinatra. before i connected the dots, i thought it was usher in one of those little slouchy hats. but it is not, but it also doesn’t look much like sinatra. this month’s project is more tedious than i had expected. good thing it’s a short month! « Hide Spoiler

answer:View Spoiler »it’s obama! which was pretty clear even before i connected the dots, but i’m taking the win, anyway! it’s not the most flattering likeness, and something is going on with his dental work, but still—thanks, obama! « Hide Spoiler

answer:View Spoiler »adele. but is it? this is even less flattering than the obama one. i know i fucked up a little—i got distracted watching taboo and missed some dots and gave her an extra nose-to-mouth line, but i’m not taking all the blame here; this is a shoddy portrait. « Hide Spoiler

answer:View Spoiler »it’s bradley cooper! but bradley cooper from an alternate universe where everyone’s features are both stretched and compressed before coming outta the human-making factory. and they’re all a little creepier. « Hide Spoiler
sorry, i got behind again. i’ve been doing these one-a-day, but some of them take a really long time, and after a long-ass day, the connecting of dots is enough to push me over the edge of exhaustion and i haven’t the strength to drag my ass to the computer for posting.

if i ever get enough time (because these things take forever, dude), i want to “fix” a few more of these, to make them a little more accurate to what i’m seeing, not what i’m told to see.

answer:View Spoiler »whitney houston! although there’s something here that is reminding me of greg’s mom… « Hide Spoiler
ugh. sorry for the delay. i ‘upgraded’ my computer yesterday because slack was all “sorry, mountain lion, you need to be sierra,” and not only did it take over an hour, but then my computer was all ‘keyboard, what keyboard? what mouse? i cannot find these things’ even though those things were right where they’ve always been. apparently this is a problem with this particular mac upgrade, so be informed. greg came over and fixed it today (GREG!!!) but now i am behind in all the things. but here—i will get caught up on this at least!
