EFA Studio Artist Scott Teplin has just launched Drawing Experiement IV: Passive Aggressive Portraits. From now until Oct. 31, 2012 Teplin is taking orders for portraits of people that the submittors love/don't love. Patrons fill out a patented 'gross-out preference form', upload a photo and wait for their watercolor to arrive in the mail. Drawing Experiment I, II and III sold out quickly, so Teplin may close down orders before Oct. 31.
