Sleeveface.com
 
Sleeve face is: "one or more persons obscuring or augmenting any part of their body or bodies with record sleeves causing an illusion". In other words, holding a record sleeve infront of your face an pretending you are Ted Nugent (for example). See here:

www.sleeveface.com

There are a few examples up with more to come. Please, dig into your record collections, have lark, take some pics and submit them to:

submit@sleeveface.com

Or post them here...or do both.

Get creative! GO GO GO.

Savage Clone 06.06.2007 02:07 PM

You gonna be the sleeveface.

Oh cool. I once seen a picture of Bob Dylan with a Bob Dylan album in front of his face. I also once seen one where Stevie Ray Vaughan had some black guy over his face. Let me see if I can find either one

Iain 06.06.2007 02:11 PM

Do it! Put it over your face, take a pic and submit it...the more the merrier. And think outside the box.

Which reminds me. Anyone who gets a sleeve with an artists face, meets said artist and convinces them to do a sleeveface gets a special prize (the unending respect of myself and a few select others is the prize...not cash redeemable)

I will attempt a series soon.

pokkeherrie 06.06.2007 07:20 PM

That's so awesome.

I hope it's going to be a succes... and that there will be a proper image gallery soon.

Iain 06.06.2007 07:31 PM

Yes, soon hopefully.

Iain 06.07.2007 04:58 AM

Yes, that would be ace Jico, thanks!

Haha...they're rubbish! He doesn't get it at all!

sarramkrop 06.26.2007 07:24 AM

Savage Clone 06.30.2007 04:10 PM

Sad thing is, I'm not even kidding.

i'm such a lazy fuck, i completely forgot about this.


i was surprised to hear about sleeveface on wfmu a couple of weeks(months?) ago, i guess you guys are world famous now.

Iain 01.14.2008 01:05 PM

Haha...not really. I think the wfmu thing attracted roughly....0 comments. But it has popped up on a few blogs here and there and got into the Guardian Guide as the best Facebook group of the year. Expect an overpriced coffee table book soon.

radarmaker 01.14.2008 01:52 PM

Heh, love it :) I've been a member of their Facebook group for a while and have been meaning to sort out a few of my own - I reckon the Disappearer 12" would make a good one, as would MBV's You Made Me Realise 12"...

Nice photo. Try holding in your tummy the next time you strike a pose.

Your one is perfect screamingskull.

Phlegmscope 02.19.2008 07:59 AM

This is incredibly difficult with a shitty webcam and no one to guide you how to hold it.

The record is old, and was in that state when I got it. Mint ones are pretty spendy. And it's a blousey shirt! Unflattering.

Congrats to Iain and friends on the coverage!
