Don’t Judge Me by My Beard

I did this sketch after a charity worker in the street greeted me by making the assumption “you have a beard, you care about the environment”.

Check out my flickr for the expansion on this.

Thanks a lot

Knuckle Tattoos

I HEART BEARDS tattoo

I HEART BEARDS tattoo

So says Lauren Ray of Pensacola, FL:

i got this tattoo because well, i LOVE beards. Everyone knows it, so i decided to truly show how much i do by getting it tattooed on my knuckles. The thumbs were a last minute idea and i love them. Tattoo courtesy of 3 Saints Tattoos, Pensacola, FL.

The Winter of the Beard

I know it’s not winter yet. But it looks awesome, so buy it. Also: grow your beard for six months. Or forever.

Recommended Beard Reading

Bearding isn’t difficult. Just grow. Or: don’t shave. Sometimes it takes a few weeks to build up a face pilose enough to be complimented on it; sometimes it takes just a night or two. However one harvests and fashions their beard, time is the essential ingredient.

But if that’s not enough information — and it wasn’t for me — there are a few pieces of literature I recommend to any Beard Revue reader.  

Jack Passion’s humorous guide to all things hirsute, The Facial Hair Handbook

Allan Peterkin’s One Thousand Beards is more from the perspective of a curious being, probing the history and sociological aspects of the beard:

And, of course, the longest titled beard book ever: Beards: Their social standing, religious involvements, decorative possibilities, and value offence and defence through the ages. It also has one of the best book covers ever.

So that’s a start. And questions are always welcome, of course (just make sure you leave your email addy). 

Happy bearding.
