FUKT #20—The Faces Issue

The issue explores and celebrates the human face. Featuring drawings by 34 contemporary artists, we delve into the world of portraiture and the face in contemporary art. Inside the magazine, you’ll discover a range of perspectives and topics, from face blindness to facial recognition – a selection of drawing positions that have a unique take on the face. The cover comes in variations of 24 different printed faces*, all of which have a tear-off cover revealing an empty face template on which you can draw any face you want. The magazine board says: ”You can scribble, draw a portrait, simple or elaborate, anything is possible. We would love to see the faces you draw, so don’t hesitate to upload them to social media, tag us @fukt_magazine and we will feature them in our story, or email us a photo of the cover with your drawing.”
