You know those selfies that you’ve been taking? Well here’s an idea of what you can actually do with them (apart from annoying your friends) \u2013 upload it to\u00a0Sktchy<\/a>. It’s an app founded by Jordan Melnick that pairs user-submitted portraits with artists who might just take your mug shot and turn it into a piece of art.<\/p>\n

It’s a really great idea, especially if you’re looking for an inspiration (besides your own reflection) as you’d draw other people’s portraits and in turn, people draw yours.\u00a0I love the idea behind the app \u2013 it challenges your creativity and it’s also a fun community of artists who support one another. People can leave comments and feedback on your portraits and even a virtual high-five for a job well done!<\/p>\n

You can download the app over at iTunes<\/a>, and it’s available for iPhone. I’ve tried the iPad version and it’s beautiful as well (it’s a little smaller than the screen size, but it’s Retina ready, so images are crisp and clear.)<\/p>\n
