Movember gets artistic

This year a few of us on the IAM team decided to take an artsy approach to Movember, and things got hairy…

Movember is a brilliant charity that supports men’s health by encouraging guys to grow, groom, trim, style, and otherwise attend to outlandish moustaches. Needless to say, most of us here at IAM are follically challenged, so we turned to Gallery of Mo for our facial hair stylings. It’s a fantastic online platform launched by twentysix where a team of artists create portraits of you with a ‘tache – motraits, if you will. You can donate whatever amount you like, the cash goes straight to the Movember cause, and some up-and-coming artists get a little exposure too. So here are the weird and wonderful creations that arrived in our inboxes this week…

Gallery of Mo has raised almost £7,000 so far – that will all go to Movember, raising vital funds and awareness for prostate and testicular cancer and mental health. You can get your motrait until the end of December.
