James Esber

This is not a portrait

A group drawing project conducted between 2009 - 2011 in which the artist asked friends and family (artists and non-artists) to remake a single drawing. The reconstructions were done by making marks on top of a reproduction of Esber's original 2005 drawing of Osama bin laden.
