Art project with my fellow bi polar bears

I am a bipolar realist portrait painter in Brazil and I am doing an art project about we bipolar people. I am making a series of portraits of people who have bipolar disorder and are doing well.

I want to showcase our healthy coping mechanisms or what is it that we make that makes us proud. For instance, I am portraying myself painting. Another model photographed himself with his dog.

The way it works is that you take a picture and send it to me. I'll make a sketch and mail it to you wherever in the world you are as a thank you. I'll paint the portrait with oil on canvas and try to get it shown here in Brazil. There is a slight bit of paperwork that needs to be done [image release stuff] and I have a few helpful tips that you can follow to take your picture as for painting it is best if we have light and shadows and to avoid complex patterns on clothes. No nudity.
