Facial hair blog Beard Revue has kicked off their monthly 'First Thursday Beard Art' photo collection with a bang. The post is meant to showcase the best in beard art; as you can see from the gallery above, there's much to see.
The art that's compiled in 'First Thursday Beard Art' comes from all over the world, and much of it is for sale. My favorite is the first one, which comes from Aaron Piland of Portland.
