Bearded Art Exhibits

Dave Mead's ‘Magnificent Specimens' Captures Extreme Stache

If you love beards and mustaches then you will love Dave Mead’s photography exhibition ‘Magnificent Specimens.'

The men featured in these photos are contestants from the 2009 World Beard & Mustache Championships. Dave Mead’s portraits of scruffy men are artistic and entertaining. I can only aspire to grow almost all of the styles featured in the gallery. If you want to see ‘Magnificent Specimens’ live then you’ll need to head over to Chelsea Market in New York City. Back the stache!
