This Twitter Beard lets everyone have an instant illustrated mass of facial hair. After all, not everyone can grow a mustache in honor of Movember. Von R. Glitschka is the digital artist behind the first beard; he was inspired by a mask assignment he gave his Digital Illustration students.
The third image shows what Von R. Glitschka's students came up with. Would you rock this Twitter beard in honor of Movember?
