# Sincere Meat Heads Fernando Lessa Produces Unparalleled Personal Portraits By Brian G Randles | Published 2009-11-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fernando-lessa-portraits References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Portraits/342877) & [fernandolessa.demaisdesign](http://www.fernandolessa.demaisdesign.com/) Meat heads are generally thought to be mean, dumb and uncaring.

I mean, the poor guy featured doesn’t even have eyes. Hopefully [those flowers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/planteneers) will help him find a date.
