# Face-Fueled Drawings The Jared Clark Bleeder Project Uses Unusual Body Parts By Gil Cohen | Published 2012-12-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jared-clark-bleeder References: [ignant.de](http://www.ignant.de/2012/12/14/bleeder/) & [jaredlindsayclark](http://www.jaredlindsayclark.com/index.php?/bruce/bleeder/) As the Jared Clark Bleeder project clearly demonstrates, using your hands for drawing is so passe these days. You may be able to create the most picturesque scenery using your nimble fingers, but artist Jared Clark likes a serious challenge, using his entire face to create masterpieces that cannot possibly be reproduced by anyone else. He gathers handfuls of [multicolored Sharpie markers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artist-color-crayon) and aligns them in between the paper and his eyes, cheeks, forehead and mouth. Then he slowly works his way around the page, creating [stippling ink spots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drawing-series) and wavy, erratic lines that go in every which direction. The result is a [gorgeously colored image](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fraimic) that looks like it has been died with carefully placed blots of ink. The Jared Clark Bleeder project is erratic and unpredictable, yet beautiful as well. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Face-fueled Drawings:** Opportunity for artists to explore unconventional techniques using their face as a tool for creating unique and unpredictable artwork. - **Multicolored Sharpie Markers:** Emerging trend of using multicolored Sharpie markers for creating vibrant and visually striking artworks. - **Stippling Ink Spots:** Growing interest in stippling ink spots as a technique for adding texture and depth to artwork. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Artistic Tools and Supplies:** Potential for manufacturers of artistic tools and supplies to develop innovative products specifically tailored for unconventional drawing techniques. - **Art Education:** Opportunity for art schools and educators to incorporate unconventional drawing techniques into their curriculum and explore new avenues of artistic expression. - **Fine Art Exhibition:** Rising interest in unconventional artwork could lead to increased demand for unique art exhibitions and galleries specializing in nontraditional techniques. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Art Doodle-Collaborative Napkins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tissue-box-collection.md) - [Robotic Portrait Sketches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pankraz-piktograph.md) - [Stunning Origami Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-portaits.md) - [Sculptural Writing Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/experimental-pencils.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [Playful Doodle-Emblazoned Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sam-cox.md) - [Hyper-Realistic Flesh Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junji-ito.md) - [Artistic AI Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sketcher-x.md) - [Art Technique Activities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multiactivities-scratch-art.md)
