fishermen grow beards too

this is Frank he's in Santa Barbara and runs a bait & tackle store on the pier there... I originally said hello cos he had a lovely lady inked on his arm but having snapped him for my holiday momentos I thought heck - that's a beard right there! do say hello to him if you're ever passing by, very nice friendly fisherman type :)

growing for the show

This is team LA beard and tash champs... I bumped into them at the LA Roller Derby and was MUCH saddened to hear I would miss the Annual champs by only a couple of days #sadtimes

but at least I got to check out their hard work and get some snaps #winning

Hold the pancakes!

Just as I sat down to enjoy my Palm Springs pancakes & syrup at Ruby's Diner on my recent jaunt to California* THIS guy walked past the front window! Hold my breakfast I HAVE to have this beard for my blog... I saw him look like he headed into the shop next door so I wandered casually in but he wasn't there... then the shop next door to that was a hat shop where he was looking for some sun protection and I stalked the poor fella casually until I faked a bump into in the central aisle! Hello! I abused the English charm to the max, what a lovely beard etc ;) Sam was happy to tell me it took 8 years to grow and that the local gals didn't much dig facial hair - I told him get thee to Europe my friend! Amazing start to my Californian beards fest... !


*promise I'm NOT name dropping too much ;) 

sketchy beard

This is another surprise art beard I stumbled upon in an art gallery in San Diego, I did write down the name of the artist but I can't find it - still unpacking and digesting my trip so when I find it I'll add it... meantime what a great sketch featuring a beard! :)

on the tracks

On a train to Birmingham recently I met this chap collecting tickets, the thing with this friendly looking facial is, he had more tucked away!this was work style... that tash corner is folded in on itself! I wish I coulda got a shot of it 'untucked' but I know it would be fabulous...

got wood

In Liverpool's Walker Art Gallery upstairs, turn right then a couple of lefts you'll find this guy! Love to come across a surprise beard especially one as crafted as this one :D

This was a creative looking facial that I happened upon during Sound City in May in Liverpool... We didn't get many deets on this one but always glad to se creative adventures in facial hair!
