Faces Of Death (FOD) began in zine form in 1997 with project co-founder Milton Carter, and has since evolved into limited edition group-show time-capsule prints, with production maintained by Michael Hambouz since 2013. All are welcome to participate in this project, no fee to participate, and print purchase is optional. Public Open Call is posted with all sign-up/print/spec details via Instagram/e-mail in following January-ish of each year.
[UPDATE: we have finally reached our limit of contributors, the 2025 edition will not have a public open call- invitations will go out to consistent past participants, with outreach to earliest contributors prioritized.
The annual happening brings together established gallery/museum-exhibiting artists, illustrators, journalists, kids, fashion designers, filmmakers, hairstylists, acupuncturists, rock-n-rollers, tattoo artists, photographers, teachers, chefs, and more—all via word-of-mouth, all are welcomed—to reflect on loss and help preserve legacy through art and storytelling.
In the spirit of respecting spirits, FOD maintains a not-for-profit philosophy—all edition sales cover production expenses and help sustain the project, now in its 28th year.
