?!??!?!?!


Here is a lovely image of Derrik Gregory, "facing" his face off. Derrick's recent style has been quite grotesque, and very reminiscent of the Gremlins films. Nice work.

Face Trance...France?

This is a truly magical moment in facing. Tyler is captured, presumably changing from one creature into another. Shape Shifter? Perhaps. You be the judge.

Here is good example of tandem facing. This image features Reggie Pace, Taylor Burton, and Jason Arce. Note the subtle differences in technique. Everyone has their own style, which has given facing such a rich and varied tradition. Thanks to Reggie Pace for supplying this spectacular image! Well done sirs.

Flog (Face Blog)

Greetings fellow persons. You have come to Das Flog. "So what is Das Flog?" you may ask yourself, and in response we may tell you that it is, in the simplest term available at hand, "a Blog of Faces. A Face Blog: Flog." Simply put, this blog, or "flog", is a place to openly discuss the important issues of life, without any verbal discussion. A forum for those interested to pour their hearts and souls into cyberspace through open facial discourse, or what we here at Das Flog have come to term "Facing".

So what is "facing"? "Facing" is, as we define it, the pure and unadulterated exertion of energy through facial contortion and rearrangement; i.e. making ridiculous faces.
It is not just a means of personal expression, but an outlet of pure spiritual force, in that if we all "face" each other, regardless of race, gender, religion, or politics, we all have the ability to look equally ridiculous, and in turn, equally amazing.

In conclusion, this "flog" is not a mere venue of face-petition, but an open forum, aimed at uniting the world through the common glory of facial contortion. So kick off your shoes, grab a frosty brew, and prepare to suck your face as far as you can into the center of your head...and take several photographs of it...and promptly send them our way.
