On this page, two artists interpret one of the character portraits with a story or tattoo. Ken (the subject of the character portraits) in turn, created portraits of each artist.


Based on this photographic portrait, Pamela Bingcang wrote a story imagining that character's day.

shit, man, I even got time to spare. won't know half the difference where I went. got a belly full of chicken nuggets shake fries even now some caffeine. all the McD's in the world course I get stuck working wheren't miles around. Bus. least I got a pass makes no difference. Perfect crime. maybe even sneak out a little earlier next time even tomorrow maybe. Doable. can't be spending so much on crap though especially that. Gotta save it. When I need a break. Maybe when he likes my work just getting started anyway still early in the summer. Yeah. Bus bus bus. Gotta push myself though can't be messin around like this I guess fucked if I gotta spend more loan money on shit I shouldn't even be. damn even this ghetto latte. Stomach hurts. least all this hustling burn it off. Tunes helping me out here. god, this is the best, just the fucking best. feel like I'm in a platformer battling Bowser or something like that. even she said is that megaman? when she came in first time man how'd she even know about megaman never seen her close to a Nintendo in her life but for me. But for me. Her asleep, god knows what time. Otaku kind of dark. Just look back and the blue light flashing on her face so unnatural but no other way. Perfect. She said the get missile noise made her sleepy. what was up with that anyway. cute though dunno why. wonder if anyone's sampled that. anamanaguchi should work out a love song or something. but man I dunno love stories in video games aren't ever all that good. there was that one yeah but that one made Joe cry. not the main story but that about his dad. yeah that was a rough one. dies in childbirth and all that. youtube that ending later. that was another late nighter can't believe how long ago that was. is that the 65 better be. finally. still good on time just hope I'm not a sweaty mess when I get back. good thing least I don't smell I've got that least. One in a million. Shit, Dor, yeah one in a million. Maybe that's my curse k got to stop remembering now's not a good time will be back at work soon gotta switch to work mode switch this out time to remember her later time to forget. some weird crap on that seat better walk back. that's some crazy suit that guy's wearing wonder where he's going all like that. still doesn't beat that guy in a red suit red shoes eight in the morning. can't imagine I'll ever have anything like that I've always been ok with button downs uniforms save time in the morning never one for fashion not like I even have the cash for it but I will but I will that's the plan I s'pose. what am I even going to spend it on how many games can I possibly buy maybe I'll like yachts or something then expensive dinners sounds good oh yeah there was that one time we were driving down here looking for that what outback yeah dunno how we missed that so bad just kept driving driving somehow ended up Paramus so stupid late getting back just didn't want to go back home neither of just kept going had to turn back didn't know where we were anymore just silence all lost and all never did get dinner that night. Good to remember this at least taint it up a bit though I guess doesn't work like that if that's what I'm trying to do should go and look that up again what what was that like slotus no what lotus yeah something gotta check. oh nice what's this one called tempest teamwork triumph T T T just like me I guess wonder what she'd say if she saw me like this. dunno if. dunno if I would. time wastes time wastes and how's it gonna be that's what they all asked me all those interviews all the same never had a good answer still taking it day by day couldn't just say that though what did I say anyway maybe in government something like that something lame vague always been bad at making that up anyways least he took me anyway and too fast barely started already like summer'll be over soon don't even know what happened to spring now just the burn the gleam of concrete pavement strip malls into graffiti passing by me and not for her and not for me really either. but I think but I know there'll be time later to remember to really remember and it will be different then a little less true and gone one day. Loftus. Yes Loftus. Mel would've been interested in all that all that memory stuff always had a better head for science never did care for psychology though I wonder what she'd make of it so much depends on credibility but how can you know how can you. that guy that on the radio the saddest thing the purest memory only the one unremembered. stop coming up. press that thing don't want to touch that lady's hair. wrong idea. not in the mood for that just careful yeah. don't want her to get the wrong idea.

maybe we should have just gone to great adventure like what j told me about that dude and his girl so messed up blood coming out so messed up is that even true probably yeah we should have just done that tried it at least maybe Mel'd still be here who knows god fucking one in a million if that fuck. Stomach still hurts. Got time still don't need to jog maybe just walk fast not too fast fuck gotta get my mind off just push it down do my work maybe one day I can convince myself get someone to convince me something else happened like six flags worked some fucking fiction where Mel's still here and I'm just a chump she dumped long ago won't have anything to do with sneaks off for chicken nuggets writing shitty flailing failing fuck. no. even sadder than that gotta toss this almost there and how can I keep this no this face on like just nothing like after no and Mel came out just looking like nothing no idea what to say no idea no fuck she just wanted pancakes all I could do get her to an ihop no just no the saddest fucking pancakes her Buddha face talking about katamari or something somehow just so relieved guilty for feeling relieved just wanted to do something for her anything she just said no just wanted to sleep and then anything else no no she didn't need anything no she didn't need me didn't even go up to see her just like she disappeared all I can do remember. Just a couple more blocks. Shake this off. Doing good, doing good. just bring my lunch from now on too much for McD not helping my workout none neither. least stop by the bathroom on the way up wash up a bit least get it together. time to spare. no rush make it back. just like I went round the corner like I went no where.
