Sleeveface

Sleeveface is an internet phenomenon wherein one or more persons obscure or augment body parts with record sleeve(s), causing an illusion.

The precise origin of the concept is unknown. A collection of photographs was posted online at [http://waxidermy.com/ Waxidermy.com] in early 2006, [http://www.waxidermy.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=1116 waxidermy bbs :: View topic - Faces Staring at You / post your now face album mug ] ] but a 2008 BBC article claims the idea was created by a group of people in Cardiff, Wales. Cardiff's Carl Morris is compiling a book on the subject.

One case of a "sleeveface" before the internet phenomenon and website, was the album cover by DJ J Rocc, whose own sleeve (front and back) was done in the group sleeveface style. [ [http://stonesthrow.com/records/sth2054.html J Rocc "Play This (One)"] ]
