Drawing faces has got to be one of the most difficult exercises in life. Even being off by 1 millimeter can change a face significantly. Nevertheless, I’m pretty content with the result this time; it’s definitely better than my last attempt.
I spent about 1.5 hours on this sketch.

The Phusion Passenger community sponsorship campaign has progressed very quickly. It’s been a few days and we’re already at 27%! Thanks for your support!
However, many people have reported that the Pledgie Paypal page is in Dutch. We’ve contacted Pledgie, and it turns out to be a bug in Paypal. The nice guys at Pledgie have implemented a workaround for this problem, so everything should be in English again. Our apologies for the inconvenience!

NOTE: Some people have reported that they’re unable to pay with American Express credit cards. We’re currently contacting Paypal about this problem.

Phusion Passenger 2.1 beta is about to be released, and it contains many improvements. But before we release 2.1 beta, we’d like to ask the support of the community. We’ve just launched the first Phusion Passenger community sponsorship campaign. If you’ve ever wanted to show your gratitude to Phusion Passenger, then this is your chance!
Thank you for your support!

NOTE: Some people might see the Paypal page in Dutch. We do not yet know why this happens. But if you’re wondering what to choose in the country drop-down box: “United States” is “Verenigde Staten” in Dutch. This has now been fixed.

I haven’t seriously drawn anything for 1.5 years now. Last Friday I decided that it’s time to resume my activities.

This was done in roughly 2 hours entirely with pencil. This sketch is based on one of the works of the Taiwanese artist Dezhen.
