With many Facebook users boasting hundreds of friends each, Adam Ellis picked a smart place to look for the perfect muses for his 'Never Be My Friend' project. As the name suggests, this project has helped Adam Ellis lose a couple of friends on Facebook -- but only those who weren't a good sport about his cartooned-friend renditions.
Adam Ellis has got a ton of talent when it comes to illustration, and his ability to take a simple portrait and cartoonize it is impressive. Personally, I'd be honored if I was Adam Ellis' friend and he chose to mock me in an illustration; in fact, I may even go as far as to say these illustrations are profile picture-worthy!
