	Hedcut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The drawings are traditionally 18 by 31 Picas (roughly 3" by 5"), and use the stipple method of many small dots to create an image.
		The Wall Street Journal first began using hedcuts in 1979 when freelance artist Kevin Sprouls approached the paper with some ink dot illustrations he'd created.
		In 2002, the Smithsonian Institute acquired 66 original hedcut drawings and have put them on permanent display in the National Portrait Gallery.

	How It's Done (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Hedcuts are working drawings of approximately three by five inches (or exactly 18 x 31 picas-a typographical unit), intended for reproduction at one-third scale.
		The original stipple hedcut drawings are frequently annotated with the initials of the artist and the date of its execution, which makes it possible to compare the hands of different artists.
		Although the date of execution is often noted on the finished hedcut drawing, it does not necessarily correspond to the drawing's publication.

		Over the past few weeks, the paper has been auctioning off the original drawings for what it calls "hedcuts" -- those pen-and-ink portraits of faces in the news.
		Over the past month, we found no hedcuts on which we wanted to bid, but we thought we'd give it one more try in this, the final week of the auction, devoted to portraits of actors, musicians, writers and other participants in the arts.
		So there we were, trying to figure out which of the drawings we could afford given the Research Lab's measly budget for interior decorating.

		While I have seen notorious figures as varied as Jeffrey Skilling (Enron knucklehead) and Scott Petersen (wife-killer) get the hedcut treatment, most are done of people who have made the news for good reasons.

		Hi, I'm a staff portrait illustrator at the Wall Street Journal in New York.
		I also do a lot of freelance stipple work on a side (many people want to see themselves as a Journal hedcut and I'm NOT complaining!) I'm also very involved with my website, collaborating with my talented web designer.
		Even though I have a very "analog" job, I love computers and everything digital, including digital photography.
