Selfie Official Artbook (Kickstarter)

Dreamslandia Studio just contacted me to let me know of their upcoming artbook that's on selfie art. They are challenging the notion that you don't have to be famous to appear in an artbook. It looks like it's going to be a portrait artbook but I do see chibi style drawings that's usually not associated with portraits.
