The Mettas are a set of characters created from faces found in everyday objects (known as pareidolia) by Mark Baker on his travels around the world in 2015. Below you can see which pareidolia faces inspired which Metta character.

Mark is writing a book about each character and is looking for a literary agent and publisher (www.the-mettas.com/books/).

So if you think you can help please do let him know.
