Sleeveface is an internet phenomenon wherein one or more persons obscure or augment body parts with record sleeve(s), causing an illusion. Sleeveface has become popular on social networking sites.
The precise origin of the concept is unknown. A collection of photographs was posted online at Waxidermy.com in early 2006, but a 2008 BBC article claims the idea was created by a group of people in Cardiff, Wales. Cardiff's Carl Morris has compiled a book on the subject.
One case of a "sleeveface" before the internet phenomenon and website was ab album cover by DJ J Rocc, whose own sleeve (front and back) was done in the group sleeveface style.
