Pals face debt-free life as ads idea pays off

Two graduates have found the perfect place to advertise their latest business venture, and hopefully wipe out their student debt – their faces.

Former Cambridge University students Ross Harper, whose father comes from Wolverhampton, and Ed Moyse will be renting their faces out as online billboards for the next year.

The pair are offering to paint a different logo, symbol or message on their faces each day with advertising space starting at £1.

A picture of the face, complete with painted logo, is then posted online at the website Buymyface.com for public view across the country and potentially the world.

Following five months of face-painting practice they launched the website on October 1. It has already raised more than £5,000.
