jimmy niggles is my new boyfriend! pictures by brock elbank (via Mr. Elbank)

Mr. Elbank: Nordic Viking Mr Niggles was introduced to me through a mutual mate Mr May.. On seeing Jimmy’s fine beard on Facebook I got in touch with May and asked for his details… What followed was a 6 month pursuit to shoot him and the beard ‘Barry’.. I had a meeting at the agency Bango, where a certain Nordic Viking works and finally we pinned down a day to shoot the portrait..

Niggles has an eccentric way about him and his appearance, he is a good sort and a good laugh..
‘Barry’ the beard is so dense it has it’s own postal code, it’s a beauty.. On uploading the first portrait on Facebook a female friend of mine made this comment Very. Good. Looking. Bearded. Man..
I replied he was not good looking or have a beard when he arrived for his portrait..

Melbourne lad Jimmy has his own site THIS IS BEARD which Jimmy started after his mate Wes Bonny found out he had a melanoma on his neck. A few months later he tragically passed away. Jimmy, alongside a few of his mates started Beard Season in an effort spread the word about how important it is to check your skin and know what to look for..
