For very sad reasons, I don’t get to do very much art here at Exeter (my first and only course will be next term, Painting 204) but that doesn’t mean I’m not an artistic person! Even my creativity is more generally expressed through words, I’m not completely hopeless when it comes to graphic arts. I have to know my way around Photoshop to do you know, normal-life stuff, and I saw a neat little inspiration the other day from this tutorial at Lifehacker.

I quickly whipped up this fake ad for Julbo sunglasses, the brand I am wearing in this photo–it’s from Academy Life Day at the beach. I thought some of my readers might be interested in having a vague approximation of what I look like, since not everyone has gone and visited the extensive photo gallery I have hosted which better answers the question. Flickr be damned.
