What the hell is this," you might well ask.

"I know, I know this looks more than a little narcissistic. But it's so damn cool and so damn random that I had to post it.

Let me try to explain.

Some of you may have noticed the partial beard I've been sporting recently. What you may not know is that I'm growing it for a cause. Well, not so much a "cause" as a bizarre experiment, but who am I to proclaim a difference.

Martin Van Velsen at ICT is working on a "talking portrait" project, and has asked me to keep my scruff and serve as his model because, in his words, I look "perfect for the 17th century." I guess I'll take that as a compliment.

The final shoot is going on this Wednesday, after which I'm determined to shave. But Martin did a quick sample photo session, and churned this out in literally twenty minutes. Perhaps I should invest in some frilly jackets, and a curling iron.

More on the project in Martin's neighborhood.

Frak me that is AMAZING.

I'd say it's less frilly jackets than a vintage piece of bradded leather armor. But the curling iron is a must.

I feel like you should be coming at me, telling me I killed your father and should prepare to die... but that enigmatic smile is so damn disarming...

Get a pony.
