came across this online demo of some police sketch-artist software. thought i’d test it out, see if the fuzz would be able to identify me with nothing more than a witness’ limited memory and a computers’ limited imagination. the results? not too bad as you can see. though i detect what may be a fatal flaw in the system. i could not add the soul patch to my beard /mustache combo in order to create the all important tri-fecta of facial hair. “hey copper that guy in your sketch looks nothing like me man! he doesn’t have a pussy bumper!” also it seems anyone with a mono-brow or high top fade has free reign to pillage and plunder without recourse. the system did an excellent

job of sketching one particular wanted, fugitive, missing person. if he ever comes out of hiding and shows his face again somewhere other than in a plate of waffles or a grilled cheese sandwich they’ve got him for sure!

lordy lordy lordy. this software might be a perfect avatar generator if nothing else, or maybe they should integrate this with one of those 8 zillion friend / dating sites so you can just rough out a vision of your ideal mate? anyhow, it’s pretty fun to mess around with, check it out. email me your self portraits if you want and i’ll post them.
