I recently got passport style photos for some paperwork I had to send in. Thanks to Covid hair and the neutral look, I joked I looked like a Ukrainian arms dealer.
'You need boolets? I give you boolets, you give me American Big Mac? We make good deal, yes?"
Good news, I… bit the bullet, and cut my hair last weekend.
In completely unrelated news, I bought a neat new hat.
At first I was like “Oh no, Rob is at it again…” then saw that a neural network learned to emulate the bests of Rob’s works.
Adobe Beschizza CC 2021 coming soon to your desktops & mobile devices!
Quiet! We don’t want to draw attention to the faceless men who are preparing an “accident” for Trump.
So that’s why fully botoxed people never smile!
Old Stephen Miller never looked better. Shudder.
Wish I hadn’t seen that.
Hell, I got my passport card a year ago and it still makes me look like some kind of Eastern European goon from central casting. I think it’s the combination of not smiling and not wearing my glasses.
OH yeah, no glasses.That didn’t help things either.
Passport pictures are what people really look like.

Funny how “happy Trump with more hair” looks a lot like Boris Johnson.
I was fully expecting a ‘mouths as eyes’ filter.
Maybe next release.
But you just know Rob will be having some fun with this one in future blog posts.
When I saw the early announcement about these features, I realized that even used judiciously, this was going to be a one-button tool to make images look “wrong” and not be able to easily tell why or what was done to them. Fun!
@beschizza Even your angry looks happy!
Melania looks even more frightening…
You beet the boolet?
Possibilities are endless. I don’t know if that’s good or bad…
Oh I dunno – Rob strikes me as one who enjoys the artistry of doing his nightmare edits manually. LOL
