FUCK Face/Bar Code Self Portrait

I wrote "FUCK" on my forehead for severqal reasons. One is because I created this portrait in 15 seconds using a bar code postscript which the same process takes my bar code halftone program 4 days to complete. I was also inspired by Abbie Hoffman, who used to write that illegal word on his forehead to detere any unwanted press photographers. This self-portrait is about being in the business of designer pixels.
