Cover Girl
So yesterday evening I mosey on down to the New England School of Art and Design at Suffolk University (NESAD) for the first session of my penultimate graphic design class. Incidentally, it’s a class with a female instructor and twelve female students-most of whom I know from previous classes-and me.
I walked in and before I could even sit down, Ellen is giving me shit about presumably being on the cover of some NESAD brochure. I express my disbelief in typically eloquent fashion, but follow up on her challenge to go check it out.
In a couple of the literature racks around the building I find a white 5.5 x 8.5" brochure-NESAD’s continuing ed fall 2004 course catalog- and, yes, I’m right there on the cover.
I’m there in full skinhead glory, wearing my green Toasters tee shirt, jaw hanging open, cutting a mat for a print in Ken Martin’s spring photography class. Clearly, it was one of the shots he took while we were working. Goof.
Amusingly, the image is repeated on page 12, the “Administrators” page, but it’s been mirrored, so that I’m facing left instead of right. Like no one is gonna notice that? Amateurs…
But I must say, it’s pretty amusing to think that they’d choose my image to sell the school, even to continuing ed students. But, hey: I made the cover! Makes me wonder about whether I should have pursued that modeling career I looked into ten years ago…
