Portrait of a teenager

Inspired by a drawing done by Ed Brisson, I sketched a quick portrait of myself at the tender age of 15. Like many teenagers I was kind of an idiot. Perhaps the most unforgivable of my many mistakes were the oversized pants cut well above the ankle. Combine that with my ridiculous hair and innate “beat-up” appeal, it’s a surprise I didn’t get pounded more often. And boy did I ever love Doritos!

    Yeah I have to agree with MRM. While your drawing is accurate (Doritos! I forgot about that), the effect wasn’t as horrible as your remembrances suggest.
