My christmas present to tumblr

dmterminology:

I will design a custom logo or tattoo for whoever re blogs this before December 28. It will be based on your blog.

I dont care how many people reblog and i appologize ahead of time if im drawing for the next five years. I DO promise an art thing for whoever reblogs(assuming you dont delete your page or some thing). You can count on it! c;

A beard-related logo/tattoo could be cool.

Asking for Movember Donations (last attempt)

Repost from before….

Hey y’all. Probably much to many of your dismay, I will be shaving the beard and joining up with Movember. It has been over 4 years since I have been clean shaven. I look funny as hell with a mustache, but this is an extremely great cause. I have two days to reach my goal of $100; if I surpass $100, that would be amazing. Even if you just donate $1 to me, it all helps and, again, it all goes to a great cause! Thank you for your consideration (and even reading this post!). Please reblog if you can.

As a Halloween scare (or treat) here is what I look like with a dirty mustache, and I plan to cultivate something similar. (This is from 4.5 years ago)

Day 365. So this is it. The last day of The Year of the Beard. Thank you to all of my followers who have joined along the way, whether you have been here since the blog’s inception or since last week—I appreciate all of you. Thank you to those who have liked or reblogged any of my pictures. You have temporarily boosted my ego for a year’s time. I realize(d) that this blog was quite narcissistic, but as I said in a post on my new blog, it kept me honest and had me doing something somewhat productive each day. I do have regrets regarding this blog; namely, that I did not start with a “fresh canvas”. This I can attribute to not wanting to lose any length before Nationals. I also regret not taking measurements more often.
With that said, a beard length update: I started at 2 inches / 5 centimeters. I am ending at 3 1/8 inches / 9 centimeters on average. In one year’s time, with one or two light/needed trims, it ends with 1.125 inches of growth. That is a smaller number, and a much slower growth, than I thought it would be. It got extremely thick. My beard hair is extremely dense, as evidenced to those who can see it in person, but that was not my ultimate goal. In the end, I am happy with this, and what I have done. I hope that this blog has made some smile, or enjoy my little snippets of life and its happenings.This blog will not be active anymore, as it was a year-long project. I will make one, possibly two, more posts with a gif or two and possibly a video cataloguing the days.
Again, thank you. Farewell, for now. If you are in Philly, find me at a show and say what’s up. If not, it’s been cool. The ask box will be on indefinitely. Take care everyone.

Day 364. So this is the new year. We are one day away from the completion of this blog. I guess I should start working on this gif, huh? P.S. I started a new year-long blog. Follow that, please!

Day 362. Spent the day working in the box office at UT. It was a slow day in there. Now I’m just hanging at the house and later I’m going to go the TLA for the Thursday show. Should be a decent night.

About

This blog will follow Brian Hexter's beard growth for a year in pictures. His beard is that of folk-lore. His legend has grown exponentially as his beard has gained length. Children fear him. Elders respect and covet him. Animals seek shelter within. The current length, both in time and duration, is unknown. The last known date of trimming is spotty; mid-October is a good guesstimate. Brian Hexter is a proud member of Beard Team USA, a co-founder of the Philadelphia Beard and Mustache Club and an advocate for facial hair of most types--those not approved should know who they are and hang their heads in shame. Share this with friends, relatives, enemies and perfect strangers. NOTES: This is partly an experiment to see how big my beard can become and how long it takes for one of my jobs to yell at me for beard length. I'm also trying to get a pretty sweet GIF out of it in the end. Trimming is a necessary function/evil and will occasionally happen to keep it kempt. I do work 4 jobs and carry on a busy life. I will attempt to update this every day at roughly the same time, but life happens. Do not despair.
