John had stepped by Maurtia Falls to run errands for the girl - the usual busywork like picking up dry cleaning, shaking payments out of venue owners, replenishing her makeup kit (how did she go through eyeliner so fast?). He's doing the latter, stepping out of a drug shop when he glances up and sees the stupid billboard.
He'd signed up for the modelling contest for the lark, and showed up for the shoot because the money was good. But he'd also been a deliberate slouch, sabotaging every attempt they made at getting a decent photo. Public attention wasn't really his style. But the bastards had made it work. And insult to injury, the billboard was across the street from one of the kids' preferred concert halls.
The image is a blown-up picture of him looking as curmudgeonly as ever with a cigarette. The background was edited to look like a grungy, urban backdrop rather than the studio he'd been in. Imposed across the negative space of the photo was the advertising text, stylized with an attempt at punky lettering:
SMOKING ISN'T COOL its blazing C&M TOBACCO
Trying not to draw attention to himself, John takes a photo of the visual atrocity, sending it to the person he knows would most want to destroy it. ]
