CSM summer project

I recently received an email from Central Saint Martin's - welcoming me to the BA course and giving me more information than I'll probably ever need.

The email requested that I prepare a self portrait on a postcard-sized format. I am supposed to bring it on the first day.

I decided to incorporate what I learned about  being a 'creative' person (i.e. we're all a bunch of stirrers) and add something about myself. I think my obsession and fear/worry/stress over the end of the world is one key element in my life. Finally to make things directly relate to me there's my actual portrait.

So from my mouth sticks out a wooden stirrer and on it perches my dinosaur. This may not be very clear but here's the task:
'Draw a self portrait on a postcard (148mm x 105mm), using any media and bring it with you on the first day.'
Please note nothing is mentioned about having to make sense or be clear or decipherable. I have a feeling this is an ambush anyway so I might as well give some meat for the critique. Also - the course is supposed to make me a better designer so I will let it handle my crap fisrt.
