James has quite the fanbase. More than 1.39 million followers on Facebook. 1.9 million fans on Instagram. And a further 1.6 million happy campers on Twitter. That’s the kind of attention that you get only by providing consistent and quality entertainment.

Here’s the best part—James is open to requests and will happily edit your pics. Just keep in mind that your request might be made… public. Very public, in fact.

That’s why Fridman has a warning plastered everywhere: “Do not submit any personal photos that you do not want to be made public.” In other words, if you dare ask the Photoshop Wizard to cast a spell, don’t be surprised when you’re made to look like a fool. (Having a sense of humor and being able to laugh at yourself help quite a bit, we think.)

And in case you think that being able to laugh at yourself is a bunch of New Age baloney, here’s a truth bomb for ya: scientists have found, again and again, that laughter helps you manage stress. Not just on a spiritual but also on a biochemical level.

Not only does laughter shut down the production of stress hormones (e.g. cortisol), it also releases “feel-good” chemicals like dopamine into your system. Feeling stressed out? Have a laugh. Or better yet, send in a photo for this Internet troll to edit. Just keep in mind that you have to give him clear instructions of what you want your Photoshopped images to look like. Monkey’s Paw, remember?

Storytelling, journalism, and art are a core part of who I am. I've been writing and drawing ever since I could walk—there is nothing else I'd rather do. My formal education, however, is focused on politics, philosophy, and economics because I've always been curious about the gap between the ideal and the real. At work, I'm a Senior Writer and I cover a broad range of topics that I'm passionate about: from psychology and changes in work culture to healthy living, relationships, and design. In my spare time, I'm an avid hiker and reader, enjoy writing short stories, and love to doodle. I thrive when I'm outdoors, going on small adventures in nature. However, you can also find me enjoying a big mug of coffee with a good book (or ten) and entertaining friends with fantasy tabletop games and sci-fi movies.

It may have started out as trolling but nowadays I'm sure most people send them in with intentionally vague requests just to see how he will "twist" them. Regardless of the actual reason, love his work. I especially like the ones where it seems that they sent them in due to low self esteem (like the one with the facial birthmark) and instead of fixing them he tries to bring their self esteem up.

The guy's not a "troll." He doesn't make unsolicited comments or "alterations." People purposely go to him. More often, it's for the positive validation they know he'll give, which is a rarity in today's world.
