Who or What is your avatar?

[jaques]

My avatar is Jaques, a character I identify with from a comic book series called "The Stellar Losers." The drawing is by a wonderful artist and great guy, now deceased, named Danny Fahs. I like to think that every post I write helps immortalize his work and memory, although of course almost no one has ever heard of him.

Mine is me, late at night, about 2 years ago.

Jexik, I love your Miami Vice look!

Mine is my favorite animal, fresh from a meal.

Mine is a recent cover of Daredevil by John Romita Sr., one of my favorite comic artist, known mainly for his work on Spider-Man and 1950s romance comics. I may someday change it to a pic of Sherman Davies, but I'm worried about confusing people.

Mine is a picture of one of my Atlas minis for Battletech.

"The sight of BattleMechs lumbering across the terrain is a familiar one among the worlds of the Inner Sphere. Nevertheless, the sight of an AS7-D Atlas still manages to make even experienced MechWarriors break out in a sweat and brings the bitter taste of bile to their mouths. The Atlas was designed as a last-ditch attempt to ensure the superiority of the Star League's Regular Army over the growing armies of the House Lords.
...
General Kerensky himself set down the specifications for the Atlas. He said that it should be "a 'Mech as powerful as possible, as impenetrable as possible, and as ugly and foreboding as conceivable, so that fear itself will be our ally."

Sorry - he's one of the main characters in one of my favorite graphic novels, "Box Office Poison." Here's a wikipedia link:

I can't seem to find a picture of him that I'm happy with and would use as an avatar anyway.

WAIT! All this time I've been mistrusting you over the fact that you use your real name and I've been mistaken? Sorry pal. Anybody who would use their real name online is someone to aviod at all costs, you know?

What a strange state of affairs- a brave new world wherein real names are suspicious!

Anyhow, my avatar is a postage stamp from a kinda recent series of classic Australian Rock Poster art. The art is from 1979, and for the classic Austrailian rock band Midnight Oil. Barely a pop music footnote over here, they were adored by the public in Austrailia and other parts of Europe for over 20 years. They did score one each of a US platinum and Gold certification, but this was 20 years ago. Same year as "appetite for destruction" by Guns and Butter. Bart Simpson beat them for the US Rolling Stone cover, but they snagged it 5 times in Oz, once for being named "band of the 80s". They made # 13 on the RS greatest albums of the 80s list, but were gone and forgotten by the time the RS Presents the 500 Greatest Records of All Time book was published. Curious.

This marks the second stamp to honor the band. The first was in 2001 and a part of a series commerating the greatest Austrailian rock bands of all time.

Their singer, once declared a national treasure and knighted into the "order of Australia", is currently a politican- Labour Party Shadow Minister for Climate and the Arts. He used to jump around the stage and waved his hands into the air alot. Their logo is an reverse negative of his hand being flailed about. My professor really liked it on my beanie.

Anyhow, I think it makes each of my posts kinda like a little e-letter.

Enough rambling from me...time to play some Oils.
