How'd you pick your avatar?

I just noticed that my profile is all crazy with the CC stuph

Whelan's having a showing in Connecticut right now, although it looks like "Friday" won't be in the collection.  Also looks like I'd have to win the lottery to afford any of his paintings.

I like this one,http://michaelwhelan.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=33_36&products_id=101&osCsid=88a9004884ab0a3764fd400a72ae3be7 ( I know to cute, but I like it anyway) Some of his use of color
and lighting reminds me of Maxfield Parrishhttp://www.artpassions.net/cgi-bin/parrish.pl?../galleries/parrish/enchanted_prince.jpg

I was just watching "Pitch Black", and dang if Radha Mitchell isn't a dead ringer for my avatar.  It's uncanny!  Check it out:

Maybe the artist used her for a model.

Nope, the book with that cover came out in the mid-80's, and the movie came out in 1999/2000.

OK, rainey. I see the chickens in front of an oven or microwave but I can't read the small print.

I'll let you know what it says.   I thought about that after looking at it and I figured no one would care, thanks Pat!   

It says "Horror Movie".   

Knowing me, I'll probably be changing my avatar today anyway.

I made a pretty good copy of Pat's avatar once using a sheet and an old oil lamp.

I'm really sorry and I know your going to get upset but I don't understand this either, Lloyd.

Hey Russell...Like my new avatar?  You gave me the inspiration at the Apple Festival (and may I say, I didn't realize you knew me that well!).   

Alice is a hard-working engineer from the Dilbert comic strip. She is one of Dilbert's co-workers in the department. She has long curly hair...

Alice is rarely rewarded for her hard work, although she was for a time the highest paid engineer in the company. At another time she was feted for receiving her seventeenth patent. She stands in contrast with Wally, who does no work and is rewarded nearly the same....

She was almost into a committed relationship with an emotionally supportive man but turned him down at the last minute, as she decided it would be more cost-effective to train monkeys to do the same work....

Alice has a short temper. Her anger is frequently expressed in physical violence, most often manifested in the form of her "Fist of Death"....

If it makes you feel any better, Russell, you were a tremendous portion of the inspiration for the booger hut guy.
