Sort of like full screen vs. letterboxing/widescreen buddy.

I thought I'd retire Kierkegaard and give in... to temptation.

In honour of the massive revelations bestowed upon me my these Metal Kings, most recently by their double dvd "Absolute Power" and the "Gods of War" masterpiece cd, Manowar KILLS WITH POWER!

Might we hear more about the backstory of your current avatar?

As you have been able to tell, I have been changing avatars like socks.  However, the WWII avatar that I tried recently hit a chord with me and images from this period I find to be powerful.  Lately I have been doing some reading on WWII and also have been getting back into some WWII figure painting (1:35 scale).  So, I thought that I would change my avatar based on the month/date and connect to some WWII events/images.  On a more personal connection, my grandfather and Uncle Bill (whom I was named after) served during WWII, so I am also doing it to honor them and all the other veterans that came before, now serve, and will come after.  Just a lot of layers here for me that have all come together at once buddy.

Did the caricature have any script with it?

[pjme]

No script... it's a clip from a 1930-ies (French) magazine and gives no clue at all....

My favorite writer and the greatest single artistic influence on my life (so far, of course). I'm rereading the short stories.

I'm not quite sure what I should install as an avatar, so i just chose myself.
