Mine was easy. Well, not really, i had to cap, crop and shrink from a Futurama episode. And i had to find the proper scene. Come to think of it, it was a pain in the ass.

I mostly lurk, but that might change.

Anyway, mine is the exploding head from the original Dawn of the Dead.

:lovehearts:

So many posters here are women and I never even knew it.

:jumping:

As of today 100107 mine is this old scan of an image from Fortean Times from (I think) publicity for the first X-Files movie.

But I'll probably change it fairly frequently.

I like to change avs often, as well.

Never been the most prolific of posters round here, but due to some recent changes in workplace internet usage policies, I may be forced into lurk mode to large extent. Nevertheless, I figured I could buck the system long enough to register an avatar. I haven't a clue who the artist is, but thought this old (medieval? renaissance?...) woodcut of a werewolf seemed to fit well enough.

One light in the dark: the new board is much more readable on my phone. It's still a pain in the ass to write anything more than a sentence or two, but at least I can still lurk without having to worry about "The Man" looking over my shoulder. Cheers to all who worked on making the changes.

Because I like Vasarely. He went so well with hallucinogens back in the day.
