Cris' Sweet Kitty always impress me.. :D
it's my all time fav
I give it 5 stars *****
what's your fav avatars..current members, old members..lost members..your call..!!
PS: Please feel free to use your own rating scheme..scale 0-10, 0-100, 0-1000, one star, five star...etc..
Cheers,

My favorite avatar probably belongs to Basil, merely out of its sheer randomness.

....sheer randomness.......hmmmmm......does Basil have that picture of an older lady staring studiously, eyes with a some distance focus......?
okay, gotta go avatar hunting on the members list before choosing a fave.....ttfn
After perusing the membership lists for this site (all 96 pages) and admiring the avatars of those members (2857 in all) using an avatar.................I gotta say that while some deserve honourable mention (Random Hero's backlit countenance is notable) my choice ends up being a surprise even to me! Admin has what I think is a relevant and attractive avatar for a site boasting so many inquiring minds. I give admin's avatar 3.5 stars.

The tiger is perhaps the sweetest animal, but is one of the most deadly as well. Maybe that dychotomie is part of what makes them so interesting.

Hey, just noticed Mono has an avatar :D... what's on the pic? lol
Yes, yes, I finally joined the 'avatar' club. I have not seen Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange enough times to determine if the picture comes from there, but I see it as a star's nova or supernova several light-years away, but I could have made a mistake.
Thanks for the compliment, anyway; I like it too.

I feel the same about many of the surrealists, especially Escher, Dali, Magritte, and some by Marcel DuChamp (though some may not consider him a surrealist).
I heard a word I like... surrealist :), looky at some of these pics:

Wow, that art looks amazing, Jay. Thanks for the link; it reminds me of another infamous artist named Gil Bruvel.

I am not familiar with this artist, but I have a question. As quoted above, Do you mean 'infamous' ( known for an evil deed,a bad reputation, notorious, etc. ??) or relatively unknown. I'm confused by your use of that word.
Anyway, I checked out the link, cool images, kind of reminds one of Salvadore Dali........
And if he is 'infamous', why?

Thank you :) I just went to Alta Vista (search engine) and there's an images section that looks up specifically what you type in. Just type up Simpsons and choose the size you want (for example, if you choose small, it would look for pictures that are between 30 - 300 pixels)
Ah cool! thanks!

I always think of Escher as a mathematicians artist. I like Magritte - I wanted to put the picture that's just clouds (what a pleb, can't remember what it's called!) up in our front room. But I was vetoed by w'oor lass!

This is my beautiful dog Mr.Spock, I would have my two rats to but the dog hated them and I never got them close enough to take a picture before the rats died, maybe I'll put up a pic of the two of them one day.

Very cute, Helga, perhaps the best picture you have shown. :)

I could not agree more, Bandini; M.C. Escher used MUCH mathematical concepts in his work, especially the mirror-like ones, while Rene Magritte and Salvador Dali used quite a bit more abstract and random concepts, less organized and predictable, but still amazing, nevertheless.
When talking about the Magritte work of clouds, well, he had a few. Did you mean this one?

Don't know the 'just clouds' art work, but would love to see it in order to equate your perception (mathematician) of the work with the work it self. Maybe you could post it here...please? Would also like to see it.....just because.......

*The Avatars of Basil Past moodily wonder why they were deemed unworthy of such distinction*
The Avatar of Basil Now is a piece of artwork by musician/artist Daniel Johnston. It is known as the "Hi, How Are You" frog. It appeared on an album of the same name.
http://www.rejectedunknown.com/images/album_covers/Hi%20How%20Are%20You.gif
He also painted a mural of it in downtown Austin, Texas. It just recently escaped destruction.
http://www.rejectedunknown.com/members/fanpics/danjohn-wall%20copy_small.jpg
If you like, you can order t-shirts with the frog on it here (http://www.rejectedunknown.com/art/public.htm).
Here's a picture of the shirt as seen on an unknown model:
http://www.rejectedunknown.com/members/fanpics/uuu.jpghttp://www.hihowareyou.com/tribute/images/web/image012.jpghttp://www.rejectedunknown.com/members/fanpics/lll.jpg
Daniel Johnston's music probably doesn't appeal to everyone's taste, but I think he's pretty amazing. You can find out more about him here (http://www.hihowareyou.com/).
BTW: Thanks, Scher :p

I just saw that night changed her avatar and I liked it a lot. it's a kind of a painting or what night? I really like it. and I also saw that Themis changed the avatar too and it's really beautiful.

Let's see-can't pick one favorite, so here are some I like: (please note-ratings are not comparative)
Pensive- 11/10 I love you avatar
Adelheid- 10/10 So cute
Smilingtearz- 8/10 Bright, colorful, and imaginative!
Robin-8/10 so glad you changed your avatar back!
Virgil- 8/10 I don't know quite why I like your avatar, but I do!
Night- 8/10 So smiling and happy!
Pendragon-0/10 you should change it to an evil looking penguin, like the one you've been posting lately :brow:
Digital Crash-7/10 I like the lenux penguin, even though recent studies may conclude it is evil.
Samercury-8/10 I like your new avatar!
Jay-8/10 It is an interesting picture
Themis- 9/10 I really like your snow fairy
Adil- 7/10 You live up to your picture very well
Emily-8/10 Your penguin is so cute and funny, even though it might be evil too
Stan-5/10 for some reason I don't particularly like your avatar, I liked stanislaw lem better
RJbibliophil-10/10 I think piglet is very cute
Here are some more I missed:
Koa-9/10 romantic
Sleepywitch-7/10 very witchy
Mililalil-7/10 very heroic avatar
Taliesin-7/10 kind of fantasy or magic or superstition or something like that
Xamonas-6/10 kind of fuzzy I always thought it was a tree
Kilted-8/10 this is on your old one because I haven't decided what I think of the new yet...
Crisaor- 9/10 I like big and little cats and your's looks kind of sad
Riesa-8/10 original, did you draw it yourself?
Beergood-8/10 your octupus is so cute and yet dangerous looking
Petrach's love- 7/10 very classic
Weeping Willow-7/10 your avy scares me
Noah- 8/10 very pretty design
Papayahed-9/10 original and I like grover a lot
Virgil
04-19-2006, 02:06 PM

I rate Pensive's avatar 5/5 :)
And mine? I don't know, but I designed it yesterday.. What do you think?
Pendragon
04-19-2006, 06:34 PM
Sorry I changed it, then, Morad! An atvar is an extention of a person's personiality, I've felt a tad morose lately. Everyone gets a 10/10 from me. To say less, for me anyway, would be to say that my friends had poor taste. They do not. They choose what means something to them, something of which maybe only they real know the true meaning. I am complex, I live through my characters. On the forum here, I am Pendragon of Camelot, so I should stick with that. 17 or more others to choose from, but here, I am Pen, the Mad Poet, Knight Errant and defender of those who may need defending.
(I couldn't use the Penguin, he was only temporary!)
My very favorite Atvar is Themis' Flute Playing Blue Fairy. :nod:

Robinhood-- he saved me.. i give him as many marks as he wants!
Irish-- reminds me of my history class for some reason.. used to be my fav. class in school!
Kaltrina-- I liked her old avtar. the one with her photo.. and the first one with serendipity as the title..

Pensive-- Lil' blue birdy flying in the air..when i first saw her avvy i thought she was much older than what she actually is

Weeping Willow.. Oh I just love your avtar.. its strong and manly and attractive
woeful painter.. heroic and thoughtful!
Koa.. Artistically romantic..

Stanislaw-- the present avtar's okay.. the old one was awesome.. the picture that you've got on your homepage..
Mililalil.. again heroic!
and Morad!.. you obviously designed that yourself.. it looks fabulous..

adelhied... soft and cute and babylike
aimusage.. intruiging..
admin.. da vinci.. art!
beer good.. the mysterious octopus
boris.. smart sportsman!.. he always wanted to be a football player..

chava, somehow i still remember the "blue" avtar
emily.. how could i forget that cute penguin!
Logos-- that's her!.. and she looks sweet and well-read and intelligent
petrarch's love... classic!
helga... the turning pages of her diary.. love that avtar
ryduce.. everytime i look at that picture i tell myself, this how you've wasted tim eva.. see how you've left it strewn all over the place.. so many times in these 20 yrs..
Unnamable-- the proffessor
wonder which others i've left..

Yes Rachel, you really should have an avatar. We can have a competition - find a fitting avatar for Rachel. Yes, indeed, we should.
Rachel, you make me blush. Remember that I am a shy and reserved swedish person, and praise make me curl up into a very emberrassed but content ball. No mystical travels, but you are welcome to follow me to my cottage. The breathing you hear is just me muttering curse words behind clenched teeth because the deers ate my tulips, like they do every year.

yes I love your avy. You are Swedish, how enchanting, some of the people I was m ost in love with , was smitten with in life are Swedish. I don't know why. Where you live sounds very faerie and yes please, if you like I will bring all sorts of goodies and come with baby Hasia and visit. And M'Lord and Chmpman you must come too, it would be so wonderful.
actually I am putting my avy on , but not for a couple of weeks as I have to decide on one of three.I am no madonna, I am not good like that. no matter how I try, but thank you very much.
