Love Celtic too. The knots are so incredible! When you find that site let me know. I went hunting on day online for sites and images. I like the music, as well. I have been recording some nice albums for Christmas. The Celtic are my favorite. I like your avy so much Kathy.
Idril - yours is beautiful too. Love anything southwestern. When you look into your profile page what is the painting on the right? I am an artist and it greatly interests me.
My avatar is actually an emblem created by J.R.R. Tolkien for the character of Idril but I agree it looks, well, I wouldn't have said southwestern but definitely Native American, to me it looks like more of a Plains tribe kind of thing but that's probably because those are the tribes I'm most familar with.Quote:

Yeah, that painting is marvelous! A beautiful scene for the eyes!
Signature change: I am currently reading Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment and it was the first dialogue of the story and it blew me away. It is true. Very true.
Avatar change: Something not black, for a change, and it makes for a scintillatingly enchanting sight! At least for me...:D
More poetry in the signature, and a new picture. Conan actually stepping on the head of a rising Dragon. I just liked it, that's all.
Yeah, very cool. Imagination-of-a-cannibal-inducing image, Uncle Pen, but not in a completely gruesome way. :thumbs_up:
I've added a picture to my signature.
I saw it this morning, and it immediately reminded me of my Grandma's garden in winter :) She used to have that kind of swing, too, when I was a kid, but she won't let me use it anymore, she says I'm too big :bawling: :D. I called her directly after going off-line again :D.Quote:

The current sig is a line from the anchor song. Which is a hymn I was always forced to sing when I was in the Boys Brigade (Think disciplined scouts - drill etc) I am of course using it without the Christian denotation (that time is behind me) Everyone has an anchor, its just different strokes for different folks.
fooling around with my avvy and signature again.
how do you like this pic of Sesshomaru?
I noticed the change back to the Inuyasha theme! :lol: Very nice Sleepy.Quote:

Just for a change, I changed my avy (for now) to Winnipeg's mascot, that is our Golden Boy with a thresh of wheat in his left and a torch to lead the way in his right.
I picked up a new siggy pic somewhere in the depths of the internet. I was thinking to change my avatar into this one, but then thought it was more appropriate with my new siggy quote.
Well, for December, a new avatar.
Great new avatars Witch and Taliesin! :D
Taliesin,
It looks like Charlie The Chaplain if I am not mistaken?
TEND I had the pleasure of visiitng Winnepeg several times in the 80s while stationed at Grand Forks AFB ND. Used to shop at Doug Silupa's Comicworld where I first acquired some 2000AD with Judge Dredd. Compared to Rochester NY (hometown) your city always looks lovely and well cared for. Except your city bus drivers have no mercy in lane changes.
Thanks to logos I now have a proper avatar that I am quite satisfied with and hope adds to the scenery.
I'm not major fan (yet) but I watched the first movie in Japanese (with subtitles) and have watched a handful of episodes. I like Sesshomaru's voice and looks:blush:, but I think he's evil isn't he`???Quote:

Hey, now that's up in my neck of the woods. I don't live in Grand Forks, I live in Bismarck, ND but I spent entirely too much time in Grand Forks when I was in college...in Moorhead, MN...which might be why I didn't do so well that first year. :blush: :rolleyes:Quote:

I've added a photo of a ancient Roman bust of what is supposed to be Scipio Afracanus, a roman general into my profile. I only put it in becuse it has a striking resemblence to me when I was younger. Certain facial features seem the same.
I added Salvador Dali's painting in my sig (the only painter that I love :)). Its title is Galatea of the Spheres. Here's a closer look from Dali's online gallery.
That is an incredible painting, sub. Virgil, I couldn't tell the difference between this bust and the previous picture you had in your profile. :D Powerful likeness.
What do you all think of my Picasso avatar? It may be the only painting that I've ever liked by Picasso: "Toros y Toreros". I began worrying that it may suggest an affinity for cruelty to animals. :blush:
I didn't have a picture in my profile.:pQuote:

:wave: Hi, everybody! Jean-B, I like that painting, too and I don't like Picasso that much...only his early work. That is rather interesting, but a shame it can't be larger. I saw a film version of "Carmen" the other night with a bull-fight to start off the film. It really was sickening, but it is part of the culture, I know. Sad for the poor beast.
Well, Virgil, not sure you look like that statue, but then only going by the pictures of the doggie kissing you and other one with your tilted head. Maybe you are this guy reincarnated!:D
Ok - as for me - I recently, and finally added my avatar - it is a painting by Salvador Dali called "Pieta". I love this painting; I saw it in Philadelphia last year at the big Dali show. Truly amazing stuff. This painting was large; very impressive....not as good in postage size for my avy...oh well...
I also added a favorite painting by Howard Pyle in my Profile page of a mermaid/lover - forget the name of it. I love the composition and the moon placed just so. Pyle taught the Wyeths and was a great illustrator of adventure stories.
The drawing I put in my signature, unfortuately is way too small. It is a piece of my own artwork - a Christmas card I designed a couple of years back and had printed (worked for a printer) and is done in fine point ink. Sorry it is not seen better. Does anyone know if it can be larger? I have tried everything :crash: to make it larger. Postage size just does not make it with this picture, either.:(
From what I can see Janine that is a beautiful drawing!! Even more so since I am an unbelievably huge Tchaikovsky fan!
I guess I was confused, Virgil. I meant the picture of you and your dog; I'm sure I've seen it floating around here somewhere.Quote:

Yup.Quote:

It was a really funny character, always eating bananas, made me want to see the movies played by the actual Charlie. :)Quote:

Tend, thanks for the compliment - just wish I could make the photo bigger - twice the size would be good. I love Tchaikovsky, too and many other composers. I especially like ballet scores. I draw ballet dancers, often..they are very expressive, fragile, graceful and passionate. After Christmas I will try to start a blog and post some of my own work - need better scans or photos first. Hoping this site inspires me to pick up the ink and pencils again.Quote:

Hey, seems everyone is changing them lately. I will change mine in a few months, too.
Hi, Jean. I'm so not good in paintings and they only painter (and his works) that I'm willing to spend time to find out further is Dali. I tried to look the larger version of your avy in Picasso's official website but I couldn't find it.Quote:

I've been rather unsuccessful in finding a larger image as well, sub. But here's a link that I think Janine had in mind. Carnet Toros y Toreros
While I was looking though, I found this other funny fun thing. Mr. Picassohead
Changed mine....I just thought this fitts in well with a stand Im taking in a thread in the religion forum:D
