well usually i dont have an avatar, but there was this avatar competision in which i got a tiger, then a 2nd tiger, but the first tiger was better then the 2nd so i switched back, but then the 2nd was better then the first, so i took the image i have now instead, which is not to bad imo. edit: you forgot to answer you own question
My avatar is a self portrait done in paintshop with a mouse, it depicts me smoking a spliff and dreaming up ideas.
my avatar is a complex masterpiece by the underrated and underfamed swedish pastel weilding master; pierre de la shibullt.
