Explain Your Profile Picture

Perhaps just an unjustified stigma then.

 

They are very mischievous, though.

 

My profile pic was a promotional website image from 'Tamala 2010: A Punk Cat in Space', which is a non-anime Japanese animated film based on 'The Crying of Lot 49'.
The film and the book reference the urban legend about secret symbols being hidden in banknotes and stamps - so presumably this image is a reworking of a Japanese postage stamp design - altered to feature a grinning Hermetic cat-deity.

The consistently-bizarre dialogue builds up an irreverent, punk, and oddly Eurocentric, history-of-the-occult - based on Robert Graves' 'The White Goddess'.
We're supposed to realize "This isn't really about a kitsch, sci-fi, cat planet is it?" and then feel a certain existential dread: "They couldn't have... not on our planet... could they?"

 

If it is about cats taking over the world a la Planet of the Apes, it's too late: they've already started with my house.

 

I decided that since I am an old fossil my avatar ought to represent that. Only difference is, I'm not extinct. Yet.

 

I have a new profile picture. A star with an eye in it, made by an excellent artist on Fiverr. The symbol is from a universe I'm making, from a civilisation within that universe. The star represent life and all the stars that hold life within the civilisation. The eye represents the future who will look upon your actions and judge them.

 

That's me on stage in 1997.

 

Occurs to me my avatar has changed to my favorite Yule painting. The artist's name escapes me right now. I'll be changing it before too long.

 

I chose a picture titled "a paladin in hell", because it seemed a fitting commentary on life.

 

Proof that people were dressing up (and pissing off) their cats nearly 100 years ago.

 

The difference between cats and dogs.
Dogs say you feed me you love me, you must be God.
Cats say you feed me you love me, I must be God.

 

Today I changed my profile pic to Marie Curie just because she is someone who I admire.

 

Louanne spurred me to change my own avatar. The image is Spring created by Meinrad Craighead, an artist I admire very much and whose death I still mourn in my heart. She was a remarkable person and I'm grateful for the brief crossing of our lives.

 

An ink drawing by Picasso of Don Quixote because I have tilted at a few windmills in my life.

 

I know it's hard to make out when it's small, but meh. It's a crop of a B&W picture I took using my 1940's Rolleiflex T camera, which has since been stolen. With the 120mm film, the original is sharp enough to blow up to mural size without losing much detail. Damn, I miss that camera, but not as much as I miss that dog. She was the best I ever had. (Don't tell my current dog I said that.)

 

I know how that is. Curly, a Pit Lab mix would be twenty five now.

 

Got a hankering to change my photo today and once I saw this tremendous shot of an owl in flight I knew it was the one. Love the colours.

I dyed my hair copper/auburn.

I wasnt digging the blonde...

 

Changed my profile picture to an illustration I made today of one of my cat characters, Ivyhawk

 

The eye of eternity.

 

I thought it was one of the Pokemon Unknowns

 

oh my gosh so did I
