Will you make me/find me a really cool avatar/profile image?

Ok. I'm getting tired of looking at my own picture. I want a really cool avatar to go on all of my profile pages that says something about me. I am a big fan of the '80s, retro junk, and like rainbows. I am a tech geek at heart, but I also like crafts and DIY projects, as well as recipes and cooking. I don't think you can incorporate all of these aspects into one image, but is there anyone out there that can come up with a really cool avatar for me?

I like to change up my avatar and look around for new ones too. Here are a few I like and if you wan to make your own you can use the Jing program to take snapshots of *any photo or picture* at any size you need so you can grab an avatar sized portion of anything you like or want. ~~>http://www.jingproject.com/ Jing is great for general use screen shots too. It's free, easy and available for both MAC and Windows.



My tastes can range for the completely weird and non sequitur to the funny or serious. So bear with me as you look at these.





I like to use pictures of celebrities as well. I was once Isaac from the Love Boat. Here is a great Grace Jones avatar.



This avatar just screams 1984



Remember Devo?



I really could go on forever. I do recommend the Jing Project as a useful tool for all around Mahalo Answers.



Hope you find what you like!

Yes, I could, but see I'm lazy, and once I get distracted from my work, I could get tied up in creating an avatar for hours. Thanks for the links to cool tools, but I am really looking for someone to suggest some for me.

I made some cool avatars for you using the GIMP. The first is a swirly rainbow which didn't take too long to make, but I think it looks pretty cool. For the second, I took your current avatar and added some typography and some rainbow effects.

I like the second one also, but I think it will not show how it looks when you use a small Avatar image!

I made you an avatar at WeeWorld.com! The avatar incorporates your looks with some retro and 80's in it. For example, the avatar shows you holding a sign that say "Stop Global Warming", a big issue in the 80's.

The avatar can easily be modified to your liking. If you want to edit it yourself, feel free to Direct Message me. I will then give you the information needed to edit the avatar.

Good luck in your avatar seach!

I was once also tired of using the same old, same old. One thing that does not have anything to do with anything, is using a nice image of your "birth sign" (Zodiac). That will represent you well and it is something that has to do with you. I would give some examples, if I knew what your Zodiac sign is:)

Here... they're quick on-offs, so I know they're rough, but if you have an idea for a different background and/or a different portrait pic then just send them as attachments.

I have *tonnes* of other psychedelic images like you see in the background that I've built up over the years, so if you don't like those backgrounds, there's others.
