Explain Your Avatar

There are a lot of interesting images under peoples names on this page. Many of them seen straight forward , a favorite album or artist, some are more obscure . For me it's an image from the inside of a Yes album I remember from my youth. Long before I knew anything about prog rock I use to flip through my brothers album collections and look at the artwork. The image I use is something I stumbled upon on the internet , something I hadn't seen in many years but I stuck in my head so I used it.

Mine was a doodle that I did in college while I was smokin' weed and chillin' to some prog.  I kept drawing, erasing, re-drawing, and re-connecting these interwoven pathways with the intent of having a single, Moebius-like structure.  But having finished it, I realized it was actually two pathways knotted together.  I later entitled it "Knot Right".  The play on words seemed fitting.  The colored background was added when I started using it as an avatar, because B/W didn't stand out enough.

this should be in general non-music related section of PA ithink

my Avatar is showing iconic Disney ccharacters, i in general love Donald Duck..also honoring Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Walts first antropomorphic animated character

I live in a lake.

Mine is a cropped image of the Gentle Giant album cover In a Glass House. 

BaldJean wrote: Friede and I use the same avatar, the cover of the first album of our band Bald Angels, "The Goat and the Donkey". it was produced in a limited edition of 500 copies only which we sold at our restaurant. the cover shows the two of us depicted by a befriended artist with Friede on the left and me on the right. the cover of our second album "It's a Dog's Life", also in a limited edition of 500 copies, is extremely daring, so we chose not to use that one

Good to know, thought you were Bene Gesserit witches. *phew*

here is a slightly bigger image of our album cover:



if anyone is curious about the cover of our 2nd album I'll be glad to show it in a PM

My Avatar is 'the long man of Wilmington', possibly/ probably a Neolithic (though this is still disputed)chalk-hill figure cut into the Windover hillside near Willmington in East Sussex. There are numerous other ancient Chalk hill figures including the White Horse of Uffington in Oxfordshire (Depicted on the front cover of XTC's fantastic 'English settlement' lp) and my actual first choice for an avatar, The Cerne Abbas giant in Dorset (more my neck of the woods) but I think that it would be censored due to its.. er.. 'rampant' depiction of an erect phallus.. I might give it a go and see what happens...

Mine is an album cover featuring Catcher10's said drummer and aforementioned Alex.
