A lot of you have some interesting Avatar Image but with these old eye’s I have a hard time seeing them. Lets show them and give a little info about them. What makes them special.

I wish we could slightly larger avatars. My eyes are old too and I also have a hard time seeing some of them. Here's mine in a larger view. It fits my user name.

I love that, Jerry - but even more i love that it was drawn by your grand daughter - bless her heart (and talent too).

Mine is me drawing the first Osage bow i made that later got damaged in a fritnds car, I repaired it but a year later it hinged at the repair - I sure miss it. Don't know if I can find the big one.
..................................

I think I found the right one, if not, it's a close one - LOL:

You already know what I think of your grand daughters drawing but just for the record.. How stinking cool is that? Way!!

I thought about posting a larger image of mine but they have these really cool works of art in the auction of Tarzan and I'd hate to give the youngun any competition...lol  NOT!


God bless,Mudd

PS: I could look around to see if I have one of me in my loin cloth and send it to you Jerry...lol

I know this one has thrown a few of you for a loop...this is a sculpture I made...it is actually a self-portrait...
there is much which the photo doesn't show...but basically it relates to my daily struggles and thoughts...the mouth is polyeurethane molded from an African Lion's skull...it represents a fierceness usually kept to myself...the tongue is a belt, representing my own tongue's ability to lash at times (probably subconsciously related also to the fact that I was disciplined with belts as a youngster)...
the inner child stares at a carpenter's level inside the "soul" area (level of course represents "right"-ness, and (what is not visible here)is a blackbird foot splinted with a popsicle-stick splint behind the child's head...this comes from the first animal I ever killed--->I was around four, and I threw a rock at the bird...instead of killing it I merely broke it's leg...suddenly I went from killer to saver, trying to help the bird...my dad helped me put a splint on the leg with popsicle sticks and kite string...it didn't work...my dad had to wring it's neck...maybe too much information for some, but it is what it is...

Actually, my avatar is part of a pic that was me & my brothers. Some say there is a family resemblance.

L82HUNT, That may be one of the greatest dogs but I have had and still have a few of the greatest dogs myself.  Don, I had always wondered about yours.  Mine is a good Mulie from a few years back.

What would be really cool is to have the avatars be clickable thumbnails that lead to expanded images.

Oh well.

leatherneck thanks for your service!

Mine is one of my favorite pictures I have taken.  The bare picture was cool, but I think I made it cooler, lol.  I was trying to send a message, kinda a old school bowhunter with a modern flair!!

Some great memories with this one!  
My first custom bow. First deer I had ever shot at with a traditional bow. Killed on the first day of bow season. My best buck with a bow..  Also my favorite quote.
