Panda + flower pot = potted panda
No particular reason. I like it. It's cute and silly. It's a PANDA!
OH YEAH- and I've used it for over 8 years as the symbol of my online personality, right after I stopped using the Sinistar. The potted panda is from a very obscure and largely unknown video game called Puzzle Link, which was crushed into oblivion during "the Pokemon years," during which time nobody I knew played anything but Pokemon. Except me. I played Puzzle Link.</p>

Mine is a drawing done by arfink. I asked him to draw what he thought a "BigJon" would look like, and this is what came out. I figured it would be an appropriate avatar, even though I don't look like that...


Thanks arfman! Its pretty razzle dazzle.

I just like the artistry and simplicity. I don't like that my Lord's bottom half is truncated.

No problem. I need to do a couple more, been keeping people waiting.

I actually asked arfink to do one for me, too, but it hasn't happened yet. :) Meanwhile, the dragon goes with my name. Chrysophylax is the name of a dragon from a short story by J.R.R. Tolkien. And the dragon thinking about cookies expresses my general thoughts during the day.

Was Bernini's statue of St Teresa in ecstasy. Now St Scholastica looking pretty much the same :P If Bernini had done one of Scholastica, I would have used that - I love his work.

I loved your avatar of St Teresa in Ecstasy because it reminded me of Rome. I literally stumbled upon that statue and was just blown away by it. I had studied Bernini's work and came face to face with on of my favorites when I was just wondering around Rome.

Pope John Paul II kissing Cardinal Ignatius Kung, who spent 30 years in prison & 2 years in house arrest in China for refusing to renounce the Catholic church and endorse the state-run church. Knowing of his and other priests' impending arrests, he taught hundreds Catechists to teach the faith to future generations. The Pope made him cardinal 'in pectore' while in prison.

My avatar is a portrait of Elizabeth Throckmorton when she was an English Augustinian nun in Paris. It was painted by Nicolas de Largillière & was completed in 1729. I like the way she is sitting so serenely with a book in her hand to emphasize reading & studying.



[size=2](I also choose it because I thought she looked like a Dominican nun!)[/size]
