New Banner by Goatboy...

...and I couldn't be more excited!  For those of you who don't know, Goatboy is a ninja-gansta-artist... dude... type... person... guy...

He is all those things and more and right now he's working dirt cheap.  I paid 25 bucks for the banner.  You heard right, just 25 bucks.  I saw the art he'd done for the Green Blowfly and knew I'd I had to have something similar.  I shot off my money on Friday night and here it is, Wednesday, and it's up!



Keep in mind, I actually had him make changes.  Twice.  Which he did with a smile and a, "No problem!" when he could have said, "Dude, you only paid me 25 bucks - what do you expect?"

That was in regards to the scripting of the title, Strictly Average, 'cause the actual picture was spot on the first time out.  I told him my icon is the 'Empty Digital Headache' - basically the digital head, a concept that strikes me as amusing, as in, "I live in your computer and am but lines along your screen... do you really think I have a damn word to say that will actually affect your life?"

Funny stuff, all wrapped up in pain and a self-esteem like a yo-yo (not to be confused with, "Yo, yo!  You've been served, *self-edit: Female Dog, plural*, you've been served!"

Pain and a strange sense of humor: that's me.

Moving on, my icon has always been in blue, but I thought green and symbolism similar to the Matrix would get the point across better.

Did he nail it or what?
