A contest.
I've been thinking about updating my picture profile. I'm not too keen on using my real picture because there are people in my past I would rather forget.
So I figure after meeting so many talented bloggers, that one of you might be able to help me out.
So here goes, I'm asking you guys to sketch something or photoshop a representation of what you think I look like. It doesn't have to be fancy or even original.
The one I think matches me the closest will be proudly displayed as my profile with a prominent link to the artist and their blog. The only stipulation is that it stay relatively PG and under.
I will declare the winner on Wednesday Dec 6, 2006
When I finish recieving the submissions I'll make a post displaying all the entries
Send your submissions to bohab@hotmail.com or post a link to the picture as a reply to this blog entry.
This post will stay on top for a while so be sure to scroll down for new stuff

"I'm not too keen on using my real picture because there are people in my past I would rather forget.
I'm keen on reminding them that I'm still here. Nothing like a thorn in the side.. :-)
hmm....interesting challenge. I'm thinkin' a caricature of you smackin' your thumb with a hammer. :D I'll try and find something like that.
That pic you use looks an awful lot like an ice ax... I have been biting my tongue (because it is too big for my mouth) unless of course, that's an archeological rock hammer, but it doesn't quite look like one. Perhaps it is indeed time for a new pic. I found one that represents me to a Tee...
Hmmm... I'm thinking I could come up with something, but it's not likely to look anything like you physically. I just realized I don't have any imaginary physical image of you in my mind. I guess it's never been necessary for me to be able to relate to your posts. When I do try to imagine what you look like, I end up seeing a pair of blue jeans from just below the knees down... as if you're taking a picture of something and managed to get your own legs in the shot. I suppose I could create some sort of symbolism to go with that, but it's more likely that my imagination is malfunctioning.
I did mine here:

Everyone who knows me says it looks exactly like me, down to the clothing. The only thing you can't see is that my head is completely bald.
Kirsten: got them thanks
Cheesy: got yours.
BBC: If someone happens to read something on my blog that hits too close to home I'd like to keep em guessing ;)
barista grazioso: Can't wait :)
Scott from Oregon: My current one is some kind of medieval war hammer. I thought it looked cool but it's kind of unwieldy for a blog pic.
Phoenix: You never know, even if you think it's incorrect I wouldn't mind seeing what people imagine.
Bobg,
I always wondered where you got yours. That is a cool program!
I've got it! You naked with a tool belt on. Perfect! Can you imagine how many hits you'd get on your site then? **snickers**
Sheebs...and I just got back from church too......for shame bg
Naked with a tool belt?
Damn I need to start working out ;)
One in the email and one other variation of the same image over on Vaginous...Close?
Hmmm this is interesting. I'll think on it abit. I may participate in this...:)
Okay Hammer, I'll see what I can come up with. This will be fun. :::evil laughter:::
is the competition still going?
Judith: Yes I'll take entries until midnight Dec 6 and then pick the one that best represents me.
Here is my submission to the contest.
I think we have a winner!

This is so not fair! Hammer, you know that my best drawings, even with a computer, are disjointed stick figures!
