Nick Mamatas refuses to use this icon, apparently, so here, enjoy it:

A friend said that he thought a photo of a friend of his would look good (paraphrasing greatly) as an Avatar character.  I gave it a go.  Sometime in 2010.

From 2005 or perhaps earlier... I am a political independent, tending to vote down the middle party-wise, but Senator Inhofe aggravates me to no end; I thought he was on the money when he complained about the dangers of military adventurism during the Clinton administration, but suddenly it was awesome during the Bush administration.  I'm sure it's bad again, now.  Anyway, never mind all that, point being, he has long been ridiculous and dare I say it unAmerican in his views on torture, and I thought I'd make something for calling him and those with him out.  And didn't do much to get it passed around.  Oh well.  Here it is.

For the life of me, I can't remember why I did this one, but I think it's hilarious.  Just me?  Fine.  Anyhow, it's from June, 2008.

So this was actually my only paid commission ever, sort of.  That is, I think I was sent a book off of my Amazon list in recompense, and hey, awesome, right?  Anyway, what I'm trying to get across is this was not my idea.  I think the requester uses it as an icon or something for his special fan fiction that he writes or something?  Well, anyway, it was a challenge and I admit the result makes me laugh.  Looks like I did it on October, 2005.
