After 4 years, I finally decided to change my avatar. I created a sketchy style drawing of my truck and put color swatches from '72 behind it. What do you all think?

It weirded me out when I saw it. No offense intended.. I like it, just wasn't ready to see it.

Re: new avatar
Thanks. Yes, I drew both of them. I actually majored in design, then went to art school and now I'm one of the owners of a design studio.
Here's a larger version of the new one and illustrations from my original. The last one used to be an illustration of my green truck and then morphed into both the green truck and the orange truck. When I sold the green truck, I dropped it from my avatar.

Re: new avatar
Bouncy, I wanted to show you this but didnt want to highjack your thread. But since you mentioned you work at a design studio, what do you think of my new "retro" store logo? This is a T-shirt we have in conjuction w/a local radio station.
