Yes, but my hair does tend to have a wide color range. Sometimes more blonde, or my natural brunette and anything in between. But I haven't had success with changing my face...so it is what it is!

Apparently, I looked like somebody famous in my previous avie, and people where treating me like a celebrity. I played along for the day, and then changed the pic.

I really don't know. I was chatting in a thread and someone asked me if I was "that women" in a recent movie. Jokingly, I responded yes, and the next thing I know people were asking me what I was up to, and what I thought about their art work.

If someone got within about 6 inches (about 15 centimeters, and someone correct me if I'm wrong) of my right eye, that's what they'd see.

You'll get a better look at what I really look like, at this webcam: www.brianhgill.com/webmaster/webcam/ (unabashed self-promotion there!)

It's updated every 5 minutes, for more than 12 hours a day, at one of my workstations. The odds are pretty good that you'll find me there.

  I take it that Oksana Skorik is a dancer of some prominence? Sorry, dance is an art form that I never really understood, apart from a limited intellectual appreciation. (Please note! Understanding is not the same as respect. There are quite a few things that I respect without any great understanding - and dance as an art form is one of them.)

  Oksana is sort of well known through a documentary about her experience at the Perm State Choreographic Institute that was just released. Not many people know of her, but she's impeccably technical and just all around amazing.

  Right so just as a guessed this isn't you: it's from days gone by. I don't get why a self-proclaimed patriot would choose an avatar that is pointing its butt end at the flag of his/her country but to each their own.

  Gawd do you ever let up? Her butt is not pointing at the flag the girl is positioned alongside the flag. It is a retro pin up.

  On a side note her hair does not look so red in a larger image.

  Are you talking about a couple of years out of date or do you mean decades out of date?

Yes, that's ME! No photoshop or stock photos or fake pixels, here! Too many people fear the internet, because they have been duped. I don't want to do that to anyone!

It looks like me just when I'm feeling blue

This is from a drawing I made some time ago.
But sometimes I put in my drawings a lot more from myself than what I want to show.

  How lovely. You are quite the artist and your hand crafted pieces are stunning. I wish I had half the patience and talent you have.

Yep, I look just like this. My students prefer getting their history from a big old red dog. I just have to be careful about slobbering on my keyboard, since it wasn't designed for dogs.

My avatar looks like me in the sense that it represents the many trials and tribunals in my life that were like being engulfed in fire; After emerging from the fire of the tribulations I feel reborn with wisdom, strength and the ability to take on anything that comes my way.
