Reputation: (19) | You think about the books, movies, and stories that have profoundly impacted your understanding of life. Then you labor for hours looking for the perfect image that captures the very essence of that transformative experience. You find avatars in your heart Greg, in your heart. |

Wise words..  As for the Avatars are concerned, you can just crop your favorite images to 80 x 80 size and use it. Or a quick google search will give you list of links to find avatars. Some of them are quite good too.

Reputation: (10) | Learn a little bit of Photoshop or the GIMP (a free photoshop alternative) so that you can make your own custom avatar. It doesn't take much to learn the basics. Look on tutorial sites; there are plenty of PS and GIMP tutorials about making avatars. Then you will be able to make an awesome, personalized avatar. |

Reputation: (10) | Here are a few avatar tutorials from my favorite Photoshop tutorial website. PSlover.com | Search for photoshop tutorials Although my photoshop knowledge is limited, feel free to ask me any questions on getting started with editing. And I don't have experience with the GIMP, but I've heard it is similar to photoshop. |

Reputation: (33) | How often does everyone change theirs? I post on a few boards, and like to change mine about every month or so to something that I enjoy, relate to, etc. |
