Two Faces Have I … at least!

 

According to Wikipedia: In computing, an avatar is the graphical representation of the user or the user's alter ego or character. It may take either a three-dimensional form[1], as in games or virtual worlds, or a two-dimensional form as an icon in Internet forums and other online communities.

I have an avatar – she is my online persona and representation – a fairly gentle caricature, which I use as a logo for my art sales, she appears on my cards and is as close as I think I’ll ever get to “corporate identity”

One of the best parts of my little friend is that she is customisable – and often dresses up for important (or downright silly) occasions.

Here are a few of my favourites from last year (or thereabouts)

Which one is your fave – and do you have any suggestions for future iterations??
