A self portrait (Mike Rosulek)
.------. An honest effort at trying to make
/ ____ \ a self portrait cartoon. I think I
/ __|__|__ \ messed up the pony tail and backwards
_||/ \/ \||_ hat. But I'm still getting the hang
/ )/ 00 \( \ of it...

I set out to make a self-portrait. The resulting
monstrosity looks NOTHING like I do. I have
given up on it, and I'm uploading it to this news
group. Have fun with it. I never want to see it
again. :-)
