Yes, it is a self-portrait.

Since I responded to your e-mail first I won't repost here but if anyone 
else is interested in the font it is the 'Univers' font of figlet which is 
in pub/figlet/fonts/contributed  from the site ftp.isu.edu.

For other font enthusiasts, I have started working (very slowly) on a new 
script font with my regular style of art.  The problem with a large script 
is that you need two sets of lowercase letters.  One set to connect with 
letters that finish at the bottom and another set to connect with letters 
that finish at the top (b, o, v and w).  Here is what I have done so far:

It's not much, considering what's left to be done, but it's a start.  Any 
suggestions would be appreciated.  Also, if you are interested in seeing 
this font completed let me know.
