What is my avatar?

[Gord.T]

Well I've had my new avatar up for a few weeks and no one has commented
to me on it. I have to admit it looks ugly in a 96 square pixel thumbnail
but thought someone would have pick up on it by now. So...does anyone know what this is?
Here's a hint. It is displayed in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.

Reminds me of the pinhead character from HellRaiser, lol.

 

[Gord.T]

Yea, looks gross, but wait till you see the actual image. Thought it would be fun to let people guess.
Another major hint: It's flipped horizontally.

 

[Mark Harris]

Giuseppe Arcimboldo. Water. It's all fish. Reminds me of something Bruegel or Bosch would paint.

I don't remember what artist did them, but he created a lot of portraits using objects like fruit for example. Your's could be one of his.

EDIT: Nevermind, Mark figured out the name

Norm, what is it with you and Hell Raiser?

 

[Gord.T]

Marks got it. There's 3 (4 sorry) in the series. His other reversable images are cool too. Here's a link.
Beware, the pop-ups are crazy.

Incidentally, it first came to my attention as the cover the the 1975 Kansas 'Masque' album.

Hmmm. I have a PC, and not a single pop-up. Something must be wrong.

Norm, what is it with you and Hell Raiser?

LOL, you're right, that's TWO days in a row something has reminded me of that movie! Hmmm, years since I've seen any of those ... just goes to show how scarred I am from the experience. You should hear what my poor children have to endure when they look at the clouds & ask me what the shapes remind me of, lol.

Your avatar has a strange resemblance to the hooker-jackalope Terry Lasater found:

Norm, I'm with you man. I watched that movie at way too young of an age and it was a bit scarring for sure. Ugh, sex with a fleshless man.

...and the sequel showed sex with a fleshless woman.
