Wow, I really don't like the idea of having polygons turned into graffiti.

Please look at the 'polygon art' once more - now it has a
touch of mine also.

You guys may never believe it - but this exact picture is what
I used to make a lot as a child - this was the only human
(looking) face I could draw at that time: "Half face hidden with
hands on the wall, looking around, and those 3 spikes..."

When I saw that drawing I couldn't believe it... the only missing
thing was the 3 spikes - so I had to give them back to him...

To alexey - there is certainly an artist in you too.

You drew the thumbs - I give you my thumbs-up. :-)

dikbrijs just sent me this link - the source of his inspiration
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilroy_was_here">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilroy_was_here<;!-- m -->

and I believe when I saw that picture as a child - I copied it,
perhaps so many times that I even forgot whether I ever saw
it some place.

I don't know where those spikes came from... maybe a fusion
of art in my head... :-)

I am only putting this one on here because of the name of the object. Too much? Sturmovik seems insistent on it, but I have had to delete 3 derogatory comments from it this past week alone!

It seems to be a legitimate name, as it's mentioned in the main Wikipedia article for the course.

Not the studios - but its surroundings ... all too dirty and cluttered.
Our dry cleaners would clean it all up like its a religious duty or
something...

Wow, that last one really looks like a person's head and shoulders. Can't really vouch for a M16, though...I'm not an expert.
