J-Dog's new avatar.....a note of recognition

J-Dog, I have been on the Forum and have noticed that your avatar has changed.
I must say, while appearing to be another quantum-leap into modern art and breathtaking in itself in concept and execution, AND how rare and in-demand this style of avatar may be, I must without haste bring up one small point....
It appears that you have me credited as the artist of your fine work. While I am humbled to be considered the creator of such a benchmark of artistic flair, I simply cannot take credit for something that is so near God-like in it's perfection.
I DO, however, know who is responsible for bringing this artform to the masses. After my trip to Sotheby's in London to bid on my current avatar (and being the winning bidder at $750,000.00), I was able to really examine it in detail and determined that it was the first of it's kind, in the same manner that the Big-Bang was the first of everything that is or meant to be.
One revelation in this examination was that I actually found a signature on mine, a Eureka moment for sure.
There it was, scrawled on the back in the upper left-hand corner in the same ancient formula of oil-based paint used by DaVinci was the name........wait for it......it was......
John Williams.
I cannot take credit, my friend. He is the artist of my own avatar, an artist for the ages. I'm getting misty, so I'll stop now....
