okay, now that I have read some posts and looked a little closer, I am definitely seeing more.... I guess the face somewhat resembles Lincoln, though it is a stretch; I highly doubt it is a white man; the flag on the hand is pretty cool; and ping me when you tell everyone the answer.

I admit to fast-forwarding to your explanation.

That being said... Whatever you have in mind when using this picture...forget it.

The most significant point of any artwork using the human form or face is the "attitude" depicted. This artwork is just a rehash of the tired old theme of an "angry black-man." To put it in one word: YAWN.

The first "TV persona" I thought about after seeing this picture was Leo Terrell (sp?)... A person who come across with such an angry attitude that you wonder if you should send him a gift-membership in the "Enema-for-Life Club"...And then wind-up ignoring anything he might be saying.

IMHO: You should find and use a picture that depicts hope and courage, not anger and rage.

Best wishes,

Who the hell is the "we" of which you speak?

Me and the turd in my pocket. But I prefer your usual style; coy doesn't wear particularly well for either one of us.
