kaberett to make me a classy music icon -- and thanks also to 
besskeloid for a cool suggestion -- but in the end I decided I wanted to make my own.So I toyed with the idea of producing a blue-washed photo of myself à la Joni Mitchell, but couldn't be bothered trying to take new photos and couldn't find any suitable ones. I failed to produce a satisfactory Badger Mask Replica -- the idea still appeals, but all my attempts were too lame even to post here. I was briefly quite pleased with this rather generic one:
until I realised that when it was reduced to LJ-icon size the writing was so tiny as to be illegible. Finally came up with the icon you should see on this post, which is just about recognisable and, I think, just naff enough to suit me. :-)
