Matt, I'm a huge F1 fan. Racing has been a passion of mine for a long time. Like many young boys, I had dreams of being a professional racing driver, sadly I didn't come from money. I was able to race F2000 here in Canada for a few years, then went on to being a racing/performance driving instructor for a few years after that. Eventually I had to get a real job.

That's awesome! I bet that was a lot of fun racing/instructing. I like to run into F1 fans. It doesn't happen often with me being here in the States that's for sure.
Matt it's like that in most places. One of the most memorable moments in my life was when I went to a racing school to work as a mechanic and train. We were a bunch of guys who came from around the world and met in one place with one thing in common, racing. I had never had so many people to shoot the breeze with about racing.

That had to be pretty awesome. I know plenty of people who are into racing here, but it's all about NASCAR. Most people have barely heard of F1, and even if they have, they don't respect it, most like other forms of racing.
I found the avatar on google images, just changed the background color and the cigar color (it was white, supposed to be a joint I think, lol) with Photoshop. For the big picture, I just took the avatar, blew it up to 8x10, and put a filter on it (Sumi I think). I probably should draw up my own, lol, but I'm lazy.

Hahah... Just as good. I mean if Sheppard Fairey can get away with it, why not you!!! Either way it turned out really cool.
