Cool Signature Pics??

I'm sure this topic has been beaten to death, but I noticed that a ton of you guys have sweet caricatures of your MINIs in your sigs. Where did you get these? I think they rock.

I want one for my future MINI.

I did my most recent, but there's other guys here who have done them as well. Most use photoshop, some use other stuff, some even use windows Paint. /shrug

I have a new Powerbook G4, but no photoshop on it, yet.

I do have it on my windows XP pc though...I've tried it a few times and it seems to be way over my head. I know nothing about graphic design.

I'll have to look into it. I really like those MINI pictures.

Thanks everyone.

Ok...So instead of trying to learn Photoshop, I decided to just make one by hand. I used Sharpie markers and colored pencils, then took a pic of it with my digicam...lol. It came out ok. Not as good as the computer-made ones, but not bad. Check my sig. Right now I'm leaning toward white with blue bonnet stripes for my MCSc, that why I chose to use those colors.

Although it is not a little caricature, my little sig pic is my avatar on most other forums that I frequent. I made it myself a few years ago



edit: I was inspired by this thread to make a new sig image, which is now below :D My old one is above.

a friend of mine is a graphic designer and he did my signature - all of that photoshop stuff is like a foreign language to me!

p.s. is it just me or does anyone wish they would make a brown mini - like the one in the clips from mini2?(see above) that would be awesome!
