PS - how to make an Etch-a-Sketch of you in 5 minutes: Google images for an Etch-a-Sketch. Shade the screen middle gray. Get one of your pictures and crop it to fit the screen - erase the background leaving your profile. In Photoshop use the 'Smart Blur' filter with these settings: Quality: High Mode: Edge Only adjust Radius and Threshold for best results. Invert image and merge in Photoshop layer (or use a blending mode).

I saw them live '88, Keeper Of The Seven Keys tour.
My friend passed the singer a lighted pumpkin and he put it on top of a Marshall stack, where it stayed for the rest of the show.
To us 15 year olds this was mind blowing.

My favorite time of the year.
Shamefulness abounds in the socio-politico-econo-world, so why not extend the turmoil here?
I like to make strange, surreal, sci-fi-and-horror-based music.
Here are some appropriate for this season:
11 Scenes from Halloween:
http://soundcloud.com/arachnaut/sets/11-scenes-from-halloween/
and (presented for your consideration) a progressively warped Twilight Zone theme song:
Crepusculum I-V:
http://soundcloud.com/arachnaut/sets/crepusculum-i-v/
If you can stand these, here are my favorites [some go back to the early eighties before MIDI (let alone plug-ins) using hand-made gear*]:
My Favorites:

* Here is what I was doing in 1979 and I hardly ever leave the room to this day:
Nice to hear some old skool synth sounds freaking out!

Good try! Too much red and yellow though... Try using a gradient on the picture (desaturated) where both ends (light and dark) come from samples of the toast.
