lol, your avatar has got me thinking a few times. As a veteran protester of course. A protest where everybody takes flowers and hurls them at the police ?.... I'm still an angry young man at heart though* and would still prefer to hurl excrement.

Was going to post "Human Punk" by The Ruts but no good original link to be found. So here is a taste of genuine political punk that got me fired up so long ago... this is THE RUTS not "the roots" as the tv show states...with "Babylons Burning"

YouTube - Ruts - Babylon's burning 1979

Here's a picture of former Washington state Governor Gary Locke, his wife Mona Lee Locke, and their two of their three children, Emily and Dylan. {I don't think Madeline had been born yet when this picture was taken.} :)

I think you must be mistaken SG? Those are chinese people? (;))

I am thinking Japanese...which would help to explain some of the close business ties Japan has with Washington state...apples, farms, our NW rain forests, things like that.

And dude...your avatar is so, like, Jason...or Metallica.

P.S., I've got a pretty good idea where Greymare's boat avatar came from... ;)

Would making an inlaid chess board with both the squares and a background image be feasible? {Contemplating a birthday gift for my brother.}

Feasible?
Depends on the design.
I can see a silhouette being the most feasible as the colors can be alternated without losing the board pattern.
A flute playing asian princess would be most difficult to incorporate into such a piece.

They are clearly chinese! You forgotten the playground nursery rhyme?

Yeah I was going for a Voorhees look (was my most popular look when DJ'ing)

Whats the story with your avatar?
 
They are Chinese, the Gentleman certainly looks it. You can tell by the noses, shape of heads and faces and body..

I have a very good Japanese friend now lives in Nagoya taught me the differences hehe.

I was thinking of something more like Escher's Sun and Moon, except using squares instead of birds.

The sun could be done with honey onyx, or there are a few travertine styles which could be used as they have the sun rays already as a feature, but they would have to be picked carefully to get the proper effect and that could be difficult to find.
Not impossible, but challenging.
There is another way of doing it which would involve making the 2 designs separate, epoxying them together and then cutting them into the grid pattern.
If you are interested in pursuing this you could PM me.

That's what I was thinking, with maybe a black granite with white flecks for the night sky background, the moon out of a white marble, and the sun out of a gold travertine, with maybe a blueish marble or agate (can you even get agate slabs? :eek:) for a cloudy day sky background...
