As you requested, I have inverted the colors of Ted Danson's head, as well as made a side-by-side duplicate.
Now, let us study the formal qualities of the piece, and see how it communicates to both the past and future passed:
Right off the bat, you can see my Foultar looking directly down at Myste's Foultar. This is a level of interaction unprecedented in avatars. That human contact can extend beyond the breaches of reality truly fuzzles the mind.
I think my art form is reaching its apogee, so I might want to stop making Foultars, before they become a parody of themselves--if that's possible. Well, here you go:

It's the obviously fake smile and the eyes that say, "I loathe your existence."
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
-George Steiner
"Good evening. The top news tonight: will she or won't she?
Many Watchers are watching to see if the Lady Myste will revoke her present avatar and adopt a new and much more disturbing one. Will she remain the beautiful and elegant icon of royalty the faithful at the Watch have come to know and love, as represented by her Edgetar? Or will she transform herself into something more sinister and rebellious, thus signalling a brave new era, represented by the Foultar? Will she remain Lady Myste or become, perhaps, Bizarro-Myste? Our field correspondent Wolf Blighter is at the scene of the vigil at the Lady Myste's residence. Wolf?
Peter, it's a very solemn, serious scene here. Behind me you can see there is a gathering of people on the front lawn of the Lady Myste's house. They've been holding a candlelight vigil here for several hours now, and they say they intend to stay until they see the sign of the Lady Myste's decision in the morning--assuming, of course, that she does make her decision at that time. Apparently, the sign will be a smoke signal from her chimney: white smoke means she will stay the course and keep her Edgetar. Black smoke means she will adopt the new Foultar. But the people here say there could be other methods by which she could signal her decision. I must tell you, the suspense here is so thick with cliches, you could cut it with a knife. Back to you, Peter.
All right, Wolf...that was our correspondent Wolf Blighter. We'll be right back after these messages..."
Damn it! I request an interview, Correspondent, so my side of the story may be heard! The press does nothing but demonize Foultars, calling the abstract nature of their art "foul" and "foulish"! I won't have it!

The deer population around me is pretty out of control. Therefore, a lot of them get hit by cars. I just saw one today that was mangled beyond recognition. I assume it was a deer because of the size of the pulped carcass on the blood-bathed road.
That was more pleasant to look at than Myste's new Foultar.
All lies and jest
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest -Paul Simon
I have seen deer carcases littering the Pennsylvania
highways, after an eighteen wheeler hit them, and indeed Fist, it was more pleasant than the Ted Danson double image. it shall haunt me...
Oh, and Myste? If you use that thing, I'm gonna ban you.

"Now if you remember all great paintings have an element of tragedy to them. Uh, for instance if you remember from last week, the unicorn was stuck on the aircraft carrier and couldn't get off. That was very sad. " - Kids in the Hall

You're very clever. Clever boys deserve favour. To congratulate you for such vintage 1987 quirkiness, I have rendered you a Foultar.

Halfway down the stairs Is the stair where I sit. There isn't any other stair quite like it. I'm not at the bottom, I'm not at the top; So this is the stair where I always stop.
