Graphic gurus, can you help me enlarge my avatar?

[CrispyQ]

I want to carve a pumpkin like the one in my avatar. I have no artistic skills, but I can trace! However, when I enlarge my avatar, it gets all distored, especially those beady little eyes.

Any suggestions?

1. First question: where did you get the avatar?

Because maybe it's already available in a larger size?

2. From another DUer last year.

I've googled all variations of bush, impeach, & pumpkin but can't find it.

3. Ah. Figured as much but had to ask anyway

I hope a graphics guru can answer this -- I've tried doing similar things, but never get the result I'm after, so I'm sure there's a way that I just don't know about.

4. I may have to sacrafice a few pumpkins to get it right.

It's such a great design!

5. Will this work?

6. Yes! That is perfect!

I see now, that what I thought were his eyes are really his brows. I will definitely be able to make a pattern from this. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: I'm going to my local farmers market tonight. They have nice big pumpkins & I will look for one of similar shape.

If you didn't already have a star upon thar, I would buy you one. Thank you, Omphaloskepsis!!

7. Maybe you could donate a pumpkin pie to your local homeless shelter on Thanksgiving..

Or a battered womans shelter. That would make me happy.
