That is SO INTERESTING - you know, I'd always presumed your icon was a self-portrait that you had drawn yourself - I can see now that it isn't quite your style, but it's not a million miles from it. I really like it for the reasons you've mentioned; it's simple and charmingly whimsical.
I hadn't picked up on all the Belle and Sebastian refs! And I didn't know the Albatross poem, but I do now! I'm not sure if it's meant to be tragic or farcical? I'm going to read it again.
Your banner is wonderful. It almost shouldn't work, because there's so much in there to look at, but it's so rich and vivid.
