The avatar is an accurate artist's rendering of myself. It's been used as the basis for a character in some obscure TV show without my permission. I really should look into legal action.
The username is from when I started making custom DVD covers when I was 13-14, which I started specifically to replace the "paper bag" cover of the old Army of Darkness "Bootleg Director's Cut" DVD. In case you can't tell, I was a bit obsessed with the Evil Dead trilogy at the time. I used it when I registered over at OT and I became active enough there that I felt like I had to keep it to maintain a single identity across various video project type sites (OT, FE, FanRes, MySpleen, the like).
It's been my handle for so long I'd probably answer to Ash in real life, even though that's not even close to my real name.
