I was looking forward to doing another tile ever since I did one on the first mosaic. I had no idea what-so-ever for this tile. I was hoping to be inspired by the edges that I would get. Then, I found out I was going to be one of the first 4 people to get a tile, and I wouldn't have any edges to go by! So, as I was listening to my iPod (in shuffle mode), Metallica's "Ride The Lightning" came on. I said "Ah Ha, LIGHTNING!" I can do something with lightning. . .

I tried Photoshop's Clouds filter, nahh, not what I was lookin' for, so I remembered the beginning of Jerry Bruckheimer movies, the tree that gets struck by lightning, I could draw a desert scene like that, maybe with a tree or cactus or something. . .

Well, that didn't come out too well. So I kept the road, drew the lightning, and said, I'll put in my avatar, too.

My Disturbed Face avatar. I went to Google Image Search for Disturbed face, and found a patch, copied it into Photoshop, traced in with the pen tool, turned off the patch layer, scaled the face up to fit to my liking, added drop shadow, and THAT'S my tile.
