Just trying to play some chess...

A Game of Chess is another Bogart wallpaper, or rather a Casablanca Rick&Louis item. Now, other than having the effect of a nicely vintage newspaper scan, this one probably doesn't look like much--unless you realize what wasn't in the original picture. (Here's a hint: it was inspired by one of [livejournal.com profile] beloved_tree's icons.) This is my first halfway decent attempt at such an insertion, and it's still far from perfect, but let's see what the rest of you think. I hope it's at least good for a chuckle.

Then there's God Bless America. No, it's not Independence Day--it's just me finally achieving my ambition of creating a really patriotic Cagney wallpaper. Prodigious thanks to [livejournal.com profile] roses_for_ann for scanning a thoroughly Adorable picture from Yankee Doodle Dandy.
