Well, here it is--the whole heap of general icons I turned out during the month of March. Some of these will have been seen as entries in icontests such as

classicicontest or

classics_stills--but the majority of them are completely new.

( Our lives are made in these small hours... )

Here are eight new James Cagney icons. Most of them are the result of my dinking with City for Conquest caps for the

classicicontest letter C challenge. Since that just ended, my entry is included here.

( I still say Danny Kenny deserved better. )

On the last Sunday of every month, I will be posting the month's roundup of challenge icons, along with "challenge rejects" that I made for icontests but chose not to submit (and perhaps any other loose icons I have on hand). Most of them will probably be classic film-related in the foreseeable future, but just about anything might turn up.

Since this is the first such post, all of the icons I've made for

classicicontest are here, as well as some recent strays that I missed in my backposting. But amidst all of the old news (at least for some of you), there are a few icons here that have never been displayed before.

( 25 icons: James Cagney, Danny Kaye, Frank McHugh, and many more )

Two wallpapers tonight, but there's an unusually complex story behind them.

Some of you may recall that my literary muses have a nefarious habit of throwing me plot bunnies for characters I dislike intensely, such as Rogue from X-Men or Tom Sawyer from LXG. Well, now my graphic-arts muses seem to be picking up the same contrariness.

The result is Danny and Peg, a City For Conquest wallpaper featuring Mister Right and Miss Wrong in a completely unintentional 'shippy light. A few of you may be delighted with it, but I was... nonplused. I honestly intended to make something that would be a subtle barb directed at Peg. ( In fact, I did still get a couple of little digs in. )

This brings us to the second wallpaper. Being irked that I had produced such a beautiful, Victorianesque piece for a 'ship I don't even like, I decided to recreate it with that most ultimate of screen couples--Nick and Nora Charles. This version is even more elaborate, and I do believe it's one of the best wallpapers I've made yet.

After three months of exile, Colonel Klink rides again! To celebrate my regained access to my main stash of graphics resources, I indulged in one of my therapeutic mornings of music and PaintShop, and produced four new desktop wallpapers starring James Cagney.

City For Conquest - A pretty, pensive scene from the film of the same name.

Smart and Tough - A bookish Cagney from G-Men.

Two-Gun Cagney - A great publicity pose from The Roaring Twenties.
