Miscellaneous icons for August

It's a few days early, but since my disk full of "pending icons" is filled to bursting, I really need to get some of them cleared out!

Here are thirty-six icons: [8] Abbott and Costello; [4] Vincent Price; [2] Vincent Price & Peter Lorre; [5] James Cagney (most with Frank McHugh and/or Pat O'Brien); [1] Edward G. Robinson; [2] Anthony Perkins (Psycho); [6] Jean Harlow; [3] Olivia De Havilland; [2] Margaret Dumont; [3] Disney animated (Snow White and Bambi).

( It's quite a rogues' gallery, isn't it? )

Next up, I will be posting twenty-eight X-Men icons in the next couple of days, after the results of one last icontest are in.

Here Comes the Navy & Libeled Lady icons; Cagney wallpapers

My monthly random assortment of icons should be posted soon. In the meantime, here are two movie-specific batches: twelve from Here Comes the Navy (1934), and fourteen from Libeled Lady (1936). The latter are by request; I apologize for taking so long, and that the quality of them is not nearly as good as I'd like. It was actually quite hard to dig up pictures from the movie, and those I did find were not exactly ideal for icon-making. However, I do have some screencaps for the request of Rear Window, which I will also get to when I can. :)

( Here Comes the Navy: James Cagney, Frank McHugh, and Pat O'Brien )

( Libeled Lady: William Powell, Myrna Loy, Jean Harlow, and Spencer Tracy )

While I'm posting, here are three wallpapers I posted at

jamescagney in honor of Jimmy Cagney's birthday a couple of weeks ago.

Fifty assorted classic film icons

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.

Assorted classic film presidential-spoof icons

beloved_tree has inspired me with the idea of making humorous presidential-campaign icons featuring classic film characters. Here are my first ten, from her suggestions and my own ideas. They include James Cagney and friends, Danny Kaye, William Powell/Myrna Loy, and Claude Rains.

( Our Vintage Party candidates... )

Does anyone have any suggestions for more icons like these? I'll take both single characters and candidate/running mate duos. (No political party references though, please. I want the icons to be universally appealing.)

Challenge icon grab bag for February

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 )

Icons: Frank McHugh and Lauren Bacall

beloved_tree and

nuranar gave me an excuse for a Saturday morning icon binge, having respectively prompted me to do Frank McHugh and Lauren Bacall. Here you go, girls; there are eight of each. Plus one bonus icon, of which I'm rather interested to see who claims it. *g*

( The Mutt and the vixen )

Owing to the wealth of lovely Bacall photos at Simply Classics, I actually made a dozen more bases than I used, so there should be more icons of her in the future.

Four Cagney-Bogart icons

My recent film noir reviews made the need for a gangster icon apparent. I made myself several to choose from, all starring James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart. Having taken my pick, I'm giving out the rest.
