30 Lauren Bacall Icons

Thirty icons of Lauren Bacall, made as a

fandomaid charity contribution for Hurricane Sandy victims. The requestor kindly offered to share the icons with other fans, so here they are. :)

22 Classic Icons

It's been a while! However, I have still been making icons, albeit at a somewhat slower pace than a few months ago. I now have an accumulation of twenty-two classic movie icons (to be followed by an equal number of X-Men icons).

Here are the classics, starring: Merle Oberon [7]; Harold Lloyd [6]; Lauren Bacall [4]; Jane Wyman [2]; Basil Rathbone [1]; Jean Harlow [1]; and Joan Blondell [1].

20 Bogart/Bacall Icons

I've been producing so many icons lately that you're going to see at least a few batches in the near future. To start with, here's a little post-Valentine candy featuring Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart. There are five icons of each of them separately, and ten of them together.

January Classic Icons

My goodness, what a month. *g* Minus all the Cagneyness I've already posted, here is January's icon haul. Fifty-five icons, starring:

Katharine Hepburn [11]; Norma Shearer [8]; Charlie Chaplin [7]; Doris Day [6]; William Powell [6]; Humphrey Bogart/Lauren Bacall [4]; Rudolph Valentino [4]; Sidney Poitier [3]; Greer Garson [3]; Rita Hayworth [2]; and Red Skelton [1].

( Oh, we're going to talk about me, are we? Goody. )

Greta Garbo fans should have a treat next month, if not sooner--because if I keep up this pace, I'll have to unload my icons more often! And for the X-Men fans, I'll probably go ahead and dispense with a Xavier-Magneto set within a week or so, when the challenge concludes.

May icon grab bag

Here we have forty icons--thirty classic stars and ten X-Men. Most of them were made for icontests, although not all were entered. There are a few award winners here that I'm reasonably proud of. *g*

Standard rules: please credit, comment, yada yada.

( The Classics: Cagney, Bogart, Stewart, Howard, Bogart/Bacall, March/Shearer, Powell/Loy )

( The X-Men: Deathstryke, Jean/Scott, Logan, Storm, Jubilee )

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.

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 )

More Lauren Bacall icons

Ten icons, using up the bases I made last time around. I didn't realize until I was finished that I'd made this batch rather monochromatic; with one exception, they're all in a blue-purple-red range. In spite of that, I think some of these are as good as anything I've ever done.

( Lauren is far too photogenic to not enjoy iconizing. )

I must thank

nuranar for her suggestion. I've had a brilliant time making these icons.

Wallpapers: Lauren Bacall

I had some ideas that I just couldn't work out in an icon-sized form, so naturally, I used my larger canvas. Here are two wallpapers featuring Lauren Bacall.

Tigress: While gathering photos at Simply Classics, I found a picture of Bacall with a tiger-print background, immediately followed by one in which she had a tiger-print blouse. I immediately knew I wanted to use them together. I didn't have any success combining them in an icon, so here they are as a wallpaper.

Asian Tapestry: That dress just makes me think Oriental for some reason, and I wanted to use those Japanese art accents (which were made by

sugarplumkitten, by the way). I'm very pleased with this piece.

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.

Two Humphrey Bogart wallpapers

Phillip Marlowe is

beloved_tree's fault. (Well, she and the background texture I found that screamed "cynoptimism"--although for originality's sake, I mangled that beyond all recognition.) I sincerely hope my use of two L's in the first name is correct. I'm somewhat annoyed that the edges didn't turn out more crisp, but there it is.

I could blame Love Story on Aspen too, but it also comes from the fact that Bogart/Bacall is the one real-life celebrity couple I genuinely like. It wasn't nearly as simple as it might look, but I'm very happy with the end result.
