Forty-two icons this month, starring: Cary Grant [10--also including Kate Hepburn and Grace Kelly]; Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers [8]; Dick Powell [8--also including Ruby Keeler]; Alice Faye [6]; Joan Blondell [5]; Abbott and Costello [1]; Danny Kaye [1]; Fredric March/Clara Bow [1]; William Powell/Myrna Loy [1]; Errol Flynn/Olivia de Havilland [1].

Sweetness and sass )

By the way, I thought I should give notice that my iconage for this month may be less prolific. I've lately been feeling an urge to write instead of playing around in PaintShop, so hopefully I can put some time toward striking at my literary aspirations while the iron is hot. *g*

I made no X-Men icons during the very busy month of October, but I did manage to eke out forty classic film icons. Coming from me, you can be sure there's plenty of leftover Halloween candy in this batch. *g*

Contents: [8] Mary Pickford; [3] Myrna Loy; [4] Deborah Kerr; [6] Tyrone Power; [9] Boris Karloff; [4] Frankenstein; [2] Bela Lugosi (Dracula); [1] The Wolf Man; [1] Humphrey Bogart (The Return of Doctor X); [1] Peter Cushing; [1] Arsenic and Old Lace.

When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you... )

There should be more Tyrone Power and Deborah Kerr icons in the future. I still have several bases for each that I've been too busy to get to yet.

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 [livejournal.com profile] jamescagney in honor of Jimmy Cagney's birthday a couple of weeks ago.

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 )
jordannamorgan: Claude Rains as Maximus, "The Clairvoyant". (Clairvoyant)

[livejournal.com profile] 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.)

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 [livejournal.com profile] 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 )
jordannamorgan: William Powell and Myrna Loy as Nick and Nora Charles, "The Thin Man". (Thin Man)

More Thin Man wallpapers, although none are as elaborate as the one I did last week. True Love is my favorite of these three; I just love that picture. Perfect Couple turned out better than I expected at first. Powell & Loy is what it is--I'm actually getting a bit bored with starrysparkle stuff, even though it always works well.

I was going to be a good girl and settle down to write... but then [livejournal.com profile] hildy suggested I try my hand at some Thin Man icons. (Which was timely, since I just watched part of the TCM marathon of all six films two nights ago.) The pictures I turned up weren't entirely cooperative with my efforts, but I think I managed a few decent items.

By the way, how IS your father's side? )
