Hi guys, :) took a break from animation yesterday and today and I had a thought it might be fun to do this:
Well, it was a passing thought and it filled up 4 or 5 hours playing with it. Better than vegging out in front of the tube I guess. :P

And let this former theater arts major be a PITA and point out the misquote (everyone always misquotes it, but still).
"Alas, poor Yorick. I knew him, Horatio, a fellow of infinite jest."
While he did, indeed, know him well, he never says that.

"Alas, poor Yorick. I knew him, Horatio, a fellow of infinite jest."
Been itching to point out the misquote, but trying to be less of a pedant. :)
As to the image, I really like it. As others have suggested, A contender for banner of the month.

Yeah, I couldn't keep my mouth shut because it's really one of my favorite speeches from that play (MUCH better than the more famous "To Be" one -- at least to me).
I'm not usually that much of a stickler, but I got up early and felt a bit grouchy <g>.

So, Kelleytoons, if you know so much,
maybe you can tell us which of those apartments in the background is his...
at least, is it "2B or not 2B, That's What I'm Wondering."

Thanks guys much appreciated. :)
My favorite Shakespeare line is from "Romeo and Juliet" when, upon his mortal wounding, Mercutio, Romeos' best friend,
jokes about his wound: "No, tis not so deep as a well, nor wide as a church door, but tis enough, it will serve. Ask for me
tomorrow and you will find me a grave man."
Anyone that can joke while he is dying deserves, and gets, my total admiration.
[Funny joke slide47b, I liked it)
:cool: pete
P.S. I'm a little burnt out on the Banner of the Month, I'll probably let it pass.

Well we have had Pride and Prejudice and zombies. So Shakespeare vs aliens could be next (if you ignore the fact that Dr Who already did it).

"There is nothing new under the sun."
Everything has been done before, in a general sense. Juxtaposition is as old as art itself so I can guarantee you that whoever wrote Dr. Who
didn't come up with his bit in a vacuum, somebody had done similar before. Milton Berle said, "I never stole a joke I didn't like." Pablo Picasso said
(later stolen by Steve Jobs) "Good artist copy, Great artist steal." Now the truth is that great artists don't steal the work, they steal the idea and fashion it
into their own interpretation of that idea. The difference may be obvious or subtle but there will be a difference. The artist that succeeds
in a 'proper' stealing will create a 'new' perspective on the original idea. It's this new perspective that will make the updated version viable
as art and not theft.
So, yes, I guess you can say that I am ignoring the fact that Dr. Who met Shakespeare because it is irrelevant to my illustration. It is equally as irrelevant to
anyone that does similar work because the idea is older than Dr. Who and is a universal given in art.
