This is where I'll be having a little more fun with the project. The grid is not traditional - it's more of an isometric projection grid, although the isometric part is a little wonky. It's just background, people - don't get all huffy about it.
Sheesh.
The bird takes center stage here, literally and figuratively. And although I don't have them in here yet, the "lines" for these spreads are going to be composed of movie lines - great quotations in film history that are just begging to spring from the mouths of anthropomorphized creatures.
Heh. I find it endlessly amusing...don't ask me why...
But DO tell me your favorite movie quotations, and I promise I'll use them and name a critter after you, okay?
I'll even let you pick if you want to be a bird or a lizard or a frog or a hippopotamus.
WAIT.
Tell me your favorite movie quotation AND the animal that should be saying it. I'll send everyone that plays along a little postcard of their drawing, 'mkay?
Because I need help, people. This teeny sketchbook has a lot of pages to fill before I have to send it back in January...
So many lines and movies to choose from...
ReplyDeleteTake your pick - Of course, Napaleon Dynamite has so many quotable lines but one of my favorites is "don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day.."
And another line, use it almost everyday, is from The Sandlot..."You're killing me, Smalls."
You are going to have so much fun with this! I love this idea! :)
Sorry, one more, also from Napoleon Dynamite that might tie in well with the animals..."do the chickens have large talons?"
ReplyDeleteI'll stop now...really.
I should have counted on you to come up with a fantastic theme...love the idea of line upon line.
ReplyDeleteI love this quote from Moulin Rouge by Harry Zidler..."A magnificent, opulent, tremendous, stupendous, gargantuan, bedazzlement, a sensual ravishment. It will be: Spectacular Spectacular." Should a grizzly bear say this?
I also love it when Loretta yells "Snap out of it! at Ronny Cammareri in Moonstruck. How about a cricket saying this?
Another favorite is this one from The Mirror has Two Faces, "She eats carrots now, isn't that tragic?" I don't know why but I love that line. Maybe a hippopotamus or an elephant should say this.
I can't wait to see how you pull this off. It's going to be fun. I'm glad you're sharing your art on the blog again. I've missed seeing it.
A Hippo saying, "Say hello to my little friend." from scarface
ReplyDeleteI'm loving them! Keep 'em coming, folks!!
ReplyDelete"Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night! " (All about Eve - spoke by Margo Channing - as played by Bette Davis) not sure about the animal though.
ReplyDelete"May I admire you again today?" (Duckie - Pretty in Pink)
"What's happenin' hot stuff?" (Long Duk Dong - 16 Candles)
I'd like to see a fox saying;
ReplyDelete"I'm your huckleberry." (from Tombstone :) )
And if I can be a scamp and request one more...
ReplyDeletePerhaps a bunny saying this from Breakfast at Tiffany's:
"You could always tell what kind of a person a man thinks you are by the earrings he gives you. I must say, the mind reels. "
A caterpillar saying "Oh, there must an easier way for me to get my wings..."
ReplyDelete"We are the Knights who say NI!" :) love that movie
ReplyDeleteno idea what kind of animal should say it, maybe ones that travel in groups. ravens, or ants or maybe cows :p
I'd love to see a red-eyed tree frog (because I love red-eyed tree frogs) quoting Spock (because I'm a Trekkie and a dork). Bonus if he's doing the little hand sign thing, too!
ReplyDelete"Live long and prosper"
(from probably all of the Star Trek movies)
This is going to be so much fun! I can't wait to see what you do with them. :) My husband suggests a meerkat saying "Welcome to the party, pal!", a line from Die Hard. I'll have to think about it to come up with one from me! :)
ReplyDelete"I have always depended on the kindness of strangers." (Blanche DuBois, A Streetcar Named Desire) Surely a flamingo would play the part that Vivien Leigh made famous, don't you think?
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Vivien Leigh, perhaps the famous line, "I'll think of some way to get him back. After all... tomorrow is another day!" from Gone with the Wind, spoken by none other than a Scarlet Tanager, of course!
Oh, I could go on... Have fun!!
You folks are really the best! Thank you so much!!
ReplyDeleteHi Diahn,
ReplyDeleteCool! Here's one of my favorite quotes:
"Remember; no matter where you go, there you are."- Buckaroo Banzai in the Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai and the Eight Dimension. Totally weird movie. I could imagine a frog or maybe a vulture being the animal making such a heavy quote. Could be a turtle or snail, come to think of it.
Buckaroo Banzai has lots of nonsense quotes. Dr Strangelove would be another movie with interesting quotes.
Or, maybe an animal playing James Bond...something elegant!
Fun project!
I can't for the life of me decide on animals to say these things (we already discussed that) but here are a few favorites:
ReplyDelete"Towanda!" (Fried Green Tomatoes)
"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." (Princess Bride)
"I see dead people." (Sixth Sense)
"Dozens of people spontaneously combust each year. It's just not really widely reported." (This Is Spinal Tap)
