The Art of jhorsley3

It’s 10:35 pm, do you know where your awesome is?

I’ve been meaning to update recently but keep forgetting. I think I’m going to use this site as my official blog here at y2cl.net.  I have some updates in the art work department to show you. Starting with a little something Mike Gordon did for Halloween.

Ricardo Montalban portrait/tribute

Ricardo Gonzalo Pedro Montalbán y Merino (November 25, 1920 – January 14, 2009) was a Mexican-born American radio, television, theatre and film actor. He had a career spanning seven decades (motion pictures from 1943 to 2006) and multiple notable roles. During the mid-to-late 1970s, he was the spokesperson in automobile advertisements for the Chrysler Cordoba (in which he famously extolled the “soft Corinthian leather” used for its interior). From 1977 to 1984 he starred as Mr. Roarke in the television series Fantasy Island. He also played Khan Noonien Singh in both the 1967 episode “Space Seed” of the first season of the original Star Trek series, and the 1982 film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. He won an Emmy Award in 1978, and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Screen Actors Guild in 1993. Into his 80s, he continued to perform, often providing voices for animated films and commercials.

Farrah Fawcett portrait/tribute

Farrah Fawcett (February 2, 1947 – June 25, 2009) was an American actress. A multiple Golden Globe and Emmy Award nominee, Fawcett rose to international fame when she first appeared as private investigator Jill Munroe in the TV series Charlie’s Angels in 1976. Fawcett later appeared off-Broadway to the approval of critics and in highly rated television movies in roles often challenging (The Burning Bed, Nazi Hunter: The Beate Klarsfeld Story, Poor Little Rich Girl: The Barbara Hutton Story, Margaret Bourke-White) and sometimes unsympathetic (Small Sacrifices). Fawcett was also a pop culture figure whose hairstyle was emulated by millions of young women and whose poster sales broke records, making her an international sex symbol in the 1970s and 1980s. While her impact was particularly strong on the teens of the 1970s, her appeal spreads over multiple generations.

Billy Mays portrait/wallpaper

On Monday July, 6th I posted a comic with tributes to some celebrities that had recently passed away. I thought it would be a good idea to break each portrait out and give them their own post here as well as throw them into a portrait gallery. I’ve sized it for a wallpaper, and it will be available in the y2cl.net wallpaper directory, but if you need any other size for a wallpaper just email me and I’ll get it to you.

William Darrell “Billy” Mays, Jr. (July 20, 1958 – June 28, 2009) was an American television direct-response advertisement salesperson most notable for promoting OxiClean, Orange Glo, and other cleaning, home-based, and maintenance products. His distinctive beard and loud sales pitches made him a recognized television presence in the United States.

I’ll post one a day until they run out then move them all to the gallery.
