Meeting the Beatles

Hello World,

I’m a massive fan of the super British skiffle and rock and roll group The Quarrymen, they later became the slightly better mega global band known as The Amazing Beatles; Starring: Mr John, Mr Paul, Mr George and Ringo Starr.

As a special tribute to the fabulous four of them and because I have a lot of time on my hands, I’ve made this little flash looping video of the group performing one of their numerous super sound songs (maybe She loves you or maybe Maxwell's Silver Hammer or maybe one of their lesser known ones).

For a slightly bigger, slightly less distorted, slightly more downloadable and slightly better quality version go to my deviantArt page here.

Is this animation bigger than Jesus? Possibly not.

The end.

Solo Chewing

Hello world,

After a couple of days off I’m back with a brand spanking new picture of everybody’s favourite scoundrels, Mr Han Solo and his best mate Mr Chewbacca. Hopefully Chewie will be back in “Disney’s” new Star Wars films as he was always my favourite hero character.

I hope you like it.
The end.

The Ugly

Hello world,

The last picture in my the Good, the Bad and the Ugly series of drawings is of course of the mighty Tuco (Eli Wallach); the charismatic cowboy that pushes the film into legendary status.

Something else made by me will be coming soon.

The end.

The Bad

Hello world,

Continuing on with my the Good, the Bad and the Ugly drawings, here's a picture I've made of the very bad cowboy, Angel Eyes (Lee Van Cleef).

Guess who's next?

 The end.

The Good

Hello world,

Today I’ll keep it short and simple, here’s a picture of Empire’s 43rd greatest movie character of all time, the man with no name (Clint Eastwood); from one of my favourite films, The Good the Bad and the Ugly.

Those perceptive fellows might be able to work out who my next picture will be.

The end.

In space no one can hear you Hallowscream

Hello world,

Oooooooooo!!! This is a scary dead ghost typing from beyond a grave Oooooooo! Only joking dear reader, don’t worry, it’s just me and I’m not a ghost…or am I?…No, no I’m not.

Board up your windows and double lock your doors there’s some spooky goings going on; but fear not ladies, naughty man Peter Sutcliffe hasn’t escaped from prison, it’s just the Halloween again.

Yes it’s that time of year again when children of all ages don cheap plastic masks and knock on doors to demand free sugar bars for free, and at least one TV channel shows one of those Halloween films.

Us Brits don’t tend to celebrate the Halloween as we have our own special night on November 5th called the bonfire night. But in celebration of Halloween I’ve decided to post the final picture I’ve made of the Nostromo crew from my favourite alien space film, Alien.

Anyway all this spookiness can only mean one thing; it’s almost Christmas!!! More pictures coming soon.

The end.

It's a Thing?

Hello world,

Through most of my life I’ve found myself scraping by in a mild state of confusion; today is no different as I proudly present to you a thing I’ve made which ties together the Nostromo crew pictures that I’ve been making into the thing you see below. The only trouble is I’m not exactly sure what to call it other than a thing, it’s not an animation per se but then again it’s not just a static, soundless picture. I guess the closest thing you could call it is one of those menu things you get on a DVD that play on a loop only it’s not that.

Anyway I think we can all agree that whatever I’ve made proves once and for all that I have far too much time on my hands. For a flash animation looping version click on this link: http://stephencraner.com/flash_video.html
