Fi Webster's photos with the keyword: television

This one definitely belongs with Illustration Friday's theme of "Retro." The one thing I'll say about this now is that there's only one rubber stamp image: the brown triskele overlapping one of the skulls at the bottom. Other than that, this is 100% collage. But I'll be happy to answer questions about it. =grin=

Cut-paper collage postcard created for scrapiteria weekly challenge : "Television." I've always been struck by the expression: "I'm not a [—], but I play one on TV." It's as if television is a way of thinking about our alternative personae. Background is from one of the etchings in Piranesi's Invenzioni Capric di Carceri (1761). Dinosaur is a relative of Tyrannosaurus rex , as depicted by paleoartist Luis V. Rey. Woman is actor-writer Mae West, in costume for her 1928 Broadway play "Diamond Lil"--filmed as She Done Him Wrong (1933). The title, of course, is Mae West's exquisitely lascivious line from that film (often misquoted with "some time" at the end). She inserts a tiny pause after "and" and then emphasizes the word "see." It was named by the American Film Institute as one of the 100 most memorable movie quotations of all time. I associate Mae West with watching TV in the '60s. I've seen several of her flicks on the small screen, as well as her appearances on "The Red Skelton Show" and "Mister Ed."
