Salvaged Imagery

MORE 'LONG LOST' Graffik imagery I had written off as being gone forever: although I try and keep back-up copies of all of my digital color stuff [which exists only in cyber-space, naturally] , now and again those tempremental computer drives manage to 'lose' a lot of images 'accidentally' and this was the case as illustrated here. When I got my new desktop recently, I was delighted to retrieve a lot of the larger elements which I thought I had lost permanently:  some of this material is mooted to be added on here, including various  never-seen-before stuff.

This image may be familiar to some readers of this site as it has already appeared as a portion of the posting dated Nov 21 , 2014: Return of the Babe, a 'widescreen' image that attracted a fair number of hits.

The main problem with the wider shots is that the characters and other details are usually shrunken-down and thus a lot of the resolution of the original cartoon images as originally drawn are lost in the translation: happily I can finally  show some of this material in closer-up form.

A CLOCKWORK ORANGE is most certainly one of the biggest films of my lifetime: the ultimate---and only-------dodgy exploitation film ever put out by a mainstream studio [Warners] as well as a name director. I waited an agonizing 14 years yearning to see this,  before finally obtaining a blurry pirate VHS copy [in late 1990] : before this, the endless tantalizing stills promised a veritable feast of nightmarish imagery. It's still pretty unsettling stuff today: the dress code of the thuggish 'droogs' has a lot to do with the potency of the imagery, I reckon.

I still watch the film a fair bit, but I don't especially 'enjoy' watching some of the bad-dream stuff of the first 40 minutes.

Anyway, here we see cat-babe Veronica in her bowler and bovver boots get-up.

Great experiment, this cartoon. See my oft-used trick of drawing heads larger then shrinking them into another drawing: very useful for doing delicate faces.
