"I love you. You may as well take my heart Catherine it's already full of you." "Please go!" "What is it? What's wrong my dear?" "You know nothing about me….you've known me only three weeks!" "Three weeks? Catherine I've known you all my life." "All your life?" "It's true, when I heard beautiful music I thought, 'she'd like that'. I looked at flowers knowing that one day I'd give them to you." "Oh stop, stop." "But for my heart there is another love that must come before you, my country."

THE DISCORD SERVER IS UP AND RUNNING
The discord server is for talking about your favorite movies. I mostly made it for movie fans who can’t find any fandom communities of their own to find friends and other fans of film. Fans of old Hollywood, late 20th century, modern films, TV, cartoons, anime es, and more can join and just chat with other film fans. Please read the server rules first, and have fun!
Realizing I posted the wip a super long time ago but not the finished poster… bang bang
Those’re my BOYS- Top contenders for my fav m&l duo Bill and Junior my beloved football bros
When the dork in the yellow vest sings “Broadway rhythm everybody dance” everyone better dance
Happy “this is my lucky day” March 23th 24th
Risograph esque style posters got me in a tailspin- they just scratch the itch in my brain that craves crazy noise and colour
Finished this a while back and it could really use more inbetweens but there’s no time for that- anyways THEY DANCE
Dean and Tony singing “America America” as they flood and explode the Empire State building at the end of Who Was That Lady are my last two braincells sabotaging me while I try to work
Happy New Year~ 2025 is gonna be the year where everything is great and we get it together
Dean says the word “kiss” and Jerry always comes flying in hot as if it’s a personal challenge
On today’s episode of “yeah maybe I am crazy” here are some rough throw away tests from a scratched Old Hollywood dating sim idea
I’m in such a mood for westerns rn I got Rio Bravo on loop in my brain but the city is literally covered with snow so the time for yeehawing is over- no cowboys I oughta be outside shovelling the walk
It is now a friday night tradition to draw a Fred and Ginger on my long train commute home
Ev’ry street’s a boulevard in ol’ NYC
So much Alfred Hitchcock floating around in my head right now
I’m inconsolably jealous of the artists that got to work on the Martin+Lewis series for DC comics
Quick sketch of Fred + Ginger I did on the train ride home
Switching it up with some Sinatra & Kelly bc I told myself I need variety then proceeded to branch out no farther than a different 40s Hollywood duo
Dear Mister Martin ✨
I was gonna do the whole clip with the vows but I got tired so maybe there’ll be a pt2 at some point idk the radio show has so many good moments it’s hard pick which ones to do
Smoke break…
Finally watched this movie… and it was a thing… that I watched… tbh I’d need a lot of convincing before I’d touch the other Matt Helm movies
The matching yellow fits at the end of the movie were hella cute tho… they were a cute couple
My love of cowboys, westerns and Dean Martin can’t compete with my hatred of drawing horses
Hear me out…
I know it was probably a fairly serious and sad time after the split BUT every time I read something about Dean chasing Jerry around the Paramount lot because he kept ducking to avoid him- to the point he literally had to hold a sit down meeting and scold him- I just can’t help picturing Dean literally trying to track Jerry down in full campy horror movie mode, being an absolute menace on the studio grounds, screaming his head off as they run around in circles of Looney Toon dust.
And all Dean wants is a little wave good morning cuz he misses his partner (but also poor Jerry he obviously wasn’t ready)
There’s zero basis for this but it was kinda fun to make anyways.
