I like Tweety best

Twelve popular characters transformed into monsters by Dennis Carlsson. Terribly beautiful, click here to view the gallery at PoMoFo. Still, nothing beats the classic monster tweety bird from 'Hyde And Go Tweet' (1960), of course.

Tightrope Walker

They say, there is nothing so fatal to a character as half finished tasks. That is why I finished my very part on an almost never ending project, last week. Now, we come down the stretch. BTW, this very duck here represents how I felt until last. :-)

Radar Men from the Moon


The Sky Marshal appears to defy the laws of gravity, for a moment at least, as he lands in the arms of a prop man during production of the film. Production photo, "Radar Men from the Moon," at Red Rock Canyon in the Mojave Desert, 80 miles northeast of Hollywood, Calif., Dec. 12, 1951 (via).
