Description A long time ago... three gizka-loving people caught my 15,000th pageview. One got her picture within the week , another waited several months - and the third never received hers at all. There was talk of a Piggy saBinring bikini calendar (which I hoped she was joking about), but I don't think a request was actually made...

... And then recently she was drooling over a black & white photograph of a very young Vincent Price. So. This is for you, . Your Mr. Price in technicolour, classical-style.

This looks like Vincent Price in his Dragonwythe days! If you haven't seen that one, you definitely need to. This piece is a wonderful tribute to a wonderful actor!

Vincent Price is awesome! He always had such a wonderful voice. I'm liking his bow tie, and all the purple in the background. It sets off his warmer tones nicely.

LOL! I can never think of Price as anything *other* than a character from some horror movie... so it was mighty weird painting this. Thanks very much, Occy!

I was going to say that I like the eyes best but then I looked at his lips and liked them even better. Then I noticed his nose and eyebrows and... well, I can't decide. It's a dilemma, I tell you!

Nice job!

Vincent Price, the master of horror acting!

Have you seen or heard a better voice to incite fear?

He was well-suited for his roles. No contest.

ever seen Michael Jacksons, Thriller?

It was one of the very last projects Vincent Price did before he passed.

God his voice sets the tone to that video.

Nice. He reminds me of a Ken doll here though, with that hair.

Speaking of belated kiris... >.> <.<

I recognized Vincent right away from the thumb.This is a classic photo of him from the early years.He was supposed to a leading man heart throb type and instead wound up in horror films.Very strange.I guess he angered some studio mogul.

"...three gizka-loving people..." I guess that depends on your definition of love because one of said three eats them.

I've never seen him young, he looks really nice in this painting. I love the eyes.

True...

But I still really liked the Piggy calender, it was gigglicious.

It's ok, you're really rocking on the whole portrait front so I wouldn't want anything to distract you from your new awesomeness.

My image of Vincent Price has always been that of a bizarre middle-aged man with a moustache. Imagine my surprise when I saw this photograph.

Thanks, David.

Thank you for indulging my fangirly vices, dear twin. And this is beautiful work. Especially for all in one day (probably within short hours!) The colors are lovely...you made me afraid on purpose. Thank you for dressing him, too. This is way better than Piggy (although not as funny).

I'm glad you like it. And uh... surely you knew I wouldn't carry out a threat like THAT. My eyeballs might've fallen out.

just picture the glory: Piggy in a two-peice (wait, he's a Gamorrean... it would be a 4-peice, wouldn't it?), looking innocently over his shoulder. Admiral Akbar sunbathing. Dia's head-tails discretely hide an overzealous bothan hacker's...

you know you want to see Ketch riding a taun taun bareback

lolololol
