WALLPAPER: HOW TO

One of my favorite hobbies I love to do, is create graphic art from public domain imagery. I love to restore old public domain photos/film captures in particular. Depending on the quality of the image, some can be quite difficult to work with; however, it's fun to see what kind of ideas I can come up with. From time to time, I'll be sharing some of my art as wallpaper. Please do not hesitate to share them with your friends; it would be not only a great way to support me, but show appreciation for cinematic history and my blogs. Most will be for wide-screen monitors, however, you can go into your desktop properties and change the viewing to your taste.

Instructions: Simply click on the wallpaper link your interested in. The desired wallpaper will open up in a new window. Depending on your browser, Right-click on wallpaper image. You will see a list of options. Some will already give you the option to "save as background", this will automatically put the image on your desktop. If you do not have a wide-screen monitor, just go to your properties and change the image placement. Other browsers should give you a "Save image as" option, at this point, you will be able to save the image on your computer, and then right click on it to "Set As Wallpaper". That's it!! Enjoy.

Sigmund & The Sea Monsters, boy do I remember this show. God, It must have been the cheeziest ever!! The monsters apeared to be in a one piece rubber outfit. When the monster’s spoke, it looked like the person under the costume was trying to clap both hands to speak. They seemed to be more like hand pupets than looking at a full bodied (migit) person. The monsters kinda remind me of a Flinstones episode, were Fred had these new neighboors called the “Groosomes” I believe.. They looked just like the cartoon.. Hahaha.  The co-star Johnny Whitaker also stared in another TV show called “Family Affair”. If you want a fun, silly, and safe show to watch with your children?  This classic is the one for you.

Jim Kelly was Born 1946. He became one of the most well known black martial artist during the 70′s. He stared in movies such as “The Black Samuri”. In almost all his movies, he’s had a cool demeanor about him. Never did I see him once try to get his cloths dirty. He was like the kung fu version of “James Bond”, in that he had ALL the ladys; the only difference is Jim did not use hi-tech gadgets.

He also maybe best remembered for his appearance in “Enter The Dragon” Starring Bruce Lee”. This is one of my all time favorite martial arts movie. However, I was dissappointed that they did not allow Jim kelly to do more fighting in this movie. But then again, Bruce Lee was the star.. LOL
