"I shot the turkey but I did not shoot the deputy!" this guy is handing a murdered bird over to a couple in order to help the celebrate the american Thanksgiving holiday. I suppose this is back in the day when you would take a fresh one home and then pluck it yourself.
This is a silhouette of the Salt Lake Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) made by my friend Jay and I. It is optimized for cutting on a Cricut.
I found this old ornate frame somewhere in the depths of ancients public domain images a loooong time ago, but I never went about synthesizing it because it's balance and design was a little odd. I was looking at it tonight, and it just started to appeal to me. I wanted to share it's pre-digital joy with the world.
I usually avoid using English in images if I can help it, but this stylized text screaming "KISS" just seemed to fit. (I left them as separate objects to make it easy to remove the text if you don't want it.) This is actually two different sources combined together. The first was an advertisement, and the other was a news piece talking about how public kissing was outlawed in new jersey america (in 1915!) which was funny. ITs: been synthesized together for future enjoyment-- just in time for valentines day!
This is from the cover of an 1890 (of course, public domain) sheet music pamphlet. The music was for some patriotic jingle. I can just imagine this serving many other uses, or maybe wasting away on this corner of the web. Maybe it won't be used for *another* 110 years!
Yet another frame. What is wrong with me? I think it is my personal goal to wait before making any other frames. Not even sure how someone would use one. Hope it helps someone, somehow!
This is a frame around a poem. The poem was either super old or pretentious, because it doesn't make a lot of sense if you read it quickly: "Oft in the stilly night,
Ere slumber's chain has bound me,
Fond memory brings the light,
Of other days around me;
The smiles, the tears of boyhood's years,
The words of love then spoken,
The eyes that shone, now dimmed and gone,
The cheerful hearts now broken!
Thus in the stilly night, &c."
Anyway, the frame is available for new generations to use in whatever ways they want!
