I like using silent film stills for icons; because they had to exaggerate emotions to get them across without sound, they come over well in tiny pictures. (okay, I also like them because they're old and I like old:) Here are six, the first three including silent film card text... simply because.


      
      
      


      

My 2015 naarmamo image gallery is here, with the previous ones from 2009-2014 linked at the bottom of the page :)

The fellow looks like the kind of gormless bloke one would find in Jeeves & Wooster...

Which is probably why I like him, perhaps....

Very dramatic! I'm rather in love with No. 4! Indeed!

Theda Bara... not much of an actress but could strike poses with the best of 'em :)

I love them! Immediately, I was thinking of my favourite silent films I used to see in an old cinema with my brother every Sunday morning. I was about 5 years old but I loved these!!!
Perfect design, really delightful!

There's something about them that appeals to the history lover in me...

They're so dramatic, and work perfectly with the color tones. Nice touch using silent-style captions.

I was thrilled when I found places with blank silent film cards I could use... :)

Yes! Their expressions are perfect for iconage, and your captions just make them even more perfecter. ;^)
