Past entries 18: Rochester, Liszt, Rachmaninov, Chopin

[theblackeyeddog]

It's been a while! 'Tis the summer as of Thursday, so perhaps I shall make a few things over the breakishness? Then again, perhaps not as I am not here for all of it. But I may well make some more of these style things, especially of the Earl and if I can find any good new pictures of people. I started making some actual Rochestery icons for myself then kept making so thought I'd post them. Then I moved on to composers, but in my google image searching I found it harder to find good paintings of them, so this is it for now. But any other suggestions for where to find portraits of people from days gone by would be much appreciated, as though they're simple I rather enjoyed making them into icons :). As always, why make one icon of a picture when you can make 432 ;) so I apologise for the many similarities/only slight differences. That said, here's what we have!

01-23: John Wilmot, Second Earl of Rochester (plus the occasional monkey!)
lonely #24: Frédéric Chopin
25-30: Franz Liszt
31-34: Sergei Rachmaninov
And lots of Rochester banner things

Oh! And as a side note, I've been watching a number of Vanessa Paradis' films lately and thought I might try iconning some of them sometime. Does anyone know a good place for screencaps perchance?? Thank you in advance if so :)
