Blog Description

This is a site where you can post graphics created by using celebrity names that have a common meaning in the English language beyond just being the person's name. These meanings might be objects, actions, trades or occupations etc. The idea is to use a play on these words to create a collage picture representing the celebrity's name.

Minnie's Driver

I was lucky to find a caricature of a gal on a golf cart holding up a golf iron. I found an image of Minnie Driver that looked like it would fit the golf cart picture and pasted it over the gals face. I wanted the golf club to be a driver to complete the pun on Minnie's name and to be over large to emphasize the golf club connection. I had to change the coloration of the caricature's flesh because the Minnie picture didn't match. Thank you Minnie, we love you!

Texas Ranger's Walker

In this Celeb Collage Chuck Norris appears to have done as many older actors do, that is become a spokesperson for a product in which senior citizens may have some interest.

I found the face, the body, the badge and the red "Walker" sign at different locations on the web.  The walker was improvised as I couldn't find a picture of a walker with the right proportions for the figure.

Harrison's Ford


In 1932, "Ford Motor Company" came out with a much improved version of its Model A, hence the " Model B" as shown above. In coming up with a pun picture for "Harrison Ford", I settled on a picture of a very nicely restored Model B convertible. I had to flip it to mirror image in order to match the photo of Harrison Ford that I had selected. If you could see the Ford logo on the radiator, you would see that it is backward. The resolution of the photo is too low to allow you to see evidence of my sneakiness. I thought the little Ford fit well with the "Indy" persona of Harrison even though it's early 30's era is not consistent with the World War II time frame of the Indiana Jones films. As for Harrison, I decided to give him the "Indy" look he is so known for. His photo came with the fedora hat, but I had to add the whip and leather jacket.  I added a hint of the pyramids and sphinx (copied from a book jacket) in the background to complete the Indiana Jones flavor.

Grouchy Marxist


In 1960, "Nikita Khrushchev" supposedly banged his shoe on his rostrum before the UN General Assembly in response to a speech by the Philippine delegate.  The shoe incident"has been shown to be false". But it made a good front page news story at the time. A photo of Nikita with a shoe photo-shopped into his right hand has come down to us as a reminder of those cold war days. Here I've taken that photo and put "Groucho Marx's" famous face on it with a Groucho-like (actually a "Henny Youngman" rip-off) comment in the voice bubble. There may be more truth to this version than the original.

Hannah and her blisters

Here I've used the sound alike idea to show "Daryl Hannah" rubbing her blistered feet.  (She may have gotten the blisters walking around New York city barefooted as in her mermaid movie
"Splash".)  The art work for the body was actually of a woman sitting on the toilet.  In addition to replacing the head with Daryl Hannah's, I had to bend the left leg up to accomodate the concept.  Of course the sound alike notion refers to "Woody Allen's" movie
"Hannah and her Sisters".

A Verry Merry Alex


Airborne in a sleigh pulled by eight tiny reindeer this jolly old elf arrives on the roof tops and entering each house through the chimney he leaves presents for the sleeping inhabitants then departs the same way calling out "Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night" as he flies away urging his coursers into the midnight sky.
