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.

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.

Jack Black of Spades


Here is a familiar face as the Jack of Spades.  With all his crazy and wonderful personas, Jack Black doesn't look at all out of place as the looney face card.

Joey da Bishop

Here's a Joey Bishop collage that I found in a Google image search.  I don't know who created it but it was associated with this joke furnished by Fred Zarguna in a post to www.freerepublic.com on 8/13/2011:
An Episcopal bishop, a Methodist bishop, and a Roman Catholic archbishop walk in to a bar... Smart Alec bartender shouts, "OK, where's the Jewish Bishop?"  Guy over in a booth in the corner says, "That's Joey Bishop. But he's either dead or in Vegas this week."

Reese with her spoon take two

Here's another take on Reese Witherspoon with a "Dora the Explora" kind of look.
