Popular Post Charlie E Posted May 13, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 Gotta love a bad-eyed bad guy. Jack Elam took a pencil to the left eye when he was 11 leaving him blinded in that eye and causing it to drift off center, and likely changing the direction of his future as well. He appeared in many western movies, over 20 episodes of Gunsmoke, got shot down by little Joe Cartwright, and was a great comedic actor in movies like Hot Lead And Cold Feet. The portrait may not be perfect, but it's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. Thanks @MarieC for suggesting him. The pattern is in the library under new patterns if anyone is interested. jr42, ChelCass, Dan and 7 others 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heppnerguy Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 Not very familiar with the actor but you sure did a great pattern from the photo, as you always manage to. Dick heppnerguy Charlie E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarieC Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) Wow! You really captured him ...and you did it so fast! Excellent work. I didn't know all that about him and that he was blind in one eye. You are amazing to be able to take any photo and make a pattern out of it...incredible! Will he go on your "Wall of Cowboys"? ....Hmmm, that got me thinking... are their any Cowgirls on your wall...The only one I can think of was Jane Russell...

Thank you! No cowgirls yet. I noticed a couple of years ago when I had maybe 30 portraits total that they were all male and white. I corrected that and now have more diversity in race and gender. And yes, I did add him to the cowboy section. Edited May 13, 2023 by Charlie E MarieC and barb.j.enders 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie E Posted May 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) @MarieC Here's what it looks like as of today. I had a mishap a couple of weeks ago and knocked down one of my favorites, Frodo and Sam from Lord Of The Rings, and it shattered. My favorite art in the shop is the drawings by my grandkids.

MarieC Posted May 14, 2023 Report Share Posted May 14, 2023 Wow! That is so amazing! I am at a loss for words...and that doesn't happen very often . I do love your cowboy wall but your Jonny Cash is pretty hard to beat! I am sorry to hear about Sam and Froto....That is heart breaking. Are you going to do another? Love your Grandkids art, too...I suppose you look just like their drawings! MC Charlie E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have it on blue ray. And Denzel is one of my favorites too. I have one of him on my wall already but I've thought about doing him from this movie to add to the cowboy section.
