Today (May 27th 2011) is the 100th birthday of Vincent Price! So I decided to draw 100 Vincents! On Sticky notes! This piece showcases many of his greatest (and not so great) roles, performances, and appearances. It was a little tough trying to find 100 roles of his, so I had to really dig deep, but I still couldn't get exactly 100, so I had to resort to a few doubles and also a series of his different costumes from his personal horror favorite "Theater of Blood". I know a lot of these aren't really the best drawings but I feel that the whole piece together is what will look good.

The first Price movie I ever saw was "The Great Mouse Detective" (said to have been his favorite role) but of course being a little kid I didn't care who did the voice. I was in middle school when I saw "The Raven" on AMC when they used to play classic horror movies on Friday nights. My dad told me about him and I eventually recognized his voice and linked it to Ratigan. I was very amazed that such an actor who was mostly known for his horror roles would step out of that and do light and funny roles too…and succeed at it! Thats my favorite thing about Vincent, always mixing horror and comedy.

For the past week in his home town of St. Louis, Missouri, they've been having a festival in his honor called Vincentennial. I really wanted to go but there was no way, but it feels good to atleast do artwork in his honor.

Thank you for bringing us such great fright, laughs and all around joy from your films and warm, charismatic personality. Happy Birthday, Vincent. You're a great inspiration to me and it would have been a life long dream for me to meet you. But I hope that if there is an afterlife that I can meet you there. Goodbye so soon and rest in peace.

PS: Sorry for my bad hand writing, I'll be sure to post up a list of all the films I drew here :<

100 Years of Vincent Price by ~SeizureDemon
While this is a homage to Vincent Price the actor, it is also a tribute to all the characters, movies and TV shows he appeared in. As the suggester says: "May 27 was the 100th birthday of Vincent Price, an actor well-known to horror buffs as an icon of the genre, but also a patron of the arts, a gourmand and an amazing storyteller. This piece is a lively and skillful tribute to a creative life well-lived, and hundreds of memorable characters well-played." ( Suggested by `Memnalar and Featured by ^KasumiCR )

This rocks.

Remember seeing some of these when they used to have the 4:30 movie on channel 7. They had one week that was all Edgar Allen Poe movies and all of these had Vincent Price in them.

I also do remember Hollywood squares too.
