I offered a sneak peek at my upcoming collection last week, and you guys seemed to have enjoyed it. That was very exciting! I'm constantly looking for new ideas to explore and historical characters to colorize, which explains why I always have several lists of ideas flying around my house. I simply can’t stop, hence why some of the personal projects I’m working on have been in the "work in progress" stage since 2016... They simply are replaced by new ones that I end up deeming more interesting.
However, hearing from you, someone who closely follows my projects and for whom my work is ultimately intended, is way more enjoyable and fun than filling out multiple pieces of paper with random thoughts.
So… what would you like to see here next? What subject would you like me to explore?
Of course, it needs to be something that happened after photography was invented (as much as I’d love to colorize Da Vinci painting the Mona Lisa, I’m afraid it won’t be possible), preferably between 1860s and 1950s.
Also, besides colorization, what other kind of content would you like me to share here with you?
Leave your suggestions in the comments below. I’ll be reading all of them.
The history of the American traveling circus, now long gone, would make a great and colorful series bring new life into the show and backstage life of this vanishes institution. With its big tent acts, side shows and behind the scenes life of circus folks there is a lot of very interesting material here to explore.
Also, there are a lot of unseen photos of old Broadway shows like The Ziegfeld Follies and Vaudeville acts that beg to be brought back to their colorful glory.
Probation era and after night clubs with live shows is also a well-documented period in entertainment history that can use color to make this period more relevant to the younger generation.
The era of the great turn of the century amusement parks and their attractions as well as the attractions at various World's Fairs from the 1890's through the 1950's need a fresh colorful look to entrance other generations that missed these important events.
All crazy inventions, most of which never made it through, but some did and moreover in an unexpected way.
Maybe Olympic Games.
