Ye Olde Blog Banners…

I’ve noticed that whenever this blog gets linked somewhere, the linker usually mentions the blog banners. It usually goes something like, “Reeva Dubois is amazing… blah blah blah… astoundingly entertaining… blah blah blah… out of his mind…blah… I like his banner.”

My original intention was to change the banner weekly, and trust me, I have the banners to do it – I’ve made TONS – but I can barely be counted upon to even update weekly, so I let that project go. However, I’ve collected every banner I’ve ever used in a cute little archive, which is now available to you, my dear readers (all 10 of you). Go here…

There aren’t a whole lot. I was actually kind of surprised… it certainly feels like I’ve used more. As you can see, the collection is largely comprised of movie stills with a couple of TV shows thrown in for color. I’ve been itching to branch out into some music and book related banners, hence the Beyonce banner above. I’m particularly happy with that one; not only does it directly address my favorite thing at the moment (yeah, I’m still obsessed with that video), but it worked out brilliantly from an aesthetic standpoint. It looks like Beyonce is totally screaming my name in her hench-single-lady’s face.

I woke up this morning all set to change the banner, you know – start fresh, but I don’t think I’m ready to let Beyonce go just yet. But I’ve cooked up some good ones for down the road. Until such time, are there any requests?

I think you should find a signature banner and then switch it up for special occasions. you know, like google.

yeah but then you'll have to make the HUGE decision of which one to use.
