brightknightie: Three seasons of Forever Knight (Cast)
Signal boost to [personal profile] switchbladeeyes's post:

Kristin H. has shared good quality copies of almost all the color Forever Knight press package promo photos, including two I hadn't seen before. See her archive on Facebook. I was able to download copies even though I don't have a Facebook account. (They raised memories of the very few Starlog issues with articles about FK, which I read at the public library.)

FK images, whether promo stills or episode screenshots, are much rarer online than they used to be. I imagine that this is mostly due to age, but partly also to the passing of DVD drives attached to computers. If there's a way to screenshot streaming, I don't know it.

I recently stumbled across a beautiful Toronto photography project, the "Toronto Sunrise Series," by Taku Kumabe, a freelance photographer and art director. I highly recommend enjoying this art. I particularly like this one.

It began as a personal project in 2014 and has grown to be not only an amazing gallery, but apparently also a community with an annual meet-up. Kumabe writes: "[The] majority of my images are taken from various parks along the lakeshore in the West end of the city; "[my] photos serve not only to capture the beauty of the sunrise, but also document major meteorological events" and can be "a study on Toronto's waterfront." Inside the overall "Sunrise" series are "Birds in flight" and "Abstraction" sub-series.

Read about the project. Or go directly to the photographs in the portfolio. There's apparently an Instagram account, too, if you're on that platform.

(Of course I was looking for a new image for my home-computer desktop to inspire me while writing this month. I specifically searched on "Toronto sunrise" -- not sunset -- and found this delightful surprise.)

If we all worked together, do you think that we might muster a roster of excellent Forever Knight fanart works sufficient for a month as a volunteer recommender on [community profile] fanart_recs? I'll do the writing and posting, if needed, if together we can gather enough worthy graphics.

FK has always been a primarily text-based fandom, in part because its heyday came and went on dial-up modems. We just didn't have the technology to share pictures. We've had artists, though! Dorothy E. painted some oil portraits. Ann L. drew the covers on my most beloved Susan G. zines. Almost every zine had some original art (heck, I inked two mediocre graphics for the Tojours Lacroix zine myself — no, seriously, I did! a Fleur portrait and a silhouetted Lacroix with a rose; I still have my original watercolor of the Fleur portrait somewhere, but goodness knows where). Remember the gentleman who drew the Forever Janette webcomic a few years ago? And Deire contributed an N&N illustration to FKFicFest in 2013!

If we could gather enough compelling art links in time, we could volunteer for the month of May, and perhaps raise interest on the way into FKFicFest sign-ups...? Just a thought.
