Spanish collectors card by Chocolates Amatller, Barcelona, in the 'Artistas de cine' series, no. 20: Hoot Gibson. Image: Martinez Surroca.
Hoot Gibson (1892-1962) was a rodeo champion and pioneering cowboy star of silent Westerns. With his easy combination of light, breezy, boyish charm comedy and riding abilities, Hoot filled a gap between the austere William S. Hart and the flamboyant Tom Mix and appealed both to adults (especially women) and kids. During the 1920s, he was one of the most popular children's matinée heroes, ranking second only to Mix, and one of Universal's top-paid stars. In his real life, however, he had an expensive love for fast cars, motorcycles, and airplanes and lead a rather painful rags-to-riches-and-back-to-rags career.
Funny - A Hoot

Another of the colorful characters from last weekends workshop with the raptors common to northwest ohio. This is the Great Horned Owl. An interesting fact about this owl: the large tufts of feather you see on the top of his head are not actually his ears. The ears are quite a bit lower than his ears and layered over by feathers. Cool huh!?
For this Darling Baby Quilt I used Riley Blake’s Hooty Hoot fabrics. Without a doubt these are the cutest little boy prints ever!
For my fifth niece, who will be here in December! :) quiltyhabit.blogspot.com/2013/10/hoot-finished-baby-quilt...
Hoot has been my favorite find for some time now. He sits proudly in the piano window, keeping an eye on the kitchen.

Metal owl-shaped napkin holder that's currently taking up space on the window sill (with the rooster napkin holder). Photoshop fun. Digital photo. (2009)
This beautiful barred owl didn't make it easy for me to capture a portrait. Every time he saw my camera he would look away. Still love this. I could've stared at him for hours.
Don't know if it's a real tartan, I'm not too up on them. Royal Stuart maybe? There's no maker's name on them but I hear they were made by Bantel and were in the 1950's Brown Brothers cycling catalogue. On my 1935 Flying Scot in original paintwork.
I don't usually buy old toys unless they are old enough to have glass eyes but this one looks so put out I think he is funny.
#145 in Explore on April 25th, 2009! Thanks everyone!!
Today was pretty much the first day this spring that actually felt warm with no chill in the air so we decided to do a little road trip to the Valley to Oaklawn Farm Zoo. We first had to stop in to the Grand Opening at Henry's Photography in Bayers Lake to try our luck with their gift certificate give away and then we were off to the Zoo!!
This little guy is a Barred Owl (thanks rwkphotos). This is one of the better shots that I got as I was able to get right up next to the cage so there were no bars obstructing the shot. As I was pretty happy with the original shot, this is pretty much SOOC except for some exposure correction and sharpening before adding the border which was all done in CS3.
Hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend!!
Tea T-owl is a very British owl, featuring traditional tea-time treats and a chequered tea towel background. The owl’s big, saucer-like eyes are perfect for tea-time biscuits.

Sponsor: Wild in Art
Auction Price: £6000
The Big Hoot captured the imagination of everyone in Birmingham and beyond, with hundreds of thousands of people taking to the streets with their Big Hoot Trail maps to explore the colourful invasion of individually designed owls. Taking in the city’s 10 districts, tourists and residents alike enjoyed their owl adventure, discovering and celebrating the extraordinary creativity produced by many of Birmingham’s artistic community and over 25,000 young people.
The Big Hoot owls went under the hammer on 15 October 2015 at The Big Hoot auction sponsored by Vodafone and we are thrilled to have smashed our target by raising the incredible sum of £508,035!
The money raised from the auction will support Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity’s £3.65m Star Appeal. This appeal will enable us to create a first of its kind, a Rare Diseases Centre in the UK specifically for children. It will provide co-ordinated care, treatment, support and most importantly hope to children and families living with a rare or undiagnosed condition.
In addition the auction raised £15,000 for G’owl’d by Temper with proceeds going to Edward’s Trust, and £7,800 for Fleet and Free with proceeds going to Birchfield Harriers.
So thank you - we simply couldn’t have done it without you.
Artists have played a major role in The Big Hoot, creating almost 100 owl sculptures. We would like to thank all the artists for their incredible creativity and hard work.
Professional artists from Birmingham, the wider Midlands region and further afield have created extraordinary giant owls that are all unique in style and character and represent the city’s creativity, history and heritage, music, fashion, architecture and attractions.
Birmingham is home to a wealth of artistic and creative individuals and communities and many award-winning and nationally and internationally acclaimed artists. We are delighted with the response from Birmingham’s creative community and are thrilled to work in collaboration with them to transform the streets, squares and parks of the city.
For five months artists have been creating owls in their studios, at home and in The Big Hoot Artists’ Studio at the Custard Factory in Digbeth. Their inspiring and innovative designs have been realised in genres including graffiti, illustration, fine art, graphics, typography, mosaic and new media. They have worked with both community groups and with corporates to realise ideas and create their stunning designs.
The Big Hoot not only provides a high quality and ambitious free public event for families but also supports the creativity of artists and celebrates talent and diversity. The Big Hoot has provided an inspiring relationship between the city and the arts.
The artists have also reached out to communities enabling more people to participate in the arts, to experience working with professional artists and to be inspiring and inspired. From the north to the south of the city residents groups, youth groups and older peoples’ groups have been collaborating with artists to generate ideas, design and create owls for The Big Hoot.
Creativity is everywhere but the opportunity to participate is not. A range of activities have been programmed within Birmingham’s diverse communities and people from the age of 3 – 97 and from wards within the city boundaries have contributed to The Big Hoot and helped make the event extraordinary. Our projects have seen artists working with hundreds of residents and community members including children in looked after care, older peoples’ clubs, young people and residents organisations to design and decorate the owls displayed as part of the 10 week public event.
