no banner, no problem. I'll design one for you, custom. Post my art on your site. I'll be selling prints if there is an interest. For now, it's new. It's exciting. I't's Boop! Images you haven't seen because I haven't made em yet! Just another electronic experiment in art. |
Betty Boop, besides being an American Icon, is a copyrighted figure. King Features holds the copyright on Betty and the Max Fleischer stable of cartoons. Check out the new "Official Betty Boop Site " |
ClickThank you Mae, for sending me the following award. Visit Mae at "My Bad Betty Boop". She has a really neat site, however be warned, Bad Betty can be naughty, so some pages should only be visited by interested adults. |

June 08, 2005 Another year passes, and it's time to add a few new images to the old Betty Boop Pages. I've actually completed three rather detailed composites today utilizing photos of the Danbury Mind Collectibles and my own photography for the most part. I also added some new composites to the Feature Section. As I get better with the program. (And I did the first composites for this part of the website, back in 1999) I find I like to combine elements from my own photographs, and even take some photos with compositing in mind. I may be slow with additions to Betty's paradise here, but the additions are always somethings special, and unlike any other Boop images still available all over the web. Betty is still popular, and I'm waiting for them to release a complete set of the cartoons on DVD. June 13th, 2004 I t is difficult to realize that the Betty Boop composites featured on this part of my website are among my very first back in 2001. The composites are now using mostly my own photography. The Boop Figurines are taken from one of the Photos in the "Boops in the Bedroom and Media Room" folder on Webshots, which gets a lot of hits, and is an introduction to the "Betty Boop Museum" in my bedroom and media room in my house. "The Boop Museum" is where I have displayed all the porcelain dolls and the figurines which show up in the composites. October 19th, 2003 (evening) There you have it! I've been booping all day. I'm pretty proud of the BoopVampirella, even thought it's a Frazetta with Betty's head, Astro Boy (in the same pose, almost,) my ghostly head, and a few Cooties, which are my own artwork created in Window Draw and pasted here. The Feature Pages have lots of new art, captured images from the Cartoons themselves, colorized images, and some early composites which have been off the website for a while. All this in a day. I'm happy. I'm back online. Betty has been updated. And all is well. For now. October 19th, 2003 It is now exactly (give or take a week or two) one year since I saw fit to update this section of the website. One long year. The hits keep coming. People keep signing the guestbook. I have recently received email from someone who mentioned the bad links. I am attempting to get rid of them. When I transferred some of my website from DirecTV internet when they went out of business, I think I left some of the Dreamweaver pages (and possibly some composite art) on my old computer. I will have to find those pages, which included some of the Betty Riders artwork, and create some new pages for that artwork. It's been a while, as usual, but I decided to put some new art work up for Hallowe'en. I am inspired this week by Rita, who has probably the BEST original artistic Betty Boop website out there. I recently visited her wonderful website and expressed my astonishment and excitement upon viewing her "original" images. She wrote me to tell me she was inspired by this site! My new images, inspired in turn by Rita, are not merely "composites". As I get better with the Picture Publisher program, I'm trying some new things. Betty's head, above, was "drawn" in an illustrating program, also by Micrografx, called Windows Draw, and although the legs are composited from a photo, the blouse was "painted" in "virtual oils" in Picture Publisher. There are only two images so far like this, because it took quite a few hours to get the right look. Hope you like them. And I will always put up more as I make 'em. June 26th, 2002 While recuperating from a particular nasty stomach flu, I stayed home from work and decided to knock off a couple of Betty composites, since this site gets so many hits, yet I only update it every three months or so. Oh well, These are prime examples stolen from the web, from Mary's Club photo archives, and all stuck together wirh various art and graphics programs, specifically the always handy Picture Publisher, March 24th, 2002 I can't believe it's been since January and I'm just now updating this section. The Betty Boop Pages will be a special link to a new section I created on The Cultural Blender. The new section details the blending of the artform of animation, and the Fleischer Studios were creating cartoons from the beginning, nearly ten years before Disney. Although this is more of an "art" site than a history site, I do talk about some of the significant influences that Max and Dave Fleischer created in new essays in the Cartoons Section of the Blender. Jan. 31st, 2002 Wha? It'z February already???? I just put up the dang Chrismas pictures and now there's another holiday Betty celebrates. And what a holiday it is. Valentine's Day and Betty Boop are a perfect match, and I've been inspired, while putting together my new LOVESEARCH QUEST page on AllThingsMike, to celebrate Betty's involvement in Valentine's Day by featuring some new images. Just click on Roller Betty over there to the left for Betty's Valentine's to you. Also, I'm finally getting around to putting Crazy Mary's award presented to this site, but not displayed, in December. Thank you so very much, Mary!!! Dec. 20th, 2001 Well, the Betty Pages Christmas page with four new composites is finally ready less than a week before Christmas. I'll feature the link to the new Betty Pages Feature Page here and on the Club. Two of the images are on the AllThingsMike Christmas Page for which the link is in the entry for Dec. 15 below. Two were just completed about 15 minutes ago. There are also a couple of Betty Boop Coca Cola images scanned in from the Danbury Mint and The Lighter Side catalogs that I plan to feature soon. This section, which basically mimics the diary entries on ElectricPoetry will be continued in whole for now on the Features Page and will be truncated here. So Enjoy the new Betty Art from Michael F. Nyiri on the Feature Page. ........................................ 1999 The Betty Boop Pages are born on AllThingsMike Betty Boop has always held a fascination for me. From the days of my childhood, lying in front of our 19" black and white television, watching the original black and white cartoons, to high school, where I began celebrating the Queen of the Cartoons by using her as an icon, to the very first collectibles, and finally to the Danbury Mint collection, which will probably never be finished, because Betty is as popular now as she ever was. I celebrate Betty Boop and the cartoon studios of Max and Dave Fleischer here in these pages. This is my addition to Betty Boop's corner of the web. I know that there are lots of Betty Boopabelia sites out there. I've visited you all. In fact, I wasn't going to include Sweet Betty at first. Then, almost as if by default, I had put a jpeg image on the front page, then linked to this page, and to the photos of some of the Danbury Mint collectibles. I have just finished taking some video shots of some more of the colllectibles, and intend importing them into different backgrounds as computer composites. There will also be some notable images which I downloaded from the web, and some of the original cartoons will be featured. Betty is an icon, all right, the first lady of American Cartoons. And it's a good thing she didn't remain a dog. |

Every time I visit The Betty Boop Pages I'm more than thrilled that the hit counter keeps advancing rapidly, surprising me with the most hits of any of my websites (At least until Homestead inadvertenly erased something like 9000 hits.. Also people keep signing the guest book, and I truly believe this little site might just mean something to more than a couple of people. To those of you, I would like to take this opportunity to give a ltlle note of thanks. Thank you for visiting, and thank God that there are those of us who idolize and revere a "cartoon icon" first drawn in the early 20's. who, although she hasn't made a cartoon since her cameo in Roger Zemeckis' "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?", is still a vital part of our history, and a standard bearer for our dreams. Here's to Betty, and here's to you visitors, thank you for your existence, and your purpose in this world. |
