Maybe with the silhouette of a man and a bird. Something very graffi-esque, like the "Che" shirts you'll see people wear. I've often thought of making (or, since I'm not that artist, having someone make) shirts like this to take to a sci-fi convention. They could be complimented with "Severian for Autarch" shirts, though it doesn't quite have the same ring. I know someone a while back posted a "Silk for Calde" bumpersticker pattern. -Steve --- ### Stuart Hamm *14 Jan 2009, 19:12 · in reply to Stephen Case* I'd buy a couple..Witz??? ????

Now you've tempted me to design an image for it. I'd imagined silhouette as well, but since you mentioned Che, I'm tempted to put some facial details in there. I picture Silk to look like that actor Hugh Laurie. I've never seen his show or watched him act, but I've seen his mug. anyone have an other suggestions? on that note, maybe we should start a "fantasy casting" thread. I've been casting actors from all ages into the roles of BotNS. Since my motives are for illustrations and not a movie (*shudder*) I've been casting from any era. I'd be interested in what others would think, though it should be it's own thread I suppose. As a teaser, I'll say I like a young Sigourney Weaver as Thecla and an OLD Clint Eastwood as Malrubius. ~sonofwitz --- ### Matthew Groves *15 Jan 2009, 00:15 · in reply to Son of Witz* > On Wed, Jan 14, 2009 at 1:13 PM, Son of Witz wrote: > I'd imagined silhouette as well, but since you mentioned Che, I'm tempted > to put some facial details in there. > I picture Silk to look like that actor Hugh Laurie.

Someone young, slender, and very fair.

Keanu does come to mind, but I'd have to reject him on principle :D and he's already been cast as a messiah. I don't watch movies or tv enough to be good at this though. I can only think of household name actors. ~witz --- ### hammstu at sbcglobal.net *15 Jan 2009, 01:08 · follows Son of Witz* A young Jimmy Stewart as Silk??? ------Original Message------ From: Son of Witz Sender: urth-bounces at lists.urth.net To: The Urth Mailing List ReplyTo: The Urth Mailing List > Sent: Jan 14, 2009 4:30 PM > Subject: Re: (urth) Silk for Calde! > -----Original Message----- > From: Matthew Groves [mailto:matthewalangroves at gmail.com] > On Wed, Jan 14, 2009 at 1:13 PM, Son of Witz wrote: >> I'd imagined silhouette as well, but since you mentioned Che, I'm tempted >> to put some facial details in there. >> I picture Silk to look like that actor Hugh Laurie.
