Theo Astley

Theo Astley
In the spirit of the great Rick Rolls... this is a few seconds of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" video with our Theo bobbing on top (a bit too high, I admit - suggestive of a really long neck, but a necessity because of Rick's really big hair in the original)... I have to admit that this is not my idea; it was a friend who suggested the juxtaposition. For use in later videos (and indeed still pictures), that same friend painstakingly digitised a chin for Theo, which definitely opened the door to more creative endeavours, and avoided the issue of the 'ghostly third hand' seen here. But here, it's a decently creepy thing indeed (and here we are at Hallowe'en), and I think gives it a certain charm.

A Huge Evergrowing Pulsating Theo

A Huge Evergrowing Pulsating Theo

My first experiment with using Adobe Flash to create a 'moving Theo', this one isn't really parodying anything at all, actually. It's just an endless succession of Theos being born in the right eye of other Theos, which sounds very Greek-Mythology to me.

Hello Theo


Hello Theo

What Theo Huxtable might look like if he was hoping to be a mainstay in the fashion habits of Japanese teenage girls...

Of course, perhaps he is. I've never been to Japan, after all, and a nation filled with girls wearing Theo Huxtable creates a lovely image in my head.

Baby Theo


Baby Theo

Theo as he might have looked when he was still small enough for Claire to hold him in her arms, when Rudy and Vanessa were just twinkles in those 80s urban professionals' eyes...

Aw shucks wasn't he cute... this was also a website whose address I've forgotten that does all the dirty work itself, electronically. Ain't those zeroes and ones grand?
