NOTE: All 31 slots are now filled!
Thank you again for your great Richard Armitage pictures and quotes for our previous project. Have you ever noticed how things that are fun or tasty seem to be unhealthy? Well I have to confess that collaborating with you is so enjoyable it should be fattening, LOL!
Last year, I created a Graphic a Day in May. Let’s do it again! Since I’m busier than last year, I’m going to solicit your images on this blog instead of using the Picture of the Day at RichardArmitageNet.Com. I’ll be creating our graphics in bulk closer to the beginning of the month and scheduling them daily.
However, if you didn’t know, you can always request a Picture of the Day to be displayed on RichardArmitageNet.Com for any special event or for no reason at all. All you need to do is send an email as explained on RichardArmitageNet.Com.
Also, RichardArmitageNet.Com is an Amazon Associate. If you order anything from Amazon UK or US through their links, a commission will be donated to one of Richard Armitage’s favorite charities. ♥ Here’s more information: http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/raondvd.html
Let’s get started, shall we? Here’s a Guy of Gisborne siggie I created last year:
If you would be so kind again, I’d appreciate it if you would submit a screencap of Richard Armitage or one of his characters. As an option, it would also be fun if you would include a link to a song to which I can listen while I work. I love to experiment and it will be interesting to see if my thought processes are affected by the music. ♪ ♫ ♫ ♪ ♫
The first 31 submissions will have a graphic created. The higher the quality of the image, the easier it is to work with. I’ll be making siggies, wallpapers and maybe avatars.
Here’s the criteria:
1. Submit one image of a Richard Armitage character or the man himself. Post the link in the comments section below. You can link from your favorite website such as RichardArmitageNet.Com or your own stash on photobucket, imageshack, etc.
2. (Optional) Link to a song you think conveys a certain mood. This link can be to YouTube, SoundCloud, etc. Please list the name of the song in case it’s blocked in my country.
Here’s an example:
2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soJtF3F5t2k “The Con” by Tegan and Sara
If you haven’t played before, please feel free to join in! As the Vicar of Dibley said, “All comers, all welcome!” 😉
Thanks in advance and I’ll see you tomorrow. 😀
EDIT:
P.S. The YouTube videos are automatically embedding so I am manually changing them to links so the page doesn’t take forever to scroll and load. 😀
Yay!!! It’s back!!! I *discovered* RA in late April of last year, and I stumbled onto this blog during last year’s Graphic a Day in May. I really enjoyed it! I’m looking forward to seeing what you come up with this year!
My chosen pic is a promo from Spooks series 7. ♥Love♥ Lucas in his pea coat!!
I do not have a song choice, as you and I have already figured out that our tastes in music are like oil and water. Lmao (Hugs)
@ItsJSforMe: Wow, that is a lovely high-res picture of Lucas North. Mmm, I agree about that pea coat. LOL re: our differing tastes in music. Hmmm, I’ve been listening to a lot of Damien Rice so let’s see how that suits.
Thanks for your contribution! You are #1 in the queue although I may not be posting in order. 😀
I’m surprised you didn’t submit JS. 😉
Gotta change up my responses some times! 😉
This sounds like fun! I love that you’ve requested music too.
Here’s a pic of Richard:

Thanks for letting us contribute. Have a great day!
@Emma: I think it’s going to be fun from the 1st through the 31st! Thanks so much for your contributions. I’ve not heard this music group before. 😀
You are #2 in the queue.
His ears are very elfin-like on this photo,don’t you think? Lovely!
Oh, I missed out on this last year. Another fabby idea bccmee. ☺
Difficult to choose a pic but settled on this one, John Porter of course!
http://richardarmitagecentral.co.uk/v/Salon/John+Porter+Hi+Quality/John+Porter+Hi+Quality+Episode+3+-+Afghanistan/vlcsnap-00143.png.html?
And my choice of song is one of my all time favourites, Habanera from Bizet’s Carmen. Hope you enjoy it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dutx8qQ9qfE
@magwi: Yay for John Porter! Wow interesting music choice. I really enjoy it when I go to the opera but I have to confess I’ve not seen that movie from 1984.
You are #3 in the queue. 😀
3rd in queue. Yay! Well done me.
As I say, I love this song…where Carmen explains how love cannot be tamed.
“The bird you thought you had caught
beat its wings and flew away …
love stays away, you wait and wait;
when least expected, there it is!”
@magwi: I really enjoyed listening to that song as I worked! Your graphic is complete. 😀
This thing shot me off twice so I imagine my previous submission is gone with the wind. Again, with no further delay here I go: Picture from Lucas North (have I mentioned I love Lucas?)
and song “Bring me to life” — Evanescence
http://youtu.be/3YxaaGgTQYM
@Ana Cristina: Thanks for your persistence! I checked my spam filter and you had not gotten stuck there so I’m not sure where your original comments landed, LOL! Maybe New Zealand. 😉

Can I be #19 in th queue ? *sheepish look* because May 19th is my birthday and I’d love to see what you’ve done with this picture on that day 🙂
@thefrencharmitagearmy: Most excellent choices, thank you! Yes, I will post your graphic on May 19. I’m delighted you asked and I wish you a very happy birthday month.
Yours is the 12th request although your graphic will be posted on the 19th. 😀
Thank you 🙂 I can’t wait to see what you’ll prepare for us !
Looked at what has been submitted so far and there is no N&S so here we go:
http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/nands/album/episode3/slides/ns3-189.html
And the song, Sting’s Mad About You. It has a line in it “Never in my life have I felt more alone than I do now”. Maybe John is feeling a like that looking out the window at Margaret.
The song on YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDvkOwmE2ZU
Hope this helps!
@Kathleen: I love that dreamy North & South screencap and I’ve always wondered whose tongue prints are on the window glass. Are they on the inside or the outside? 😉 That’s a great choice of song and thanks for pointing out the lyrics!
You are #13 in the queue. 😀

You are #16 in the queue. 😀
Hi B, can’t believe it’s a year since the Graphic A Day In May!
Here’s my suggestion –
Can’t think of a song, so I’ll leave that to you!
@smitkit: Ah the lovely John Porter is music to my eyes, LOL! Thanks so much for your contribution. Where has that year gone anyway? Hope the next 7 months pass quickly too.
You are #17 in the queue. 😀
Oh thanks B. I was ‘toying’ with Sir Guy (so to speak), but decided to go with JP.
Yes, only 7 months to wait for the Hobbit – remember when it was over two years! Oh, and yesterday (30th) was the sixth anniversary of the first broadcast of the Impressionists in the UK – where’s that time gone?!
Well …. here’s Ricky.
http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/georgegently/GGPromo/album/slides/GG04.html
And the song I’m picking for your listening pleasure is Bathtime by Tindersticks
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmgOyJhxxVg
@beengizzied: A worthy choice. Black leather and a white scarf. Thanks for the funky song and image. Can’t wait to see what comes out of this!
You are #18 in the queue. 😀
Hi Bccmee,
I bring John http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/nands/album/episode3/slides/ns3-189.html
and one of my favourite “mood correcting” songs – it is What is love by Haddaway http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1LG5E55II8&feature=fvst. I wonder how much of this arises, because your work never ceases to amaze me and entertain me. So have a nice day!
@Pospíšková Irena: Thanks for your image and song! By the way, someone else posted this exact same screencap from North & South if you want to submit another picture. You will not lose your place in line, LOL!
You are #19 in the queue. 😀
Oh, I beg your pardon, so I chose this one http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/nands/album/episode2/slides/ns2-278.html – could it be? Thanks
@Pospíšková Irena: Thanks very much for a lovely alternative image! Look at his eyelashes there! ♥
You are still #19 in the queue. 😀
This is my first attempt at this, so hopefully I did it right. Every time I see this picture it just cracks me up because he looks like he’s having way too much fun.
http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/Richard/Promos/2003%20Promo/slides/2003_ra24.html
As for the song the only one that came to mind was “You Should Be Dancing” by the Bee Gees
http://youtu.be/_JoZS6LgqYI
Holliday
@Holliday: Haha, that’s a great combination, thanks! Yes, you did it perfectly right! *applause* *dancing*
You are #20 in the queue. 😀
Yippee!!!
Oh, this is going to be such a wonderful month! Thanks for another great collaboration project, B!
I can’t get enough of this picture:
http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/Richard/Promos/ProjectMagJuly2011/album/slides/MattHolyoak-11.html
And this is the first song that it made me think of:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnHoqHscTKE&ob=av3n
@IngeD3: Ah the beard! ♥ Thank you for that. I am very excited about this project and have finished 3 graphics so far. Your video is blocked in my country but luckily the title is visible so I was able to find an available version.
You are #21 in the queue. 😀
IngeD3, my son introduced me to Nick Cave’s music. I’m not too keen on a lot of his stuff, it’s quite dark, but I love this song, and the vid is beautiful. 🙂
You’ve done something with my suggestion already? My goodness you’re dedicated!. Thanks bccmee. I am so excited and looking foward to seeing the final results. ♥x♥
PS Glad you liked my song choice.
Okay, here is my picture: http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/RobinHood/album/seasonone/episode7/slides/rh107_109.html

@trlibhart: Awesome choices, thanks! Yes, the video works perfectly.
You are #22 in the queue. Hey that rhymes! 😀
YAY!!! I made the queue! I don’t know what to do! So I guess I’ll wait on you to do that thing that you do!! (Oh yes! I’m so poetic!!) 🙂
Hi Bccmee,
I know I’m late, but I’ve been offline all day. So in case this makes your list, here are my choices:
1) The delectable Harry Kennedy (I love him even with that horizontal striped sweater on him. Ha!): http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/VOD/album/VOD1/slides/vod1-043.html
2) Song choice (I have to go with an angieklong vid on this one):
When Harry Met Gerri : A Vicar of Dibley Fanvid (Richard Armitage)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Il1jm_9p3X8
Cheers! Grati ;->
@Gratiana: Aha, you’ve contributed our first Harry Kennedy screencap. He’s still a favorite Richard Armitage character of mine! ♥

Here’s the image:
http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/Specials/album/BAFTA2010/album/slides/TonyBAFTApic3.html
And the song choice is “Unforgettable” by Nat King Cole which is so apt seeing how RA has taken up permanent residence in my brain:

@pamsingh: Thanks for your picture and song choice! Yes, you made it in time.

I can’t think of a song at the moment so can I get back to you with one? Thanks! 🙂
@Mezz: Thanks for your Claude Monet image! That’s the first Monet pic of the challenge. The song is optional, so I’m glad you got your image submitted as that’s the most important.
You are #25 in the queue. 😀
Here’s my song choice bcc: Norah Jones “Sunrise”. I’m happy to make it into the queue!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd02pGJx0s0&ob=av2e
If you want to substitute something else go for it! I realize Norah isn’t to everyone’s
taste! 🙂
@Mezz: Actually I like Norah Jones. 😀 And even if I didn’t, I would still listen during the making of the graphic because it’s a fun experiment. Thanks so much for finding a song!
🙂
Hope I can squeeze in!
I just felt like a nice smiley pic 🙂
http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/Richard/Interviews/Lorraine-17Sep10/slides/Lorraine_037.html
