Monty Python Coloring book

These images are the results of an idea I had a while back. I decided to make some Monty Python images that members of Pythonline could print out for their children or themselves (or anyone else they know who might enjoy such things)to color.

I chose a few photos and opened them in an image editor and then I used a sketch filter to make them look like pencil drawings (in some editors certain edge filters, pen filters, pencil filters or charcoal filters can be used for a similar effect).

Instructions:

1: click on the image you want to print out.
2: Print out the image
3: color the image using any colors you want with crayons or markers or pencils
or anything else you want to use.

Enjoy.

As for fans of Carol Neil and Connie (of which I'm also one:) but Gilliam and Michael are my favorites) don't worry I haven't forgotten about them. I will be adding images of them to color later on. The images I've posted so far are just to get us started and I'll be adding new images from time to time.

If after printing out any of these images and coloring them if anyone wants to post them in this thread I'd love to see them.

By the way if anyone has any requests for images for me to add to our Python Coloring book please let me know by posting them in this thread and asking me to add them. The images will need to be non-blurry images with no noise and as little shadow as possible.

I've also included a slide show of the images that I had already colored (I don't have a scanner so I had to use a graphics editor to color the images that I've included in the slide-show. Images that are printed colored and then scanned into the computer will probably look better). If you want to see the slide show just click on the image that says "Monty Python Coloring Book"

Edit: I've now added an image of Carol Cleveland, enjoy :) (August 31)
Edit2: An image of Connie and an image of Neil have been added now. (September 1)
Edit3: I've added 2 more images. Dennis Moore (which is my favorite Python Sketch) and Michael and Connie from the Lumberjack Sketch (which is among my favorite python sketches). (September 5)
Edit4: Added new images one from Life of Brian, a group photo, an image from The dead parrot sketch (I couldn't leave that on out) and an image from the Spanish Inquisition. (September 10)
Edit5: I've added two Holy Grail images. (November 29)

Perry: Truly a brilliant idea. Great work here. I think that there are going to be a lot of people printing them out and using them either to keep themselves or their children busy. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry to hear you don't have a printer but perhaps a friend of your will let you use his or hers so you can print them out.
