Uncovering the gems of Terry Gilliam's personal archive - from pre-Python days through Python to his feature films and beyond...

Discovery of the day: 19 July 2012
Came across these tiny cut-out pieces for the opening titles of Monty Python's Flying Circus. Hand drawn, hand painted and hand cut-out by Mr Gilliam himself!
Some years ago, when I was avidly collecting everything Python, I spoke to a guy who had slides of all the FC cutouts. He got them for some production, and later had them scanned to (digital) files. I still have his email and phone number if you're interested (easy for quick reference for example).
It probably isn't wise to post his contact information here, but if you send me an email (themontypythonmuseum at gee ml. dot com) I will let you know.
Lol those roses are famous unto themselves!
