| It seems a bit precious to keep a gallery of Flea art. The main reason for doing it is insurance against a hard-drive crash at home. But I also think it a good idea to keep track of what I have been up to stylin'-wise. That is something close to the original banner above. The button is modelled on the first Flea button ever, a gift from ***Dave. |

| Something close to the original banner. The blog title over at BlogSpot started with a "the"... a particle of speech which is faithful to William Blake painting after which the blog is named but which is confusing to alphabetize. This unused goth flea-banner was the last echo of the the. |
| The gothic flavour of that unused banner emerged as the first flea-banner at ghostofaflea.com following the Dean Esmay blog exodus to MT. Two of the first slogans make their appearance around this time. |

| Pre-Raphaelite Week at the Flea was the second dedicated week in the new magazine format (after Jane Seymour week). This was the first time the Flea got a make-over for a special event. The next banner down was intended for an all fiction week which was pre-empted by the black-out. |
| The Flea Signal is a reader favourite judging by mail and comments. It is my favourite too and I like to keep it in action for individual entry archives. |

| Gone with the Flea Week was meant to mark a transition into a staggered blogging schedule for start of term. That did not last... so I decided not to use the banner. |
| This one was for Talk Like a Pirate Day 2003. |
| Breakfast at the Flea Week was a shameless excuse to show pictures of Audrey Hepburn for a few days. The Tiffany window button got me thinking about the Bleat-ish possibilities of PhotoShop for the Flea. |

| No particular reason... I just wanted a Bond-themed background. The button above never made it to the site. |
| Decor for Underground Week at the Flea was straight-forward to produce as I could rely on the Underground's famous roundel, map and New Johnston font. |
| More Kylie-buttons and a Flea-first animated Cylon .gif. |

| A variety of Flea banners. Blade Runner and Alien are always useful. The Alpha/fish logo is an unused banner for the Christmas holiday season of 2003. I decided putting the word "ghost" in that context might be taken the wrong way... I opted for an angel instead. Finally, Kylie ushers in the New Year of 2004. |

| Some Canadian content. The RCMP are Canadian icons. The men who stormed Juno Beach are Canadian heroes. |
| New Harry Potter and Batman films inspired some animation. |
| Some texture lifted from the sinister mirrored mask of Vidocq. |

| My second attempt at animation is a bandwidth monster and only made a brief appearance. |
