Now I am here, and not there. Because of the reason you'd expect.

I'll probably not post here, either, but I was still reading an awful lot over there. I'm sure I'll sort out how to read most of it over here, now. Or find new things to read.

Comment to be added.

Current Music: wouldn't you like to know?

I've just made a rather large friends cut. As always, making a friends cut seems bitchy, but in transitioning this to a personal journal I have to do what will make me comfortable talking about personal things here.

Since this account will be friends only except for icon posts from now on, if you've been cut and you want to continue to read my posts, you can comment asking to be added again, but I really can't promise anything. Even if that makes me bitchy.

School things and new job things are completely scary and overwhelming right now, so this post can also serve as an announcement that you shouldn't expect to see me around much for at least a couple of weeks. I'll probably still be reading my flist, because that's one of my primary forms of relaxation and entertainment, but posting or commenting, not so much.

So,

msmoocow reminded me the other day that I haven't posted any icons in a long time. I checked, and I really haven't; I've especially neglected to post the icons I make for contests over at

obsessiveicons (contests now hosted at

oicontests).

So, behind the cut you will find 43 icons made for various OI contests, including some award winners!

Samples:

( Iconses, precious! )

Despite the unseasonal weather, I figured it was about time for some winter and holiday icons:

( All 20 under the cut )

Here's the finished batch of icons for

icon_roulette. Unlike the previous set, there's no one unifying theme here, nor any fandom icons.

Since the summer icons seemed to be popular, I've made a few autumn/fall icons for the new season:

I also had a couple of foliage scenes that it was just wrong to crop so dramatically, so I made a couple of 800x400 banners, suitable for an LJ or something else, I dunno.

( Two Banners )

There's been another icontest come and gone over at

obsessiveicons, in which I was lucky enough to get this:

The theme for this contest was artificially colored landscapes, and I made an unusually large number of icons and bases as I tried to come up with two icons to enter in the contest.

( 41 icons behind the cut )

Just a few icons for the new season:

Current Mood: lethargic
Current Music: Libertines - Don't Look Back Into the Sun

I've got quite the backlog of icons I've made for the contests over at

obsessiveicons. You can only submit two per contest, but I always like to make (lots) more than that so that I have plenty to choose from.

( More icons )

Excitement! For the first time (but hopefully not the last) I have won one of the categories in an

obsessiveicons contest! Here is my icon:

Image hosting by Photobucket

It won "Best Use of Text". Go me!

Current Mood: satisfied

The weather here today was so nice that I have declared it spring here on my LJ! That means new (bright) colors and some spring icons:

( More )

So I keep on making icons, but I'm usually not inspired enough to create a whole set, just one or two or three, as the mood strikes me. I've also started participating in

obsessiveicons' contests, for which I usually make six or so icons before deciding on the two I want to submit. I thought I'd just post a collection of icons of that sort all together here, so they're in one place.

Teasers:

( I honestly think I have sea-longing )

So it's 1:30 AM and I should be grading my students' one-page summaries so I can return them tomorrow. So what am I actually doing? Making icons, of course!

( I blame the weather. )

So I made a slew of icons based on Jubilate Agno by Christopher Smart, the poem from which my 'which is the largest Tunny' is taken.

( Get your icons based on the ravings of a lunatic here! )
