Why is it that my graphics muse has to kick in so late in the evening when I should be in bed. I feel so inspired right now that I could stay up all night working on graphics. I just made a few icons that I'm really, really proud of and now I must stop and go to bed. You suck muses! Do you hear me???

PS - Unfortunately I cannot share my creations with you for a couple of weeks until the next icon contest is over. :(

Sleep tight all. &hearts

My entries to the last bj icontest at LJ. I'm posting these separately because they come with a warning. If you're 122 sensitive you may want to move along. Don't blame me if you take a look anyway. :D

Hello fandom!

I come bearing icons. Not really new ones....well, new ones to you but not to me. I created most of these weeks ago and I'm just getting around to posting them now. Most of these were crops out of banners I made.

On the work front...we got a two week extension on getting our new client up and running. That's good news and bad news. Good because we have more time to prepare but bad because I'm now looking at another month of work hell. I'm scheduled to work again this weekend which will make 4 weekends in a row. :(


And finally, a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to besamislabios! I'm sorry I haven't had time to create a pretty birthday banner for you. I try to do that for my friends but I've just not had time to keep up with the birthdays. Anyway, I hope you had a wonderful day sweetie!

Now, let's look at a few icons:

*waves*

Glancing through my flist I see a ton of new posts. You ladies have been busy while I've been off working day & night! How will I ever catch up?

I need your help. I need to make nominations for iconics and I don't have the time to look through other's user pics. (Most of my icons are my own) So I ask that you post your most favorite icons here so I can take a gander at them. If you know who made them as well it would be very helpful. I feel like such a slacker but if I don't get some help I won't have any nominations for this time around, and then I'd feel bad. You don't want me to feel bad do you? ;-)

Didn't I just do this three days ago? Are you guys running off and having real lives or what? You need to be on IJ when I'm available!

Let us take a few moments and gaze upon the pretty again.

Here's a couple of images I did a little while back that I'm finally getting around to posting. I swear every time I make something I think "Oooh, I'm gonna put that as a header on my journal...." and then the next thing I make I think the same thing. I now have 3 different banners I want to use as a header. Hmmm....maybe I'll have to post a poll for that as well. It seemed to work out okay with a poll for my default icon. :D

Feedback would be great. It really fuels me with the desire to keep doing more.

I cheated this week. I did theme icons of 'in bed' but only of episode 207 since that's the episode for tomorrow night's discussion at qaf_marathons. Yeah, I really cheated....it's all one scene too. Oh come on....it's a great scene!

I love my current default icon but I'm getting a little bored with it so it's time to switch to a new one. Below the cut are my top picks for a new default icon. Please pick your favorite one to help me decide! Remember, only pick one!

Date: 2008-07-17 20:47 Subject: Theme icons Security: Public Mood: tired Tags: graphics, icons

I really should take a few days break from doing graphics since my tendonitis is flaring up badly. I know, I sound like Xie. I spend all day on my work computer and then spend a couple of hours in the evening playing on my flist or doing graphics. My wrist and hand don't like it! Hmmm...maybe I should just quit my job? ;-)

I'm way behind on reading my flist since I watched a movie last night instead of playing. We watched '50 First Dates'. OMG...this movie is so cute! Drew Barrymore is absolutely adorable in it! I'm not an Adam Sandler fan at all but he was tolerable in this one.

Anyway, my contributions to this week's icon theme.

This was a freaking hard episode to iconize! A lot of the B/J scenes are so dark (or green!) that it makes it almost impossible to make them look good. I deleted about half of what I actually made because they looked so bad. So here's the ones that made the cut....

These are my recent entries for an icon contest, plus alternate versions of some. Feel free to snag if you like any.

Also, I enlarged the banner I posted the other day in case anyone wants it for a desktop background. Since it's too large to post here I uploaded it to yousendit. You can download it here. If you don't know what banner I'm referring to you can find it here. Thanks again for the wonderful feedback you guys gave me on that one. I was thrilled it was such a big hit. &hearts

I've also been working on some 206 icons for tomorrow night's marathon at qaf_marathons. I hope to post them a bit later this evening.

Shit! I was all busy with my banner this evening and forgot about a new icon theme.

Anyone got any requests? Just shout 'em out if you've got one.

It's Gale's birthday today and I totally forgot about it until I signed onto IJ this morning.

What kind of Gale fangirl FORGETS HIS BIRTHDAY? I should have been prepared and put together some amazing picspam but alas I am made of FAIL. :(

Instead I will do a rewind of some of his character portrayals. We had fun with this one the first time around although you'd never know it since this was one of the posts where I lost ALL comments. They were great too!

Gale in all his glory

Happy Birthday Gale! &hearts

Yesterday and today I got to work a semi-normal schedule so I had a little bit of time to make a few icons for this week's theme. These are all from episodes 310 thru 313 because Brian and Justin looked fucking hot in their winter attire. I find Brian's leather selection particularly appealing. Big surprise right?

I know I said I wouldn't have any new graphics because of my work schedule, but it turns out I didn't end up working this weekend like I had anticipated. We have great communication within my company. *insert sarcasm*

I've had one of the most horrendous days ever today and I have no desire or energy left to participate in the marathon tonight. :(

Tomorrow is my 10 year old's birthday. (I've been calling her 10 for a few weeks but she is officially 10 tomorrow.) Anyway, unfortunately I probably won't have a lot of time to enjoy cuddle day because of the whole birthday thing. I have a couple of items I made for it which I'll try to post first thing in the morning before my day turns into chaos again. I wanted to do more but was having inspiration problems.

I just want to take a quick moment to thank everyone for the birthday wishes and e-cards I received today. I love you guys so much! &hearts

And after living my very first day as 40 I've decided it's not so bad after all. My 10 year old thinks I'm a great Mom, my 5 year old still tells me I'm beautiful and my old man continued to grope all the fleshy parts of me today. Not bad for the first day. :D
