Iconography

First off, there's a new page of ACOS.

Secondly, gackt from [livejournal.com profile] violetsquirrel, descriptions of x(1-H(x-10))+H(x-10)(*) of my icons chosen at random.

I kind of see my icon as an extension of myself, so only use ones I've made myself (some using other peoples materials as a base). I'd feel really wierd if someone else used one of my "identity" icons (the first two), the others would be ok (ok, I'd be super flattered).

This is a very small part of a page of Digger, now behind a subscription wall. I had spent some time looking for The Perfect Icon and the moment I saw this little flying temple mouse I knew it was it.

I drew this picture as a stand-in until I found The Perfect Icon. As you probably know, "sqbr" stands for "square bear", my sometime nickname.

This was originally going to be a comic, but I thought it would be fun to make an animated icon, though I never use it.

This is a parody/homage (I both like it and think it's overdone :)) of the ubiquitous lj-icon style, I used this tutorial to get the style and took the nonsensical poem from Kleenex.

This was originally t-shirt design, but when I saw [livejournal.com profile] nico_wolfwood had used it on her AMV homepage I was inspired to make an icon. Specially given that I do so like my copyright infringement :) For anyone who doesn't know, part of the joke here is that all Calvin and Hobbes paraphenalia (apart from the books) is copyright infringment.


(*)I may have gotten this wrong, but couldn't help myself :) Anyway: if you have less than 11 icons, do them all, otherwise choose 10 at random.

It's a wonder no actual country uses it. But no, mostly just a bunch of boring old lines and crosses.

I always thought sqbr was "square bracket", 'cos you're mathsy... and yeah. Bears are cool too.

Some people think it's a misspelling of spqr :)
