Number 12!!! So gorgeous. Also 6 and 17. I love these.

[happy_harper13]

Thank you so much! That means a lot to me :D I was way worried that 17 would look like a copy (albeit nowhere near as brilliantly executed) of one of your icons, I think from your Apollo batch. And I had no idea if 12 would look good or just like a mess. Thanks so much for your super kind words!

Nah, definitely not! It's gorgeous, and totally doesn't look like any of my icons (to me, at least, lol).

Beautiful work 4 and 18 are my favs!

[happy_harper13]

Thanks so much! I was really worried about both of those, and it's really reassuring to hear that they worked. Thanks so much for stopping by with such kind words :)

OKAY. NOW I 100% NEED TO WATCH THE WIRE THIS SUMMER. These are super fabulous :)

[happy_harper13]

YES YOU DO! It is amazing. Seriously, IMO, the Mona Lisa can get in line because the Wire is the greatest work of art ever. It makes me believe in the power of art. Also, it reps the DMV.

I have been meaning to watch FOREVER but I know it's a commitment so I keep putting it off.

[happy_harper13]

Aw :( It's sad when TV shows feel like commitments.

These are so lovely! 5, 12, and 13 are so pretty. I ADORE the cropping of 15, and 6 and 7 are so creative. Awesome job!!

Thank you so, so much! Your Wire entry was totally one of my other inspirations. It was like, 'See! Pretty Wire icons are possible.' Also, just staring at your Bubbles icon makes me so happy. I just heard his awesome interview with Andre Royo the other day and he is such a cool dude. I also really, really appreciate how specific your comment is. It's super useful.

Also, this post seriously would never have been possible without you because I had no idea about magich0urs cap collection until you mentioned it. Seriously, that was such a lifesaver and I am still pretty much drooling over those galleries and zips.

Oh wow, thank you so much! I'm glad I could inspire such awesomeness. :D Oh and Andre Royo is just coolest person. I read an interview with him where he said at one point during filming The Wire, a junkie came up to him to offer some drugs, as he said Andre looked like he really needed it, LOL.

Yesss that archive was awesome! I don't even remember how I stumbled upon it but it was such a great find. Happy to help! :D

Ah! I think I remember hearing that in a radio interview! I'm always so surprised by how genuinely awesome the actors from the Wire are. Where was this interview of which you speak?

[bitterbird]

these are really cool, you did a great job of these :)

[happy_harper13]

Thank you so much! That means a lot to me!
