Am soooooooooo tired and sickish so no rambling introduction to these. They're simple icons made using art from the sort of cool and sort of annoying t-shirt site threadless. They're basically art icons, much like the various other sets of art icons that I've made. I do consider these icons though they are not fancy; they're meant to simply ( Read more... )

Here are twenty text-only icons using quotes from Eddie Izzard’s comedy shows. Three have been posted before, but the rest are new. I might make more, so if you have a particular favourite line feel free to comment with it.

As always, please comment letting me know which you are taking. It’s all I ask! Credit isn’t necessary; it’s just nice to ( Read more... )

Hey guys!

Here are the results from the last Designer Challenge: Books!

Credit is optional but appreciated, either to the individual designer or to obsessiveicons.

Please comment and tell us which you took (by filename or description; we decided we prefer it when we don't number the icons,) if you do take any ( Read more... )

Under the cut are the results of the first OI Designer Challenge, Some black and white, some color. A great time was had by all, and we'll be doing another one of these in the near future. Keep an eye out for the theme poll!

We had 6 entrants:

Someone passed on a link of vintage produce labels to me. I'm not usually worried about PC stuff, but even I found a lot of these to be pretty racist and/or sexist. But the colours are so pretty! So I made some of the benign ones into icons. And yes, I consider these icons and note bases -- they took a lot of work to make nice, and I can't imagine ( Read more... )

So last night I was playing a computer game when the film noir detective dog and the sociopathic, hyperactive rabbit read several tabloid headlines aloud. My brain exploded into fireworks of inspiration. I went, "YES!" and immediately started on the difficult task of putting together a satisfactory mock-up of a newspaper. Ariel helped me with ( Read more... )

I've been wasting away my summer hours by watching loads of TV. This weekend, at the tail end of a twenty hour marathon of House, M.D, I decided to multitask and do something creative. Namely: icons! Specifically, icons using quotes from some of the episodes that I watched. I suggest taking a peek even if you've never seen the show: they're ( Read more... )

Ty's soon-to-be-husband made a little program for generating icon html and it has revolutionized my life, as is made obvious by the fact that I am posting twice within a few days span. So cool! So handy not to have to do the tedious coding ( Read more... )

It's been a looong time since I've posted anything, so here are a bunch of icons I've made from fairy tale art. I didn't do a very good job of noting the artists every time, but most of the pictures were taken from the SurLaLune Fairy Tales Site or from google image search. The quality isn't as good as I would like it to be for a lot of them, but ( Read more... )

I have seen several different people do sets of Edward Gorey's Gashlycrumb Tinies before, but never to my complete satisfaction. The names were gotten wrong, or the base images were of unacceptable quality, or the format wasn't to my liking. I saw someone on a community using an image from the frontispiece of the book, which reminded me that I have ( Read more... )
