Once and The Frames [Jul. 29th, 2006|05:49 pm]
[Tags|, , ]
[Current Location |Lewisville, NC, USA]
[mood | pleased]
[music |The Frames - Santa Maria]

So, apparently I lied in that last post. Or maybe not since I haven't posted any graphics of any kind for more than a year. Strangely enough, I still get comments here from people taking icons, and that makes me smile. I just don't take this all that seriously anymore, but knowing that people enjoy what I do makes me happy.

In any case, it seems that the way to get me to make icons again is to post some lovely photos from David Cleary. These icons are all from his photos and include stills from the new independent film "Once" by John Carney and assorted photos of The Frames from over the years. Enjoy!

Batman Begins Icons [Jun. 23rd, 2005|10:07 pm]
[mood | tired]

This will be the last post with icons in this journal. The next post will just point to my site, where I will continue posting graphics, and my blog, where I will be announcing those updates. As noted before, my blog has a syndicated feed at [info]gnomeblog, should any of you wish to follow me there. :-)

I've made all posts in this journal public and removed everyone from my friends list to facilitate the move.

And now, I give you 15 icons and a wallpaper from Batman Begins.



We all fear what we don't understand )


800 x 600 + 1024 x 768
1280 x 960 + 1280 x 1024
1600 x 1200 + 1920 x 1200

A Load of Icons and an Announcement [Jun. 14th, 2005|10:24 pm]
[mood | tired]
[music |Enemy at the Gates OST]

You won't know what hit your screen when I get done tonight. I have icons for Kingdom of Heaven, The Lion in Winter (the original one), The Hours, and Mozilla Firefox. Underneath this cut, there are 82 icons awaiting you. But, first, an important announcement:

The days of this journal are limited. I don't plan to delete it, however, I don't intend to update it either. Never fear! There will still be icons, wallpapers, journal headers, tutorials--all the stuff you've come to expect from me. Actually, there will be more than just that. I've opened my design blog up and am using it as a general blog, where I'll still have a good emphasis on graphics and web-design. The blog has been moved to here, and I encourage you to check it out "in person" at least once because... um, it has pretty pictures and I spent lots of time designing the templates. If you don't like simply handing its RSS feed to your news aggregator of choice, [info]trygve has created your solution: [info]gnomeblog. It's currently showing the wrong feed, but LJ is fixing that as I type, so don't worry.

Now, for the stuff you actually care about:



It's 1183 and we're all barbarians! )

Narnia and an Assortment [May. 19th, 2005|05:56 pm]

Behold! I exist! And I come with icons. More to the point, I have 15 icons from The Chronicles of Narnia, and I've an assortment of other icons including bits of Blackadder, The Frames, PotO, and more.



Whatever happens, never forget to wipe your sword. )

Four Wallpapers [Apr. 4th, 2005|09:48 pm]
[mood | cheerful]
[music |The Last Laugh of the Laughter -- Travis]

Hello everyone. I was going through some of my old photographs over the weekend and decided to make a few wallpapers. They're nothing fancy, mainly because I wanted to let the photos speak for themselves. All photographs are mine, which means that I hold full copyright of these. In other words, please, please, please don't make me come persecute you. :s

{whisperback} icons [Mar. 12th, 2005|08:23 pm]
These icons are set around {whisperback}, a marvelous example of original fiction by [info]bandonbanshee and [info]applegnat. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Check out the website, request access to the community, enjoy the icons.

Frames Wallpaper [Feb. 9th, 2005|10:20 pm]
[mood | Why Does It Always SNOW on me?]
[music |Why Does It Always Rain On Me? -- Travis]

In honor of the release of Burn the Maps from The Frames, I have made a wallpaper using one of their older songs, Fitzcarraldo. There are streaming tracks from some of the older albums on the band's website, and iTunes offers both Burn the Maps and Set List for download. I recommend both highly.


800 x 600 + 1024 x 768 + 1280 x 960
1280 x 1024 + 1600 x 1200 + 1920 x 1200

Also, as requested by [info]eyra, I wrote up a guide to screencapping. And, in that same vein, I have about 5200 Phantom of the Opera caps over here.

Looking for some input [Feb. 2nd, 2005|02:24 pm]
[mood | cold]
[music |The Gulf War Song -- Moxy Früvous]

I'm curious to know what kind of icons you all would like to see. I have a pretty large DVD collection, and I don't mind going out to look for caps of subjects that I like. But we both benefit if the subject I'm iconing (iconifying?) is one that you'd like to see. So comment with ideas of icon topics. Think there needs to be more Princess Bride? Rufus? Casablanca? Bush-bashing? Something completely different? Tell me. I don't guarantee that I'll make icons on the subject you suggest, but I'm certainly open to suggestions.

Also, I need ideas for subjects to post on in my design blog; so if there's something that you're curious about, a technique or what not, comment here and I'll see what I can do.

By the way, the friends list has been updated (and mutualized, heh), and this post is friends-only as something of a reward to those of you who watch this place.

Thanks!

[mood | calm]
[music |Downhill From Here - The Frames]

This is a large update. God only knows how I managed to make most of these in the last 24 hours and still get homework done. Maybe Peter's right.

Here we have:
    ICONS:
  • 45 Phantom of the Opera
  • 10 The Frames
  • 5 Rufus Wainwright
  • 2 Damien Rice


And 1 Phantom of the Opera wallpaper.



Down we plunge to the prison of my mind )

My resources reside here, and, if anyone is interested in some of the coloring/texturing on these icons, the bases I make and use are here.

Incidentally, I've added everyone who's added this journal recently. For those of you who have just been added, I suggest scrolling back through some of the older entries. There are friends-only goodies hiding there.

Phantom of the Opera Icons [Jan. 17th, 2005|09:46 pm]
[mood | cold]
[music |Masquerade -- Phantom of the Opera]

I'm a sucker for this musical, and, although I still hold the musical very dear in my heart, I think highly of the movie as well. You'll have a pretty clear idea who I like best when you look at the icons.

the update you've all been waiting for [Jan. 4th, 2005|04:03 pm]
I'm happy to announce that after a near-all-nighter Gnomicons is up and running! There may be a couple of minor issues in positioning and style-rendering between browsers, but nothing that should prevent anyone from using the site. I'm going to post a selection of the new icons here, but, for the rest of it including a new wallpaper and four new sets of Photoshop brushes, you're going to have to go to the site! (hint hint)



More new stuff including ROTK EE, Spiderman 2, Damien Rice, and The Frames )

There's much more to see at the site, including new PS brushes (icon and regular), more icons and the brand-new design blog.

Disappearing Icons [Jan. 4th, 2005|12:05 am]
There are going to be lots of little red 'x's in here for awhile because I'm redoing the entire site and all of the images will be at a different URL. It will be a few days probably before I get all the old entries here fixed. Sorry for any problems caused!

Casablanca Icons [Sep. 13th, 2004|07:27 pm]
[mood | busy]
[music |Don't Cry For Me, Argentina -- Madonna]

This semester is kicking my ass.

But every year at my uni starts with a screening of Casablanca, and, because it's one of the best movies ever made in my book, I have a few icons. And why aren't movie stars today gorgeous like Ingrid Bergman?



Make it seven. I'm just a poor, overworked college student. )

Caps are from here, courtesy of [info]vrya.

And for anyone curious, all the small, illegible type is quotes from the movie.

EDIT: I know you all want to do me a favor and get a free iPod at the same time. Right?

Gnomicons has been updated! Yes, I hear you all screaming, "Finally!"> There are new icons there that haven't been posted here as well as two completely new wallpapers: one of the band Coldplay and one of Michael Phelps.

Here's a list of some of the all-new icons (FYI: not all the icons on the site page(s) are new). I hope you'll all forgive me for being so tired of typing code that I don't retype everything here...

Tobey Maguire
King Arthur
Blackadder
Daria
Donald Duck
Coldplay
Olympics

The usual rules continue to apply. I hope that you enjoy them!

Just a dump [Jul. 15th, 2004|01:42 pm]
[mood | exhausted]

Consider this post a massive dump of some of the things I've been doing in my utterly non-existent free time. I really am very sorry that the promised brushes have not been put up, and nor has my site been updated. I had part of it done, but then I realized that I just need to recode the whole thing from scratch, and I haven't had near enough time for that. And I won't until my summer class is over at the very least.

But my arm got twisted, so I'm sticking these up. Here we have icons from (in no particular order): Lord of the Rings, Troy, Wizard of Oz, Spiderman 2, Bend It Like Beckham, Daria, Shrek 2, and Gladiator. What's more and what I find far cooler, are the miscellaneous icons, which have everything from Writer!Pride to Engineer!Pride, and some fun text-y ones, too.

Over the Rainbow... I might be considered sane )

Rules:
--Comment if taking.
--Credit "gnomeofsol" or "gnomicons" in your keywords.
--No hotlinking.
--No altering.

The resources for these should be listed on my FAQ.

And, to further appease the masses Spiderman 2 wallpapers )

As always, wallpapers are available in practically any size under the sun and are for personal use only, unless you get special permission from me.

Massive, massive numbers of icons [May. 18th, 2004|09:57 pm]
[mood | tired]
[music |Futurama]

Alright, I think I've uploaded everything, though I haven't actually updated the site. When I do, there will probably be another entry here because I'll have more icons by then because I intend to put up some new brushes as well.

90 icons from Casablanca, Gattaca, Harry Potter, Kill Bill, Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, Troy, The Shawshank Redemption and more )

In addition to the places listed on my FAQ, these icons use brushes from [info]crumblingwalls, [info]serendipitysho, and [info]gegenschein.

[EDIT: In writing this last night, I neglected the obvious: the rules.

  • Comment when taking.

Thanks, and sorry for any confusion my neglect may have caused.]

Consolation Prize? [May. 18th, 2004|04:49 pm]
[mood | calm]
[music |Dogma, baby]

I realize that there haven't been icons in a really long time. I promise that I have been making them in the few moments I've had between projects, finals, and such. All that is over now, so I should get things coded and uploaded any time now. But as a bit of a consolation, if you will, I've put up two new wallpapers, both offered in just about every resolution I could think of. Please keep in mind that the files are fairly large .jpgs, and they were originally designed for a screen that's 1920 x 1200, so things get cut out and rearranged to fit it into, say, 1024 x 768.

Kill Bill Vol. 2

800 x 600 + 1024 x 768 + 1280 x 960 + 1280 x 1024 + 1600 x 1200 + 1920 x 1200

Troy

800 x 600 + 1024 x 768 + 1280 x 960 + 1280 x 1024 + 1600 x 1200 + 1920 x 1200

These are intended for personal use only. Please let me know, though, if you take one. I like to know what people like. ;-)

All brushes made by me unless memory fails me. Photos from OutNow.
