Icon meme

[vettecat]

The Rules:
1. Reply to this post, and I will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee. Whoo!

The five that gnomi picked are:


This is from Girl Genius, a fabulous online comic strip about a world ruled by Mad Science. This particular icon comes from an important scene that may not make much sense without context. Then again, it might. :-)


Also from Girl Genius. This comes from a short standalone story introducing readers to the GG universe.


The Earth at night. (You probably knew that.) Sent to me by foolcat as part of a conversation about something random, and I just thought it was cool.


My favorite painting by Wojtek Siudmak, an amazingly talented man who was my Artist Guest of Honor when I chaired Arisia in 2001. I love this one. We have a print of it hanging in our living room. It's also my current computer wallpaper.


I got this one from Avatarity; I found a bunch there when I first started scavenging for icons. I thought it had a fairy-tale look, reminiscent of Tolkien.

That's it for now... hope you've enjoyed your trip down Icon Lane!

You're very welcome, thanks for making such fun choices! (And I think you would really like Girl Genius, if you aren't reading it already... they have the whole story archived on the website.)

I am hooked. I never thanked you for that. :-)

My pleasure. Bwah ha ha ha. :-) (BTW you might want to check out the chatter at girlgenius_lab... and I imagine you know they post the new comics at girlgeniuscomic?)

Yes, I did know that. I get the comic on my iGoogle though.
