Icon Contest Community

I have started a LiveJournal icon contest community. Please feel free to join if you enjoy making icons. I will not be voting in the contests, so there will be no bias to entries of people I know versus those I don't. Please pass the word to anyone you think might be interested. I'm not sure how long I'll keep doing it, but I thought it would be a good way for me to get back into making icons and connecting with other people that do.

latest hollywood_ic contest entry

Here's the latest icon I entered at hollywood_ic. The theme was "The Office". I agree with the 1st and 2nd place winners, but I don't get why the 3rd one did so well. There's nothing special about it at all. Granted, mine was not worthy of placing, either, but still...

LJ icon

Since I forgot to submit this for the Challenge #25 at hollywood_ic, here's an icon I made for Mean Girls.

Feel free to use, just give credit.

follow up: LJ icons

A while back I posted that I was starting to make LJ icons again. I had entered a contest to create an icon for the movie, "Music & Lyrics". I didn't place, but here are the icons I made:

productive Saturday

mood: accomplished
listening to: tv


(I love that Friends icon for "accomplished")

I am feeling accomplished.
-Jeff helped me get our files off of the old hard-drive, and everything seems to be working quite well.
-Started the process of ripping cds again, and it's going much faster than last time.
-Was inspired by Erwina to start making LJ icons again, and I found a community that holds weekly contests to created movie and tv themed icons. Submitted my first entries this evening! I'll share them after the contest is over.

Off to go finish the last half hour of His Kind of Woman and maybe start On the Waterfront until D gets home from picking up hogs with the "other D".
