I'm assuming you came here looking for icons, right? Well good job! I've got icons.

To avoid any confusion, I was previously murdericons but I got tired of that name. I'm a poor college student and I wanted a fresh start anyway, so I made a new journal instead of buying a name change token.

Anyway, so here I am. Icons will be here too. And headers. Maybe some wallpapers. As far as the subject matter you can expect, check out the interests listed on my profile.

What else? Oh, how about some rules?

1. Don't take credit for my graphics. I'm not going on a witch hunt for people who do this, but if I happen to find you, all hell will break loose.
2. Please credit me for the icons with a link somewhere. See previous rule for further warning.
3. I don't make tutorials for the hell of it, but I'll help you out with some stuff if you ask.
4. I do take requests. You can post requests in the comments of any thread. Be aware that I will post any graphics made for you in my journal for other people to use as well.

And I think that's about it... There are a few more important posts below this one, and then on to the graphics.

These aren't divided up very well, and the list is probably far from complete. I'll probably be adding to it constantly, but it's a pretty long list and should be of help to lots of people.

I love entering contests, even if I don't win very many. Here are all the prizes I've won in icon contests.

Since I finally finished the Zac icons, I decided to start on a set for Taylor. When I finish these, Ike will be next. By then, I imagine I will be completely insane.

( you are a revolution against my own conclusions )

Well, I did it again. Just like I said I would. 50 more Hanson text icons. Most of these quotes come from the HNET reporter thingies, but quite a few of them also come from kiki_in_love. That girl is like a Hanson encyclopedia, I think. If you want the context for any of these, just ask and I might be able to provide it. Then again, monkeys on fire are pretty funny regardless.

Soooo I decided to do some text icons of funny Hanson quotes. Some of these go way back and some are more recent. All of them come from interviews, dvds and FUTYs. Hopefully you guys are amused by them as much as I am. I will probably make more in the future.

Because clearly I'm not busy enough (riiiight, that's what my summer class grades will say), I've started another 100 icon challenge. This time, just Zac Hanson. At some point, I will have to run out of pics. Right? Right. Until then, here are my efforts for musicon100.

ETA: As of January 17, 2010, I am finished! And it only took six months, lol.

( i'm not a wise man )

More icons and junk, as usual. I'm trying lots of new textures and things, so I like how a lot of these look. Hope you guys like them too. Also, please check out my new website to see more of my graphics and some other fun content.

New website, launching soon.

It's just the server-generated placeholder right now but soon I'll have all I need to edit it myself and get my content up. So, yay for me!

I just rekindled my interest in one of my oldest fandoms. You might call me lame for it, but I don't care. I've been a fan of Hanson since I was 11, and some of my earliest websites when I was 14 were full of Hanson fanfic. Yep, I'm a "fanson." Anyway, here are some icons and stuff, with a good portion of them devoted to one of my favorite bands ever (coming in just behind The Doors and Led Zeppelin).

Just checking... something seems to be wrong with my journal and I can't figure out what.

Hopefully it all gets sorted out soon, because I have some icons to post.

I think I'm becoming a comic book nerd. I'm already a nerd, but comic books (and their related movies) are something I've never really been into. But I loved Iron Man and now I'm super excited about The Dark Knight. I'm not just jumping on the Heath Ledger bandwagon either -- although his portrayal of the joker reminds me of a guy I dated. Is that odd? I think that's a yes.

Anyway, here are some more graphics, obviously. Tried to find some different subjects that I haven't iconed before. As always, I'm open to suggestions of anyone/thing you would like to see some icons of. And comments and criticism are also welcome.

Once again I've gone forever without updating. Now summer vacation is boring me to death and I'm back to making graphics again. It's a nifty distraction from all the work I should be doing around the house.

This is a fairly small post, but it'll do for now. Also, everything in this post is all about Panic at the Disco. Still getting used to writing that without the ! in there. Pretty odd, indeed.

More icons and things to come soon, I promise.

50 icons and 1 friends only banner
all Panic at the Disco!

So, here are some icons. I should be asleep, but I'm feeling rather insomniac tonight. I think I'll try to keep my posts a little smaller than I used to, maybe just 50 or 60 icons at a time. That might help me to post more often, what do you think?

68 icons

So that hiatus lasted longer than I anticipated. Oops.

Still not sure if I'm going to be back for good, but it's looking possible. Unfortunately I have lost all of my icons and bases and such. So I'm starting over from scratch, basically.

But, there may be icons here very soon. So look out.

Like the title says, I've got some bad news. I've lost the flash drive that had all my icons and graphics on it. It's most likely at my dad's house and I won't be going back there for at least a couple of weeks.

What this means is that I won't be able to post any graphics for awhile. When I'm back at school (next Sunday) I'll start collecting pictures and bases to use and then I'll be able to post some stuff. But there will be a slight delay. I don't want to call this a hiatus, because I'm not doing it on purpose. Nevertheless, it's happening.

So... I'll be taking a short, unplanned break to recollect myself and my resources. I'll return as soon as possible.

Well it looks like I can manage to post once a week even with the stress of the holidays. But of course, next semester will be even more stressful than right now. So posting may be a bit sporadic, actually starting next week when I go visit my dad. I'm not at all prepared for that visit. And I just found out that my on-again off-again ex will be returning for next semester. I almost think things would be easier if he had left...

Anyway, enough about me. That's not what you're here for, right? Here are the icons. Oh, and a cool anecdote that makes me feel very validated. I saw someone comment at iconrants using one of my icons. Using it, not mocking it! That seriously made my day.

So happy Christmas Eve Eve and enjoy the icons!

I've decided to start stockpiling icons over Christmas break. I should be able to make enough icons to keep posting once a week or so, even after the spring semester has started. I'm going to be really busy then, but since I don't have a roommate now I can stay awake as long as I want. I'll be making icons all night! Haha, more like doing homework all night. Anyway, this week's update is a little bigger than I intended, but here it is.

Oh, and I'm going to try to make a header for most of the icon subjects of each post. If those go over well, I may add friends only banners to my upcoming posts as well. I'm no good at wallpaper, though. Anyway, feedback on my headers would be nice.

92 icons + 3 headers
x12 Zodiac Signs
x12 Amy Lee (Evanescence) + one header
x16 Ville Valo (HIM) + one header
x52 Led Zeppelin (all members) + one header

Alright, well. Here's my first post at this journal. What fun! Some of these icons are actually a few months old, but the majority of them are new. I've tried to be fair with my holiday stuff -- even the "Christmassy" ones could mostly work for pagans as well. I've got a few Hannukkah icons, but I haven't found any nice Kwanzaa pictures yet... That may come with the next batch, though. Anyway, take what you like and give credit. Of course, comments and feedback are always welcome!
