It's rather frustrating and discouraging but instead of attacking others I've decided to do this. I wanted to give a shout out to some of my favorite icon makers of all time and tell them what a huge inspiration they are to me and thank them for producing and sharing such quality work. <br /><br /><a name="cutid1"></a><ol><font face="Arial Black" font="font" size="4">call_me_daisy</font><br />I don't think I've ever heard on bad thing about her and why should there be negativity? <span class='ljuser' lj:user='call_me_daisy' style='white-space: nowrap;'><a href='http://call-me-daisy.livejournal.com/profile'><img src='http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif' alt='[info]' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /></a><a href='http://call-me-daisy.livejournal.com/'><b>call_me_daisy</b></a></span> produces such colorful and well cropped squares it's hard not to to sit back and just allow your breath to be taken.<br /><br /><img src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk224/applelungs/spam/makers/call_me_daisy6487686.png"> <img src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk224/applelungs/spam/makers/call_me_daisyct.png"> <img src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk224/applelungs/spam/makers/call_me_daisyweedsnancypants.png"> <img src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk224/applelungs/spam/makers/call_me_daisybsg231.png"><br /><br /><font face="Arial Black" font="font" size="4">colorstoobright</font><br /><font face="Arial Black" font="font" size="2">@ weethreekings</font><br />I love the depth and intensity of <span class='ljuser' lj:user='colorstoobright' style='white-space: nowrap;'><a href='http://colorstoobright.livejournal.com/profile'><img src='http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif' alt='[info]' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /></a><a href='http://colorstoobright.livejournal.com/'><b>colorstoobright</b></a></span>'s icons. She works with space, color and style in a graceful yet powerful way and it pleases me greatly. <br /><br /><img src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk224/applelungs/spam/makers/colorstoobrightav_westwing-13.png"> <img src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk224/applelungs/spam/makers/colorstoobrighta.png"> <img src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk224/applelungs/spam/makers/av_donna.png"> <img src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk224/applelungs/spam/makers/av_jed.png"><br /><br /><font face="Arial Black" font="font" size="4">fuyu_ginga</font><br /><font face="Arial Black" font="font" size="2">@ galaxy_cauldron</font><br />Biased or not I love <span class='ljuser' lj:user='fuyu_ginga' style='white-space: nowrap;'><a href='http://fuyu-ginga.livejournal.com/profile'><img src='http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif' alt='[info]' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /></a><a href='http://fuyu-ginga.livejournal.com/'><b>fuyu_ginga</b></a></span>'s icons. They are funny and a style all her own. She works with text and silliness so well that it never takes away from the icon itself. It only makes it better. Her coloring always pops no matter the cap.<br /><br /><img src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk224/applelungs/spam/makers/fuckingloveit.gif"> <img src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk224/applelungs/spam/makers/fuyu_gingasleepysam.png"> <img src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk224/applelungs/spam/makers/fuyu_gingacanigetahugtoo.png"> <img src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk224/applelungs/spam/makers/fuyu_gingalipsmack-2.png"><br /><br /><font face="Arial Black" font="font" size="4">pajamas</font><br /><font face="Arial Black" font="font" size="2">@ foursides</font><br />Formally <span class='ljuser' lj:user='rainblows' style='white-space: nowrap; font-weight: bold;'>rainblows</span>, <span class='ljuser' lj:user='pajamas' style='white-space: nowrap;'><a href='http://pajamas.livejournal.com/profile'><img src='http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif' alt='[info]' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /></a><a href='http://pajamas.livejournal.com/'><b>pajamas</b></a></span> has been an inspiration for me ever since I began making icons.
