Gratuitous Icon Post
Aug. 27th, 2005 02:38 pm...Because it's more fun than working on this week's marketing "team" assignment:
I tackled a few literature icons last night -- I've got Byron, shown here (which is my favorite of the bunch), and a few others, which I'll show off behind the cut. I don't know how happy I am with the Shelley one. I think that one shows that I was getting a little tired. The Austen icons are totally tongue-in-cheek, which likewise shows how sleepy I was getting. And the "Lit H0r" one was just me feeling silly. I was trying to stay up as long as teh boi did, but I tuckered out around 2 am and crashed, hard.
( Behold: free time, stock photography, and lots of books makes Niamh a busy bunneh. )
I'd like to do a few more. Keats seems to be begging to be done, along with Wuthering Heights, and... ah, who knows what else? I tried doing a Wordsworth one last night, since I've got a ton of photos of Tintern Abbey, but I just couldn't make it work. And I totally need to do a Coleridge one for Kubla Khan, because... yeah. Just because. I want to do a Melmoth the Wanderer one, but my favorite passage from that book is so messed up, and very long to boot. I don't know if it'd be very "icon friendly." And Baudelaire. OMG yes, Baudelaire.
WTFH?! The new modem seems to have made no difference whatsoever, as I have been kicked off the internet countless times today. Looks like I'm going to have no choice BUT to work on my marketing project... *grumble*
And I'm also going to have to call Brighthouse. Fnar. Of course, they're probably busy with people down in the southern part of the state who've lost power. Ah, but the internet is up again. I'll post this while I have the chance...
