Autumn Splendor & Russet Icons

Posted by: • Date:

It was a lovely day I’m told, up here on the north coast of the USA at the edge of Lake Erie. One of those clear, crisp, bright and colorful autumn days, perfect for a walk around one of Ohio’s incredible state parks. While it’s been years since I’ve been able to do that myself, I’ve been blessed with such vivid memories that I just close my eyes and can hear the crackle of the dried, fallen leaves beneath my feet; the smokey, vaguely meaty smell of a wood-fire rising through a chimney at a nearby lodge; the distant creaking and gentle laughter of children playing on the swings; the peaceful honking of geese flying in a perfect “V” formation on their way down from Canada and passing through to reach Georgia for the winter; and the taste of crisp, tart winesap apples in my mouth. Just thinking of these sensations brings a smile to my face. You just can’t beat those simple pleasures. So while I slept through most of the daytime hours (a consequence of the flu shot I had last week because of my almost non-existent immune system), my imagination served me well with the next best thing.

As a follow-up to last night’s premier of my Russet series of icons, tonight I’m serving up the balance of that series, which includes a coordinating wallpaper (packaged in 3 different sizes). Enjoy!

Fox Spokane (Copper Art Deco Icons)

Posted by: • Date:

A tiny architectural detail carved into the façade of the fabulous Art Deco building which originally housed The Fox Theatre in Spokane, Washington (and which now houses the Spokane Symphony Orchestra) was the starting inspiration for this series. Evidence of this is only reflected in my version of the building as the User’s Home Icon and on a Diary Application Icon. What developed from that detail though is a multi-part set of brushed-satin copper icons with an art-deco touch which includes icons for basic system replacements, folders, devices, applications, dock, toolbar, clippings, locations, interior library folders, and more.

A comparison between this icon series, my South Beach Series, and my original Art Deco series is a great demonstration of the diversity within the Art Deco genre, and why it can be somewhat difficult to describe in a few short sentences. But, to paraphrase a line from (former) Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart, “I know it when I see it!”
