Dear People Who Make Icons,

I just read this "It ususally doesn't take that long for me to make an icon ( 20 -30 minutes) unless I'm trying to get text on it" in a post.

Is this an average thing? Because if an icon isn't coming together for me in about a minute, I scrap it. I cannot imagine spending that kind of time on an icon.

Sincerely,
A person who sometimes makes icons

I've done icons in half an hour, sometimes an hour, but only if it's something complicated I really want to try and pull off (ie something I've never done before and I try try try until I get it done), but usually it takes a minute or five at the most. Five if there's text, because I'm totally sucky at teh text.

I can't stand taking too long on any one icon. I get impatient.

Okay. And yeah, I suck ass at text which is why I don't really use it ever.

And randomly, I saw Ando (or technically the actor) on a McDonald's commercial yesterday. *nods*

Who is this Kevin mentioned on your icon?

[allyoops.livejournal.com]

Oh Ando, you'd pimp the devil if the devil payed, huh? *sad face*

Kevin is Kevin Rudd, the Australian opposition leader. Our elections are coming up soon, so Bobby and Ando kindly agreed to pimp my political preference! They're such gentlemen! ♥

Is this Kevin guy less of a Bush lapdog than Howard is? Unless of course you like Howard and then I uhm, didn't say anything!

That is really generous of Bobby and Ando.

I think technically Rudd is Howards lapdog :(

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Oh. Oh, my.

I dunno... I don't really get much into politics... which is silly sometimes, cos I should care about whats going on... but from what I've seen Rudd is following in Howards footsteps.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Hopefully not.

[allyoops.livejournal.com]

Very much less! Hopefully this year it's out with the lapdog and in with the ...much less lappy dog. I dunno! I'm a cat person! :D

Bobby and Ando are my heroes.

Great icon. I didn't think it was possible to love Bobby or Ando more than I already did but, yeah. :)
