About the site

When I jumped on the LiveJournal bandwagon, I instantly got hooked on making icons. When I used to post on forums with a 60x60 pixel maximum for icons, I made a whole bunch of icons too, even though I only used a few myself.  Same with AIM and MSN Messenger - I make 'em, but don't use them all myself.  So I thought it would be a neat idea to put all of my unused icons and any new icons I make on a website, and here it is - Scarlett's Pile O' Icons.  Credit must go to egretplume, who came up with the "pile o' icons" bit. :D

About the icons

  • I create my icons using Adobe PhotoShop CS2 (v. 9) and a good dash of inspiration.  The images I use are from many sources - there are several sites that I use most often, but visit the Links/Resources section for the full list of links.
  • I also screencapture images from music videos or DVD photo galleries for quite a few of my icons - I try to not just mooch off of other sites. :)
  • I really don't care about credit.  I truly just like making icons.  I get a kick out of seeing my icons in use, but I don't immediately check the person's userinfo or whatever to see if they credited me.  I just smile happily and go about my business. :)  Just use 'em and enjoy 'em!
