Art And Icons

[sophieisgod]

... For Your Consideration. I've stumbled upon a few artists recently who disarmed me with their awesome. So here are some picture.

Audrey Kawasaki

Owari


Swangirl


Yume No Ato



Kurt Halsey

Lay Down, Let Go


Oceans Apart



I am definitely getting a paid account some time in the next month *party poppers*, so I am obviously already thinking about all the icons I am going to fill up all that lovely space with. Here's a few I like. Thoughts?

I knew about Kurt Halsey, but not about Audrey Kawasaki and OMG, it's amazing... really beautiful. And concerning icons, I like 1&3 from italian_jewels a lot *nods*

^^

[kyasuriin.livejournal.com]

ooh, a couple of my favourites *G*

[artemislives.livejournal.com]

ugh, I love both artists so dreadfully:D I know there's a lot of hate for Halsey in particular though, because people say he's pretentious and emo and whatnot, but his pieces tap into relaionships and such like few modern artists have been able to

[sophieisgod.livejournal.com]

Really? That seems harsh. I agree with you about the way he presents relationships, though; it's delicate and tangible and gracefully painful. I haven't seen much of his work, I admit, but I feel compelled to investigate.

And we still need to talk about Hannibal Rising ;)

Those arts are so beautiful. I especially love the last two, the ones by Kurt Halsey. &hearts

Yay for a paid account! I really want to get one, but I should probably get a job first. And to do that I need to remember how to write a CV. Speaking of jobs, how did the job hunt go?

Also, I bring evidence! Look at her, all touchy feely with his jacket (and, quite low down might I add)!

I love Hasley's stuff! I'd never heard of Kawasaki though, but those are lovely too.

[sophieisgod.livejournal.com]

Yay! She actually has an LJ, i_seldom_do

STOP WITH THE GASPARD ICON, WOMAN! Your efforts are in vain! But, admittedly, very nice to look at. Ohh, his collar looks so appealing.

[tirwen-star03.livejournal.com]

Shiny! *goes to check it out*

It's my default, I can't help it!! :P And yes, the collar is lovely! Have you seen the pics of him with his shirt unbuttoned?

[sophieisgod.livejournal.com]

No, but if I don't my life will have no meaning!

*waits expectantly, hands outstretched, like Oliver*

Oh my.

*gathers self*

I think the third one might be my favourite, but it feels so wrong to choose.

Oh my.

[tirwen-star03.livejournal.com]

It is hard to choose! I'm leaning towards the third one too.

And, you know, there was a scene in Twilight where Edward wore an unbuttoned white shirt too...

[sophieisgod.livejournal.com]

The third one... It's very... Distracting.

Was there? I must have blocked it from my memory :P Oh dear. I'm actually tilting my head to look at your icon properly.

[tirwen-star03.livejournal.com]

I love how he looks sexily incredulous in the first one though. :D

It was the bit when he takes Bella to the meadow, I think. :p

Mwahaha, victory is at hand.

[sophieisgod.livejournal.com]

Haha, you just shot yourself in the foot!

The bit in the meadow is the birth of Rainbow!Edward and Rainbow!Edward sucks! Ahahaha! I am free! That was a close one.

[rayslady.livejournal.com]

thank you for that beatufiul beatiful page-worth of art...
I had such an abominable day, that really made me feel a teeny bit better.

In other news - weirdness about the icons, since I love them all, but just today picked up one of them from somewhere else! Great minds, Soph, great minds.

[sophieisgod.livejournal.com]

Awww, glad it cheered you up, and sorry your day sucked. *hugs*

FREAKY MIND MELDING! GET OUT OF MY HEAD WOMAN! You make an excellent point, although I must add that fools seldom differ.

Why am I writing this when we're on MSN? I am strange.

[rayslady.livejournal.com]

*hugs too*
Ugh, Silent Witness pissed me off. I mean, great story and everything, but the HARRY NIKKI AT THE END WAS, AGAIN, INTERRUPTED BY STUPID LEO!!! LEAVE THEM ALONE FOR FIVE DAMN SECONDS!!
Ahem...not meaning to spoil anything for you...
xoxoxoxoxxoxxooxoxoxx

[sophieisgod.livejournal.com]

Harry did get his forearms out, though.

STUPID LEO! WHY MUST YOU RUIN EVERYTHING? I did smile when Harry said "Good", though.

[bishwop.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I've seen Halsey's art before around LJ. But not Kawasaki's! Does she paint on wood or something? The texture of the background looks very wood-like. I LIKE. *goes to research*

[sophieisgod.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's oil on wood. I really like her, some of her other stuff's reet weird :)

[clouded-logic.livejournal.com]

Kurt Halsey's stuff is amazing <3 Audrey Kawasaki's things freak me out a little though.

And yay for paid account! Those ice cream icons make me hungry.

[sophieisgod.livejournal.com]

Ohh, I'm sorry I freaked you out :( *hugs*

I want ice cream too. Also, HOW awesome was MTW?!

Aww, I feel like I haven't spoken to you for aaaages.

[clouded-logic.livejournal.com]

Aww, it's fine really. You're so lovely! *hugs*

Ice cream, Mock the Week, we're all so logical. And it was SO INCREDIBLY AWESOME, best it's been in weeks! I now heart Gina Yashere XD

Same here :o( School is making me do work, leaving me no time for looking at any Phelpsy goodness (which I feel very deprived of, it feels like forever since Picspam Day) or even to read any fic. I promise I will read your new one soon! Smut smut smut.

[sophieisgod.livejournal.com]

NUTS ON THE ROAD! *mad hugs*

Stupid school :(

Also, the Buzzcocks episode with the quotes from our icons was just on!

[clouded-logic.livejournal.com]

NIM NIM NIM! *madder hugs*

It really is. But half term's not that far off :P

OMG I KNOW I WATCHED IT AND THOUGHT OF US XD
