i always love staring at your icon posts
and lol sometimes if i'm chating to someone over msn and see you updateded i give them the link to your post like "check this out? cool amirite?"
but seriously, you're usage of textures and text is amazing and your work is never boring, your vibrant coloring is A+ too.
and i noticed you didn't post here any of your animated icons which are great as well (and i'm saying this because i usually don't like animated icons)
