We had a fun little project a few weeks back to design icons for a computer desktop. Pick a theme, any theme.
I've long been entranced by Alaskan iconography, and I despair that the actual Inuit would shudder at the cliche of all that I find charming.
I went "charming" anyway. These are done in Illustrator -- that Adobe program I have to re-teach myself every now and then. It's fun, once you get the hang of it. That is, once you stop swearing at it.
Incidentally, if you want to see some lovely children's-book illustrations on the topic of Arctic wonderfulness, stop in here and see Mama Do You Love Me?, a book that came out when my now-18-year-old daughter was a wee thing. Barbara Joose is the author; Barbara Lavallee is the illustrator.

These are really just charming. I can imagine them on t-shirts.
Oh, I also wanted to tell you that a woman came in the store today with your clipping of when you wrote the gift guide about the Moleskine and Micron pen. She had the actual clipping!
Awesome icons! I like your blog a lot.
Cliche, maybe; but delightful, charming, fun? Absolutely! You are brilliant!
