I don't know what to make icons of so I thought I'd ask for your help.

Link me to some images, as many as you like, and I'll try to make icons of them. They'll be in the style I want to make them in and they'll all be completely and utterly shareable. I might not make them all, I'll see what works. Try to choose images of high quality because that will make me happy. And please only link me to clean images. I'm not going to icon anything objectionable anyway so.. *shrugs* there's little point in linking me to them. You can choose anything. Any fandom, anything. I'd really like screencaps rather than photographs because I find them more interesting but I will icon any type of image.

Yeah, I think that's it =P

ETA: I'd really appreciate it if you could just link to images and not galleries. And pleeaaase don't be really vague because I'm in a lazy sort of mood and hunting for pictures really isn't what I want to do. If you are vague, I'm most likely not going to fulfill your request.

I have no screencaps that would suit but I thought you might try to icon some photographs of famous fashion photographer, Horst P. Horst. I think his photos are just amazing :)

Here's the link to the galleries:

I'd really like some Thin Man (Myrna Loy/William Powell) icons, but I'm having a time finding screencaps. They were just released on DVD last August, I think. The Dr. Macro site has photos of the actors. http://www.doctormacro.com/Movie%20Star%20Pages/Loy,%20Myrna.htm

Oh I would love you forever if you make an icon of this painting. It's the best scan I can find but I lurrrve it so much that the prospect of iconning it personally fills me with dread. However, I know you will do something marvelous with it so I'm throwing it at you and begging.

Also, not sure if you know about The Women being capped here @ cap_it. They're excellent caps.

I'm pretty sure I promised these months ago...so sorry about the delay! But here are some caps from 8 Femmes. The glorious french musical starring a plethora of the best French actresses around today. Also full of fun costumes and silly poses!

I admit I went a little crazy with picking out some caps. There are 23 caps (taken by Inflatable) at my gallery. I thought you might have fun looking through and pick out a couple that inspire you. I tried to get a variety of shots. However, if you don't have the time just let me know and I'll try and narrow it down for you.

(let me know if you can see this page...I think it's open to everyone but I'm not that familiar with how to work these galleries yet!)

Was that enough babbling for you? :)

I just noted that you edited your original post. I'll take it that I was one of those people who shouldn't have just given you a gallery. I did actually create that just for you....narrowed it down out of 500 *makes face* but I completely understand about not having much time. Anyhoo I picked out four from the bunch:

http://pics.livejournal.com/neuilly/pic/0004azae (because I love Catherine Deneuve)
http://pics.livejournal.com/neuilly/pic/000480ag (because twirling is always fun)
http://pics.livejournal.com/neuilly/pic/0004rs00 (because I actually find it funny...Beart is wonderful in this film, such a great stereotyped maid)
http://pics.livejournal.com/neuilly/pic/0004t1sq (because I'd be so impressed if you could actually make a decent icon out of this)

Anyhoo, I hope one appeals to you! If not...no worries. I always love seeing what you come up with.

I watched The Cat's Meow last night, and fell in love - it's a beautiful film, even if it's a little odd. What struck me as the finest point of the film was the Charlie Chaplin/Marion Davies relationship, and that Eddie Izzard & Kirsten Dunst played it to perfect. So, I'd love anything from these caps!
