The Iconize Me! Project

I got a lot of orders done today...I hope all of you who got them are pleased with the outcome. I have a late night tomorrow, but I have thursday off, so I'll get a bunch more done then.

Because I got so many out tonight, I decided to reward myself with a little project I've had in my mind for a while. I've decided to dub it "The Iconize Me! Project"....Essentially, I'm making two 36x24 posters...each one will have 900 images. One poster will be 900 icons I did for Iconize Me! and the other will be the 900 corresponding photos that were sent for those icons. Each icon/photo will be in the same position on the posters. This is really just for me, I'm not mass producing or selling them. So those of you who have had icons done don't need to worry about your image being everywhere- This is just for myself.

Why only 900? Well, I wanted them to still be large enough to see, for one. But I also needed a number that could easily be divided into portrait-sized boxes for the poster. Also- 900 is still an impressive number ;-)

I might post small thumbnail updates of the poster as it goes along. As of right now, I only have 12 images in place...It's very time consuming. I'm pretty much choosing random images, but I still have to keep track to make sure there are no duplicates.

I know it comes off kinda lazy sounding....But its not as bad as it seems.

I have a day job- About 5-6 days a week. I devote the days off to doing icon orders. Any time I find in between I use for whatever I want- Like this project. But to be perfectly honest..It's been weeks since I've started this project and I've only gotten one and half rows done (there are 20 rows)....So not THAT much time has been devoted to it.

The day job is done now for the summer, and I have two weeks off. Icons are being made a full force and I'm working on reopening Iconize Me! Keep an eye here for more updates.
