Gratuitous Icon Post

[capri0mni]

These icons were made because I needed a couple short breaks from wrestling with words. These icons are posted because you might need a break from my wrestling with words...

ghost_light found the goat picture, and had the idea for the caption, and she put out a request for someone to icon it. I put my hand up, because I love goats, and this fellow is almost a spitting image of a goat I grew up with (my "kid" sister).

I try to make all my icons unique to me -- but I was giggling so hard at ghost_light's joke that I had to keep this one (Besides, my user name is a contraction of "Capricorn-Unicorn", so... yeah).

Thalia, the muse of comedy and idyllic poetry -- in other words: stories with happy endings, and poems about the small details of everyday life (in contrast poems about war, or poems praising the gods, or mourning the fall of the powerful). So if the muses really have become specialists in particular fields -- like university professors -- Thalia, here, is clearly the dean of my department. I'll be using invoking Thalia as an illustration for my arty posts and comments.

I especially like your double unicorn icon. I noticed and admired it the first time you used it on my journal.

Hee! Yes. I now plan on shouting "Double Unicorn!" whenever I see goats in real life, particularly if I can introduce young children to the creatures. /incorrigible.

ghost_light has a wry sense of icon humor, and asked for the caption and the rainbow. Even as I was doing the fiddly bits of trying to mask out the sky around the goat (so many corners and curves!), I kept bursting into giggles.... Which, since it took several hours, is impressive longevity for a silly punchline (I'm also glad that I'd downloaded the hippie-style font "Flower Power" for another project, 'cause it's perfect for this).
