New beginning are like birth without all the mess.

[jackshoegazer]

I have come to realize that my iconographic hobby has gotten out of hand, and thus I am creating a veritable wildlife refuge for my icons, sprouting fully-formed from the head of Zeus. Oh wait, that was Athena.

Anyhoo, lo and behold, I have unearthed the iconomicon from the depths of the, uh, earth, I guess.

In other words, I have conformed in the footsteps of other iconographers before me and have created my own icon community. This way, people who want to friend me for my icons can do just that, and people who want to friend me for my witty repartee can do that and we don't necessarily have to mingle the two. No offense to my recent converts. These two groups are not mutually exclusive. Jacquelyn, a.k.a. antarcticlust christened the community with it's clever and punny nomenclature.

Please, peruse the iconomicon, but be wary the evils and kewl things that lurk in its pages.

Sincerely,
Jack

I often wonder what part of Zeus's head Athena sprung from and whether there was any blood or placenta involved.

I bet it was out of his ears. I think the ear canal and the birth canal are too similar for it to be mere coincidence.

Some medieval theologians decided the Virgin Mary gave birth to Jesus out of her ear, so you might be on to something...

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Jesus must have been the tiniest fetus EVER.

[weishaupt.livejournal.com]

Either that, or Mary had a very large ear canal.

That's an even funnier visual XD

[antarcticlust.livejournal.com]

....and she doesn't even get the nomenclature credit!...

Oooops, I knew I was forgetting something... EDITED!

[antarcticlust.livejournal.com]

That's RIGHT!

You stole a bunch of my user interests. :)

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Yes I did. And mine and a bunch of others :D

[antarcticlust.livejournal.com]

That's seriously cute. 1950's housewife culture and Japanese art prints I can see, but are you really interested in Quaternary Paleoecology? That's hot. :)

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

*I*'m not interested, the Iconomicon has a mind of it's own :D

Oh those crazy Greeks. There was also all those times that Zeus seduced women while in the shapes of various animals. Kinky.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Don't forget Zeus' dad ate all his children and then later was forced to puke them all back up :P

Talk about a dysfunctional family...

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

They're the archetypal prototype!

[ghostwes.livejournal.com]

Good name.

Normally I would have christened the community myself, but intuition told me to call the woman, and she came up with it almost immediately.

Me lurve tha smart grrrls.

I love you icons, but I think I'll stay for the witty repartee. :)

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Ah, your vote of confidence and loyalty is quite appreciated :)

[kiwikat.livejournal.com]

i'm so going over to the new journal because i don't like you at all. i only invite you places and give you things and kick you around so you'll make me icons.

You hit the nail on the head!

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Only a friend as crappy as you could know the keys to my heart, I mean art.
:D
