45 icons - assorted MLB

[ayrdaomei]

I can't sleep, so what the hell. Forty-five icons I made over the past season and never posted anywhere.

Most are textless because the text fairy abandoned me months ago, but if you'd like a blank of a texty icon, lemme know. I might still have the PSD file. Feel free to modify textless icons; I used to care about that shit, but honestly, whatever. Want, take, have. Live long and prosper. May God stand between you and harm in all the empty places where you must walk.

Behind the cut
01-15 Orioles
16-21 NYY, 1 Boston (guess I topped out on Boston icon love after the ALCS last year)
22-29 Astros, 1 Ecks
30-45 A's (Harden, Zito)

09. At least when he's sober.

[Bad username or site: rickenbacker / @ livejournal.com], the last three were my tries at your Zeet arm-fetish icon, but I wasn't blown away by the final results. I'm still working on one for you ^_~ Btw, all this time, I've heard about Z's birthmark but I never noticed it until I was making #45.

i'm so giggling at #11.

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

**laughs** I have a feeling good Christian boys don't say things like that, but whatever :-P

[catslash.livejournal.com]

Taking number twenty for my JournalFen account (it will come in most handy at fandom_wank) and number twenty-three for myself. I knew there was a reason I felt the need to clear some space tonight. Will credit in keywords, of course.

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

**laughs** I'm glad to know #20 will get put to good use :-P Thanks for taking a second to comment ^_^

[rickenbacker.livejournal.com]

42 is just adorable. and I'm loving all the arm action.

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

**laughs** You are not wrong :-P

[flippinfroge89.livejournal.com]

Yay! a Bedard icon!

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

**laughs** Erik icons are few and far between, huh? :-P

Is your userpic from Black Hawk Down? (I love that movie.)

[unlovablehands.livejournal.com]

Mmmm. Richie Harden. (Which, man, too much time in DC Comics fandom makes me go "You know, fifty years ago? You'd've had 'Dick Harden.'" And some days I'm mighty sad we don't. :D) I am vastly tempted by #37.

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

"You know, fifty years ago? You'd've had 'Dick Harden.'" And some days I'm mighty sad we don't. :D

**laughs** It would have been too perfect. Alas, we're all twelve, and eventually he'd have gotten tired of the snickering ^_~

[biscayne.livejournal.com]

Number 7 cracked me up. Hilarious.

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

**high-fives** Yay! :-P It's a little sad when you're the only one who's amused by your own icon ^_~

[trish-the-dish.livejournal.com]

i snagged a bunch of o's and zito ones...will credit when used

thank you for feeding into my baseball icon addiction :)

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much for letting me know ^_^ And you're most welcome - it is, of course, my honor and pleasure to serve :-P

[panicqueen.livejournal.com]

...mind if i take 33-39 for richie? i'll credit you. :)

AND OMFG ZITO BIRTHMARK. I WANTS TO LICK IT.

and your astros icons? i love you. a lot.

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

I don't mind if you take them at all; especially since I pretty much made them for you :-P I actually left them in a comment to your Nov 4 post about 10 days ago? But I figured you'd never get around to seeing them any time soon that way, so I deleted that comment and just added them here ^_~

Btw, here are four others that didn't make the cut to get posted above, but you're free to have them if you like:

and your astros icons? i love you. a lot.

**laughs** Your boys are just so cute! Especially Adam. When he's fallen down.

[johnnybvo.livejournal.com]

So two triggered this long dormant memory of the Oriole Bird coming to my school some time around the third grade. The point was to exhalt the joys of being drug free, but since he doesn't talk it played out more like an 80's U2 (or was that INXS?) video with him holding up big poster boards. One with "Say" the other with "NO!" and he would hold one up after the other to get the whole assembly screaming "SAY NO! SAY NO! SAY NO!". He stayed at the school all day and would walk into various classrooms and act all goofy with the teachers and class. He even played kickball with us in gym. It was fucking awesome. I had an 8X10 glossy for a while but it was lost as things often are over time.

The oriole bird is the reason I am not strung out on crack today.

Thanks Oriole Bird.

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

That's 'cause Birdie owns! **laughs** Your friend and mine ^_^

[mokulen.livejournal.com]

Ah, they're all so nice. Taking 23 & 27. :)

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

Thanks for commenting! Enjoy Face-In-The-Ground Adam :-P I was thinking of making an entire series of icons like that, but it seemed like it would be a little mean ^_~

[kmousie.livejournal.com]

Taking #24 because, you know, he is. ;-) Will definitely credit, m'dear. Lovely work on all of them!

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

I'm so pleased you liked one enough to lift! Enjoy ^_^

[xxhouse-lovexx.livejournal.com]

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

#19 was made using the image from this Boston.com wallpaper (http://cache.boston.com/images/sports/redsox/2004/1006_hug_800600.jpg) ^_^

[http://users.livejournal.com/_faded_hopes/]

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

Thanks for letting me know ^_^

[feverspell.livejournal.com]

Oh my......Harden!Hotness!


I snagged quite a few......they rock!

[feverspell.livejournal.com]

Also, what style is your layout? I really like it!

[jedislider.livejournal.com]

Oh man, your icons are freakin' awesome. I'm taking #23 and #44. Man. Just awesome, and those Orioles ones are just gorgeous.

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

You're very kind to say so. I'm thrilled to hear that you liked them, makes me glad I finally got around to sharing them ^_^

[faith21.livejournal.com]

lmao at #23... sometimes you just have one of those days

taking #18, because how awesome was that catch?! will credit.

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

I must admit, that was a very cool catch. I'm actually still futzing about with the original image, because I don't think that icon does it any kind of real justice ^_~

Thanks for commenting!

[planetgal471.livejournal.com]

Took #2. Thanks!

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

Awww, that's so sweet of you to say. Icon-making is nothing but fun for me, so I'm thrilled, and honored even, when people like my stuff enough to use for themselves ^_^ Thanks for the comment!
