Once upon a midnight dreary ...

... the Iconfactory came rapping, rapping at my chamber door. Or maybe they contacted me by email in the middle of the day. Whatever the case may have been, they were entreating me to create a few animations to accompany the several existing animations featuring the tiny Iconfactory factory.

When the Iconfactory site received a complete overhaul last year the question was asked, "Shall we continue to feature our rotating factory animations?". Quoth somebody in charge, "Nevermore."

One can, however, still have a peek at my various variations on the factory by looking here. And the cleverer among you have probably guessed that my clumsy references to Poe mean that I also created a few animations of a Halloweeny flavor: Behold the hairy, scary Werefactory! Gasp at the carnage which awaits an unsuspecting Mealfactory! Shudder at the untimely, unceremonious demise of the Deadfactory! And last, but not beastly least, hide the children from the tummy-churning pixellated gore that's in store for those who dare cast their stare in the direction of the Fleshfactory! Easy, stomach.

IF's new layout is great, though sometimes I miss those Factory animations. Each time they changed themes or seasons, I would reload the page to try and see all the animations. Somehow I totally missed Mealfactory! O_O Excellent work!

Where's the Falafelfactory?

For some reason, I don't think the IconFactory is what it used to be. It's gotten too 'commercialized' or more like.. well.. a factory. Corporate.

I miss the playful 32x32 icon days... :(

Wow - I honestly had no idea you did many of those, Brian.

Every time I saw a new one I saved it. Of course, they offer them all up in an archive, but I was saving them before thinking they may disappear for good, for no good reason.

I actually rather miss the lil guys. Yours were always at the top of my faves.
