How to change icon folders in Mac Os X

Together with the CatWoman icons comes this tutorial for those who don’t know how to change the default folder icon with new ones. I’ll be using my CatWoman icons, so first of all download the zip file, open the folder named “icon”.

CatWoman Icons

I’ve made the icons with Icon Builder plugin the demo version, available for download at www.iconfactory.com/software/iconbuilder. The icons are for Mac user’s only! ( also pngs 256×256 available). Enjoy! DOWNLOAD here! cat_woman_icons1

B&W photos

Every once in a while you came across something that makes you be amazed: it’s called art. In it’s pure form, it is the only thing we do without purpose other than expressing what we feel. This is different for many people. Some paint, some draw, some sculpt. For some it is to capture the emotion of a moment with a snapshot. For some it is to express this emotion in a melody or rhythm. This photos are pure moments and now you can look at this them forever. I don’t even know his name, but he calls himself “:Pap” and I believe he’s from Japan. Go see :pap’s photostream! paps_photostream

Cliché cat fight

Well not too long ago women were wearing long uncomfortable dresses and their main purpose in life was to keep the family together no matter what. We still do that today with the only big exception that today we also have the guts to kick the men if needed (if I may add where they’ll hurt the most… in their ego : P ). cat_woman_fight_small

Wo(w)man artist

… or the Advantages of Being a Woman Artist, a “Guerrilla Girls” manifest with which women all over the world, not just artists, identify with. Felt every word in my years of college. All my teachers were males, all the best students were males… still “working without the pressure of success”. For more information regarding this “group of radical feminist artists” check en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guerilla_Girls. the_advantages_of_being_a_woman_artist

Cat Icon

You can find this lovely black cat icon for download (yes for “free”) on weloveicons.com or directly from the designer’s page yellowicon.com/downloads/. The set’s name is “Halloween” and it’s a gorgeous pack! : )) .. especially the cat. And of course it looks better on a Mac!!! : P cat_icon

Twistori

Twistori is a website that displays posts from the trendy Twitter under tags such as LOVE, HATE, THINK, BELIEVE, FEEL, WISH. I found it very inspiring and liked the social aspect of it. It could be greatly used to make a study on how online communication affects our behaviour. I know this comes as nothing new, but those lines of text can inspire me in the most creative way! twistori_small

Cat Woman rude

Some more of my Cat woman illustrations. This time she was caught on camera while trying to get some milk… she’s got an attitude and didn’t like that so was rude to the camera… Here some poses of her: www.simonamunteanu.com/char.html cat_woman_rude

“But Does it Float”

I came across this online gallery while browsing www.ffffound.com. Curated by Folkert & Atley it displays works of art in it’s pure contemporary form. Looking through it I’m amazed by the multitude of forms that art can have with the help of tehnology. Anything from typography to paiting at : butdoesitfloat.com prt_spencer_higgins_019

Japanese girl

An illustration with a cute Japanese girl who just woke up. I took a picture of the monitor, that’s where the effect is from. I’m currently working on the story around this girl, so more pics of her will soon be available. Her name is Misu wich means “water” in Japan. www.simonamunteanu.com/char.html#3 img3

Recycle

This is a future site about recycling. Meaning it’s going to be a site that shows people why it’s so important to recycle. I also need help on gathering useful information, so any suggestions are welcome. Romania has a real problem regarding this issue and even though this might be just another site that treats this problem, the more there are out there the better! foliage

WAD

WAD as in “We Are Different” is a fashion magazine not like any other. It promotes exclusively urban fashion and it has evolved due to the fact that urban fashion itself growed as a separate market. Today WAD is 10 and prepared itself a birthday event by putting toghether an urban-fashion dictionary in its #39 issue Check it here!. Enjoy! wad_magazine

Cat Woman?

This are some of my recent illustrations. Well the fact that I’m into cats doesn’t come as a surprise I guess… Anyway my catwoman is a modern and fun interpretation, more into milk than into fighting for justice as the classic one ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_woman). kitty_kitty
