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”.

You should be seeing 3 images wich in fact are our icons. Select one, right click on it, then Get info:

Click on the small icon as shown in the screenshoot below:

Go to the upper menu hit “Edit” -> copy:

Go to the folder you want to change it’s icon and open it’s “Get info”. Make sure you have the small icon selected as shown below then open “Edit” -> Paste:

You should now have your icon folder changed:

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!

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 ).

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.

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!

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

“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

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.
