Secret of all your icons and graphics

I make my own as well. I use Paint Shop Pro. There are many out there though. I'd suggest doing a search by avatars. That is the easiest way to find a bunch. Some sites have many to choose from especially if you are looking for ones based off shows/movies/actors etc. Good luck in the search

I make all of my own graphics. I use screencaps I take myself on my computer and edit the images in either Adobe Imageready, GIMP or Basic Animator for animated graphics. What kind of icons are you looking for? There are some sites that have pre-made ones for use on forums and blogs and things. I can give you some links, depending on what you're looking for.
