    Ohmigosh, what a great-looking set of art! How much time did that take?!?



    A couple of things: some of the stuff (the colored iMacs in particular) seem SO dark. The tangerine doesn't look orange at all, just a super dark bricky red.







    And his angles/perspective on a couple of things look just slightly off a tad: the tilted-back iPod looks GREAT, but it's little window is square and doesn't match the receding lines. It jars me a bit. Same with the Apple logo on the side of the G5. The G5 is at a really cool exaggerated angle, but the Apple logo looks "plopped on", facing straight with seemingly no matching to the angle the G5 is rendered in.



    But you know what? Those are SMALL little quibbles that certainly don't detract from the amazing work and attention to detail. I'm VERY impressed and I've already downloaded them all.







    Thanks for the head's up!

    you have to like any icon set that includes such arcane things as the froggy mac, the clear SE, the pippin, the duodock, the clear Message Pad 120... the list just goes on and on.



    many icon designers probably promise themselves they'll do something like this, but this is a worthy artistic accomplishment...

    ah, the good ol' days, when apple was trying to make everything... strangely enough, this person's mac fandom page shows their setup and MANY of the lesser known pieces from his icon collection.



    Oldschool Gear!



    including the QuickTime Conferencing Camera
