It's October! (Even if it's so warm it feels like June). Time to start working on my Five-0 Fright art. I already know what I want to draw and it's going to be ridiculous! :D I just hope I can pull it off.

For the time being, have a meme I found in

sirona_gs's journal.

1. Reply to this post with 'hot cocoa', and I will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. ~~This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.~~ TELL ME ABOUT YOUR ICONSES.

	This is my oldest icon. It's Lupin and Jigen from Lupin the Third, one of my favourite Japanese cartoons. I was reading this Italian tribute years ago, saw this panel and just had to scan it, add a little heart and turn it into an icon. ♥ Also, I loved the fact that the "tribute" was basically authorised fanart published with permission from the original author (Monkey Punch).
	Another very old icon. This is Watari from the manga "Yami no matsuei". I used to love that manga and when I saw this drawing, I thought it would make an appropriate icon for when I'm feeling grumpy. I've thought of throwing it away and upload a new icon, because I don't remember anything about that manga, but the expression is just priceless.
	The two main characters from the Italian comic "Lambrusco & cappuccino". Why, yes, I like reading comics. I only read a few now, but I used to buy SO MANY when I was in school and university, I started selling some of them last year and I still have heaps.
	Daria from the MTV cartoon of the same name. I loved Daria when I was in school, I used to think of myself and my best friend as a sort of real-life Daria and Jane. I use this icon when I'm feeling nerdy and know-it-all.
	Japanese lanterns. I love Japan and hope I'll visit it one day. I liked the composition and colours in this photo (the bigger version used to be my laptop background before the H50 team took its place). I use this icon when I write about travels or when I'm feeling dreamy or mellow.
