Icon Library

Apart from the actual religious belief behind the meaning of Christmas, this season is a reminder that we humans are made from the very same essence, and we all occupy the same planet. Be it Jewish, Muslims, Mayans or whatever, there is no reason to perpetuate intolerance and bitterness. We are in the end, just one. From the bottom of our designer hearts, we wish you a merry Christmas full of love and happiness. Merry Christmas from Iconshock!

Michael Flarup is one of the most promising icon artists today. We began to notice his work earlier this year when researching for our list of the best movie themed icons in the web, and since then never stopped including his work on our reviews. His creations are incredibly detailed, with  superb arrangement of colour and shape. This is a guy that ever wastes a pixel. Anybody interested in where icon art is heading in the future should keep on eye on Michael. We at Iconshock truly believe this is an artist that will bring many surprises to the industry in years to come.
