Welcome to

solstation Inc.

As a hobby, I started making astro icons for my personal LJ. Then the frustration set in as I spend countless hours searching the web for images. Because of that experience, I decided to setup a one-stop graphics journal just on subject matter dealing with nature/fantasy objects and outer space.

I did not create the images. However, I did size or enhance them to use as icons and backgrounds. As a courtesy, credit the source indicated on the entry or reference

solstation if you use any of the graphics. And please, no hot linking back to this site.

Entries are tagged the month they were posted in my old icon journal. An example: all 'icons 02 series' were entered/posted in the calendar month of February. Note the reference number on the entry when looking at graphics.

Comments on the items you take are always appreciated since your response will give me an idea what is in demand. If you do have any questions on the site, leave a reply on the welcome post.

REMINDER: This journal is members only, which means you have to join the community to view the entries.

With that said, just join in the fun of discovering our universe and browse away.

Icons Examples:

Wallpaper Examples:

Icons: Bases are 100 x 100 pixels unless indicated. Banners: 600 +/- pixels and under. Wallpapers: Generally sized 800 pixels and under. I fashion mostly non-animated icons and all graphics may be customized. Animation will come in time as I learn more about the process involved. On text-I do text on a limited basis and mainly for my own use. But if you want a icon customized, let me know in a comment and I'll see what I can do.

NOTE: 1. Depending on the artist, similar variations will occur throughout the collection. 2. The older entries are strictly astro-graphics where the more recent are a combination of space, art, and fantasy. 3. Updates are on a monthly basis or whenever new sources are available.

Disclaimer: All the icons/wallpapers were made as a hobby of mine and to benefit people on Live Journal. I do not claim to have created the original images or profit off them in anyway.

CREDITS: All icon/wallpapers were derived from several sources including Photobucket and these reference links: http://www.guidescope.net/index.htm, http://hubblesite.org/gallery/album, http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/archivepix.html, http://www.eso.org, http://www.astro.princeton.edu/~rhl/PrettyPictures/NGC, http://www.spacetelescope.org/index.html, http://aida.astroinfo.org, and http://www.noao.edu/image_gallery.
