Dusting the cobwebs off after 11 days OOO is always harder than you think it will be! 🧹🕸️🕷️😴

Why am I so sassy? Christina Aguilera released Stripped 3 days after my 14th birthday. The holy grail of sass!

When we had the idea to bring in some outside designers to help, @laurarbee.bsky.social was LITERALLY our first call.

Chisel is one of the coolest and most unique icon sets I’ve ever seen. @laurarbee.bsky.social knocked it out of the park for us (as usual)! Every @fontawesome.com subscriber will get v7 and its core improvements, but only folks with Pro+ get Chisel, Notdog, Jelly, and the rest of the new packs!

Presenting Chisel, a new icon set by yours truly for the most awesome @fontawesome.com! When @shkspr.bsky.social & @jabron.us asked if I could pack in as much personality as possible, it was game on. And of course, the moment I got full creative freedom, creative block entered the chat. Classic!

April fools is just one giant reminder of how bloody gullible I am! 🫠

After six years of pretending my outdated website didn’t exist, I finally made a cute landing page!! Cute! Progress! ✨ laurarbee.com

Sooooooo excited to share what we've been working on.

Working on an 'icons' icon today and I'm thoroughly bamboozled. A star? A collection of abstract shapes? A swapping gesture? A smiley works so well for emojis but what is the icon version?

Nothing is more cute than seeing your dog wag their tail in their sleep! 😭

My toxic trait is that I believe I could be a formula 1 driver because I can fuck up a go kart track!

Do you ever just have those days when a task that would normally be easy as pie just feels impossible? I know I just need a break, but when deadlines be deadlining!

Just threw on a cap before stepping out for a dog walk then realised I am embarrassingly on brand. Yes I am in fact wearing a duck cap AND a goose tshirt that reads ‘save the arts fuck the tories’ 🙃 quack! honk!

Dogs truly are the greatest gift. I’m just sat working away until I feel something and notice my dog has stuck his nose in my trouser pocket where earlier had a biscuit for him. Lives for snacks! The cutest bean!

Tell me you're no longer a NYC resident without telling me... there has been a siren wailing in the distance for the past 5 minutes and I am ✨overstimulated✨

Most essential part of being an icon designer? Knowing when to stop and take a nap! You heard it here first. My icons are powered by strategic procrastination and immaculate vibes ✨😴

When you create a new person in your dream and then feel sad after waking up because you miss them! 😭

Started a new project today that I am SO excited about. Cool team! Cool product! Cannot wait to share 😎✨

✨👏✨ !!! DOECHII !!! ✨👏✨

Mildly obsessed with hello kitty island adventure! Scratching the acnh itch that acnh no longer satisfies! 🥰

Renovation based decisions will be the death of me. The way choosing between 5 shades of off white or god forbid choosing a tile will send my brain into the most confused state for days at a time. Why is it like this?!

I have never before resonated with something quite so ferociously!

My dog doubles up as an end of work day alarm clock. This is him at 5:37pm staring me down to remind me it’s time to go be a human again! Goodest boy!

Excuse me?! The audacity of my nail tech to be this good! 🔥🔥🔥

Still amazed how transformative a good nights sleep and plenty of water can be. Yesterday I just couldn't, today I am a force to be reckoned with!

Working on a series of illustrations for a client that is centered around mexican food and now I'm just constantly hungry! Hazards of the job!

Last night I fell asleep glasses on and kindle page turner in my hand. Not sure when I fell asleep but I woke up at 1am unsure where I was, who I was and what year it was! Oh the first week back in January will get ya! 🙃

Put all my boxes of Christmas decs back in the loft and I swear my living and dining room just tripled in size!

Felt cute, something something, am cute! ✨

Why must Dads sneeze that loud? I thought I’d just been shot! 🫨

Hi friends! Anyone available for a little chat who has experience going from freelance to a FTE and maybe back to freelance? I’m weighing up opportunities for the NY and would love a sounding board ✨

I’ve had an overwhelming few days, so my brother has told me he’s coming to cook me dinner! He is a warm hug in human form! 😭🥰

It’s embarrassing to admit how many times I’ve dropped my kindle on my face. But because I’m not an overly proud gal… at least 56 🤦‍♀️

Henry the hibernation advocate is here to remind you it’s ok to take a nap! It’s December for goodness sake!

Friendship is free therapy. Just casually getting text “Fear is a natural reaction to moving closer to the truth” on a Tuesday afternoon!

When will I stop singing about how me and Boq deserve each other? When does it end?

Pentagram is getting dragged on tiktok for using ai to produce 1500 icons & illustrations for a government website. Not only is the work sloppy, but it’s not trademarkable bc you can’t prove the source. How is a BRANDING agency selling work that can’t be protected as intellectual property?

Why is working on anything for yourself like pulling teeth. Yet if a client asked me to whip up several icons by EOD I'd have them done in a crack. What is this self torture?

Fixed one bit of damp in my house to only 1 day later find another. Oh the charm of a 130 year old Victorian home! 🫠

I painted my bathroom AND hosted Sunday roast today. Please clap! I am now a shell of a human! 🫠

Hope you’re having a Sunday as cozy as Henry! ✨

Delightful to check back in here and see an influx of friends! HI FRIENDS! 👋

I can’t walk after spraining my ankle on Friday and feel like a lethargic potato! It’s times like this when you realise how much you take the simple things for granted, like being able to move your body! That first time going for a walk is going to feel so sweet!

‘Chisel’ a new icon set by yours truly coming very soon! ✨👀 Loved the challenge of designing with this mixed weight stroke. Definitely a struggle at times! But we love a puzzle!

Friday treat! I gave Henners a man bun! ✨✨✨

Helloooo new corner of the internet! 👋👋👋 Let’s get cozy! ✨✨✨
