They Might Be Giants got lost driving around

So I want a Lost icon. I want an icon of John Locke, Island Shaman, with the caption 'Uncle Scar, you're so weird.'
I wanted the 'backgammon eyeballs' shot from the dream in Raised by Another, but even if I could find a screen cap of that (which I can't) I am reminded from looking at it that it's not as dramatic as I remember it in my own head. (Which is obviously why I need to learn to paint. Or photoshop.)
And anyway. Even if I could find an image better than this one here I can't use my desktop so I can't make an icon anyway. Soooooooooooo I thought if one of my more creative friends had a few moments and felt bored and happened to whip something up, I might be inspired to bake cookies.
Anyway. I've put way too much effort and thought into this and now I'm going to go do something else equally unproductive.

Of course, the main reason I couldn't find a better image is because I'm an idiot and looked in the 'promotional images' albums on lost-media.com rather than the screenshots from the actual episodes. q:

Yeah, something like this cap, courtesy of Tavella is what I was thinking. And I have more people plotting more icons. (: I may have to pony up for the fifty icon package.

What I want to know is where you got that lovely coyote curled up on the ... car seat? Or is it on a bed in a house? My eyes are aging...

Yes, to answer your question, I had the address. I was just too dippy to figure out it was a livejournal until now. I've friended you, hope that's 'kay.

Hi! That coyote is curled up in a 'Max' (the name of Portland's light rail public transportation) car up by... the airport, as I recall.

*squeak* Okay, I found an article with the story. (:

(You had the address already? You're very clever.)

The "Commuter Coyote" described in this article (Canis latransit) is currently being researched by Scoop biologists.

I'm not usually a fan of puns. But if it involves coyotes....

Hee. I like it; my only thought is to maybe change the color on 'weird' to something less like the background color.

I'm a bit late on my reading here, but I'd be happy to whip up icons for you, if other's haven't already done your bidding. :)

A couple of people have talked about it, at least, but they have lives or some such crap. (: So only the one result.

Which one was that?

And just let me know what ones you want! :)

It's this one, that I referenced in an above reply.

Which is pretty close to what I was looking for, but the color on 'weird' blends into the orangey background.
Um. The fabulous Miss Ellie just bought me the fifty icon package so I'll have lots of room to add stuff. AND the fabulous Miss Cindy just put my desktop back on the network so I can once again make the damn things myself!
So I'll take whatever comes, and maybe think of some myself, and still probably have plenty of room left over. (:

Well alrighty then!

By the by.. I remembered that I had a couple I made for you a long time ago.

And this.. enjoy!

Let me know when you've got them please, so I can clear the space off my icons. tx!

Okay, got 'em. (:
