This is also appropriate in our Developer forum, but I figured the artists here would appreciate this too:

Blog | Graphicpeel - iOS Icons Made in Pure CSS

This developer made a batch of iOS icons using just HTML5/CSS - no graphics used. I've been trying to keep up with all the changes that HTML 5 affords, but this just blew me away.

Heh. Totally unusable in Firefox (obviously).

If I can ever get it to load, I'll take a look, but it's cool someone thought to do this.

Heh, whoops.

Should have mentioned only viewable in Safari or Chrome. Rendered great in Safari 5.

Huh? Just clicked the links above (both mine and Eug') and they both went to valid pages. Here's what I see:

Looks like his webserver ate it:

It's up again. Just took a look in Safari. Pretty frakking impressive. I'm not sure it's something I would ever want to get into, though. I mean, I'm far more into drawing images. If my continued relevance ever requires me to start manipulating CSS and divs like this just to create an image, then I'm outta here. I'm just not interested.

Still...props to the geek for figuring this stuff out.

Funny, that's almost exactly what a designer friend of mine said. I keep trying to convince him that you still get to be an artist, it's just that the tools have changed. I don't think he's buying it.

It's not unreasonable to think that there would be software that lets you draw it, like with Illustrator, and then export it as a CSS graphic.
