Buuf is a set of simply amazing icons in PNG format (ready to be converted to ico) done by one of my favourite artists, mattahan. I’ve been watching his icon work for some time (since his Gant series). His work is original and organic — it’s surreal yet stylish and functional. I could imagine these icons used in a wide variety of applications and websites
Buuf has been released under a CC(NC) license. You can download them in PNG format from mattahan’s DeviantArt page. Did I mention that the icons are awe inspiring and that there are 1500 of them?
Buuf is an overly ambitous icon set created by digital artist Mattahan. He started making it when GANT had reached it’s apex and was starting to decline in popularity. Many routes were considered before the current look of Buuf was decided upon. But the always visionary Mattahan knew that simply expanding Aquarilla, Orangatang, or Aquant wouldn’t be enough.

these are awesome! i have been trying to find free icons to use, and this is one of the nicest sets i have come across.
for those like me who may not be icon designers but need free quality icons, there is a whole network at http://www.iconbuffet.com. it’s a free sign-up, and the gist of the site is trading icons for tokens you are granted. you also get free deliveries from the icon chefs. they also have pay for sets available. nice site, and a great network of designers and knowledge.

are you keeping a list somewhere on your site of free icons (beyond the tags and recent posts sections)? is there a way we can link to you? please let me know! and let me know if we can contribute links as we find them. i listed the iconbuffet one, but if that’s not allowed, my apologies.
