Creating an ImageIcon from others ImageIcon

Question

Hi,
I want to write a method that create an ImageIcon object from two ImageIcon objects passed.
ImageIcon createImageIcon(ImageIcon img1, ImageIcon img2) {
ImageIcon img;
return img;
The returned ImageIcon displays as the two img1 and img2 placed side by side.
Thanks very much,
Charly

Thanks to camickr and stevops,
this is my working method (mainly the camickr code).
     public static ImageIcon createImageIcon(ImageIcon icon1, ImageIcon icon2) {
          int width = Math.max(icon1.getIconWidth(), icon2.getIconWidth());
          BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(width, icon1.getIconHeight() + icon2.getIconHeight(), BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
          Graphics g = image.createGraphics();
//          g.drawImage(icon1.getImage(), 0, 0, icon1.getIconWidth(), icon1.getIconHeight(), null);
//          g.drawImage(icon2.getImage(), 0, icon1.getIconHeight(), icon2.getIconWidth(), icon2.getIconHeight(), null);
          icon1.paintIcon(null, g, 0, 0);
          icon2.paintIcon(null, g, 0, icon1.getIconHeight());
          g.dispose();
          return new ImageIcon(image);
     }Bye
