A Speed Gauge at 100 MPH
This was an illustration I did of a speed gauge in Inkscape, the open source vector drawing application.

This is a quick stylus based sketch of a coffee cup. This year, I’m scaling back my posting frequency to a much more manageable at-least-once-a-week. I did the sketch to test using my Wacom tablet in GIMP on Linux. Eraser, pressure sensitivity, and responsiveness all work very nicely. I like the resulting energy of the drawing, as it reminds me a bit of caffeine.
We are nothing but chemicals by lemasney
‘Almost 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. Only about 0.85% is composed of another five elements: potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium. All 11 are necessary for life. The remaining elements are trace elements, of which more than a dozen are thought on the basis of good evidence to be necessary for life.[1] All of the mass of the trace elements put together (less than 10 grams for a human body) do not add up to the body mass of magnesium, the least common of the 11 non-trace elements.’

I heart coffee. I decided to do a quick Sunday morning illustration of my favorite coffee mug. I love using Inkscape to do illustration with vector shapes, as opposed to drawing with a stylus. Either are enjoyable, but the building by shapes tends to be a bit more challenging for me. Hope you enjoy it.

Design Course for the non-designer.
Tonight, at 7 pm in the Technology Center at Princeton Public Library, I will be teaching a design course for free to the public about the basic tenets of graphic design. No registration is necessary. In the class, we will discuss color, typography, layout, shape, format, tools, inspiration and more. The increasing importance of visual literacy for communication in an increasingly visual communication environment means that those who are simply using text, clip-art, and other more common tools are making messages that are getting lost among more visual presentations. Come visit us and let’s fix that.
“This workshop covers the foundations of design principles, key (free) tools for design and illustration, and sources for inspiration to help you create the best visual solution for your particular needs. Learn about color theory, typography, layout and more. Instructor: John LeMasney. Skill Level: Intermediate” – Graphic Design for Non-Designers | Princeton Public Library –
