These are pieces done for the Illustrated Objects project at lemasney.com that were made in Inkscape.
I have always had cats since the age of about 9. I don’t have anything against dogs, really, though I was bit by a doberman when I was very young, and it may have had a lasting psychological effect. At any rate, I tend to feel calm when I have a cat around, and I wanted to capture the calm I feel in this illustration.
Maybe you have a cat you’d like a portrait of? You can get one right now by emailing me at lemasney@gmail.com
There’s nothing quite so tasty, in my opinion, as a cold, ripe, crisp golden delicious apple in the bearing-down heat of the summer sun. I captured this one using Inkscape’s calligraphy tool.
This was an illustration I did of a speed gauge in Inkscape, the open source vector drawing application.
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 have tried to find an especially easy meal to get about 500 calories in a good balance of fat, carbohydrates, and protein. It should accomplish the following:
I think I found it.
In a 2 cup bowl, combine granola and peanut butter into a paste, dice and add apple, add raisins and mix.
It is addictive. It’s so delicious that I crave it, and have had it every day since I first made it. The fruit adds a bright sweetness, the raisins add a chewy licorice depth, the granola brings a crunchy texture, and the peanut butter holds everything together. At 8 grams of fat, 10 grams of protein, and 87 grams of carbohydrate, it is very close to my nutritional percentages that I try to get for the day. The sugar is all fructose, and it has no refined sugars. The ingredients are local and organic. I could make the raisins myself, and have a plan to start drying fruit this season. It’s raw food, whole food, good food. 440 calories for the whole bowl.
I really loved this particular definition of designers:
“A designer is an emerging synthesis of artist, inventor, mechanic, objective economist, and evolutionary strategist.” – R. Buckminster Fuller.
