145 of 365 is a womb with a view in #Inkscape #tshirt

Womb with a view
Womb with a view

My very good friend Kelly Lake and her husband Ed were recently blessed with twins, and I can’t think of anyone more deserving of a shot at motherhood. I love the fact that she’s got a double shot, and I’m cheering them on. She is part of the 365 project over at http://www.facebook.com/365sketches and she knows I’m always looking for sketch ideas for this project. She said “So… Ed has this t-shirt idea that I think if anyone can make it possible YOU can… he said, ‘you should get a t-shirt with a window on it and two little baby faces pressed up against the glass’ I guess in a ‘window on the womb with twins’ what do you think?” I said I loved it and that as soon as my current queue ran out, I’d get on it. Here it is, and I hope she loves it! Hugs and kisses, Kelly!

144 of 365 is a jolly burger in #Inkscape #design

Jolly Burger
Jolly Burger

The other day I was in Princeton, NJ sitting on Witherspoon and saw someone walk by with a stylized Jolly Roger but instead of a skull, it had a cupcake in its place. I was struck by its quirky sensibility, though i must say I still am not sure what it means. Death to cupcakes? Death by cupcakes? Down with sugar? I’m so sweet it’s poisonous? I’ll never know, but I loved it, and decided to make my own with a hamburger. Mine might be a warning to those with an unwatched hamburger that they should keep one hand on the bun and one hand on their sidearm when I’m around. I might just be a burger pirate.

I’m taking part in the graduation ceremony at Rider University today to publicly celebrate my successful acquisition (with honors) of the Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership with a concentration in Communication that I acquired in December of 2009, and I thought it would be fun to explain how that began. In 2007 I had a short conversation with one Kathleen Pierce, a very good friend and a major influence, who suggested that I should pursue my MA at Rider. I said that I wasn’t sure what it would do for me, and that I wasn’t necessarily interested in any of the graduate programs I knew about at Rider. She asked me if I knew about the brand new MA in Organizational Leadership with concentrations in communication and technology, and I said that I didn’t. She handed me a brochure and went on to convince me that it was a very good fit for me, and would benefit me greatly in the long run. I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to Kathleen for giving me a gentle but firm nudge. It was just the thing I wanted, and I just didn’t know. I’ve learned so much, and my life and thinking has been thoroughly altered. I’d also like to thank Liza Watson, the chair of the MAOL program, who has become a good friend, and who inspired my love for research. I’d like to congratulate all of my successful cohorts, like Ayo, Watts, Jillian, Michele, Laurie, and the rest. Best to you in your endeavors! Finally, I’d like to thank my wife Dawn and my family for allowing all the late nights of writing, studying, and reading, as well as their encouragement.

Playing again today with the 3d box tool, just trying to get a feel for it and what it can do. In this case I left the converging axis point on to get classical perspective. Enjoy!

141 of 365 is a climbing wall in #Inkscape #design

Climbing wall
Climbing wall

So today, I continued using the 3d box tool if only to become more familiar with it. I started playing with the parallel toggles and found that you can choose to have classical perspective or isometric perspective according to the toggles. So I decided to make a pattern, a continuous wall of blocks like Q-Bert battled on top of. Then, I envisioned someone trying to climb up them, and thought “what an incredible task!” So I found some images of people climbing as source material, and using the calligraphy tool, sketched out a climber. I gave her a shadow, and called it done. It is a great personal metaphor for the struggle and potential accomplishment of some recent and upcoming projects. Hope you like it.

140 of 365 is an apartment in #Inkscape #design

Today’s sketch is an urban dwelling, a comfy corner home, a stacked abode. I was inspired to use the 3d box tool, which I must admit is not used very often by me. In the next few sketches, I’m going to try to focus a bit on this tool in order to see what it has to offer me and how it can extend my style.
