I’ve always been able to count my many fears. I’m afraid of dying, scared of heights, frightened of losing the people I love, and so on. I’ve never considered fear of the unknown itself to be scary though, strangely. I love the possibilities in what’s yet to come. As long as it’s not death, falling, or funerals, etc. 🙂 Hope you like the sketch.
This is a great and inspirational quote in my opinion, from a great master of action. I love the puzzle-like way that these letterforms fit together, and the way that emphasis happens with color and focus. More than anything, I love the message that knowledge and willingness alone are not enough, however important. Action is key.
This is a fairly simple image that is all about Inkscape’s ability to divide and conquer, visually speaking — making an easy task of taking a photographic image and separating it into distinct graphic components, then emphasizing those components. In this case, I made a video about it to share how I did it. Hope you enjoy it!

So this is a layout for a box of stuff, made easily in Inkscape due to an extension called extensions/render/foldable box, with which you can make simple folding box of any dimensions you wish. i decided to use it to bring light to the fact that I myself have way too much stuff. I’ve never been happy about it, but I think I’d really like to do something drastic about it now. The voice in the block there on the right is the disgusting guilt-driven voice that we all often hear from advertisers and marketers when they rely on the simplest forms of pursuasion: fear uncertainty, and doubt in one’s self. Marketing and advertising are out of control in this country, and require more responsibility than is often mandated in the work.

This is a video of my introduction to the 365 Sketches project that I gave at the opening to the show at Princeton Public Library in June of 2010. In a nutshell, this project is one on which I do one daily digital drawing using free software called Inkscape. I believe the video works to explain the processes, people, and issues that were encountered, and I highly recommend giving it a watch. Thanks!
This is another case of using the free three dimensional application from Google named Sketchup in my workflow to introduce 3d letterforms into my Inkscape sketch. I went a bit further than the last time in using color, mood, and background in order to push the forms forward a bit. Hope you liked it!
