I really love Inkscape’s clip and mask tools in the object menu. It allows you to have clean crisp lines like those you find in a font come together with a wildly sketchy line from a wacom tablet and make a beautiful, interesting combination with very little effort.

Autumnal Maple Leaf

I made this maple leaf using Inkscape and my Wacom tablet. The chills and strong winds of fall are really coming on now here in the Northeast US, and I wanted to capture some of the great sights I’ve seen lately.

Scenic Vista

The Blue Ridge Mountains are beautiful. I get to see them several times a year, as my in laws live in Virginia in the Shenandoah Valley. On my last trip me and the boys took a ride along the scenic route to stop and take in the grandeur. The next time you see a “Scenic Overlook” sign on your busy way, try to find the time to stop. Every time I have, it’s been so worth it.

So this is a portrait of my son, David, from a photo of him I took during a trip to Virginia. He’s such a cutie pie, but he’s got an amazingly serious face that he puts on sometimes. I thought this image captured that intense seriousness.

I am ashamed to say that I lost track of who asked for this, but I hope they’ll remind me in the comments, etc. This is one of my favorite birds, with an amazing song, and delightful appearance.
