330 of 365 is American Switcheroo #Inkscape #play

 

American switcheroo
American switcheroo

The other day, my friend Tim McGee was asking about using tools like Inkscape and the GIMP to switch out faces on famous paintings, such as American Gothic, with those of his friends. I gave him a short demo with two anonymous faces I found on the web, but I decided to use the very same technique to simply switch the faces of the father and daughter in the painting.

My good friend Robert Mangold reacted to my recent adbuster about Burger King with the thought that he expected to see a commando heart ready to fight. I loved his idea, and may still directly sketch that out, but it inspired me here to make a heart attack more in the vein of what he was describing than what most of us think about with the phrase “heart attack”. Thanks for the inspiration, Rob, as always! If you like this image, please share it. If you use it, please attribute me, and thanks! (cc-by lemasney)

This is just simple node editor play with letterforms in Inkscape.

324 of 365 is a truth about life #Inkscape #typography

 

On life
On life

Sometimes it’s smooth sailing, and sometimes it’s bumpy waters. I really enjoyed using the bend tool for this application in Inkscape.

322 of 365 is a love tap #Inkscape #illustration

 

Love tap
Love tap

Just one definition offered at Urban Dictionary for “love tap” says “The (sometimes) gentle nudge of the car behind and/or in front of you that occurs in the process of good solo parallel parking.” I just thought you might like to see that illustrated.

320 of 365 is a memory #Inkscape

This is a very recent memory of a visit I made in Princeton, to a space that absolutely overtook me, both visually and emotionally. It’s amazing what can happen in the hands of a skilled architect.
