So I thought that today I’d show you another way of using Inkscape — as a workflow design tool, and as a way of working out physical ideas visually in two dimensions. This is the current 7.1 media setup in our living room, though it has not changed much in the last few years. I’m really excited about the new things that are coming up, especially GoogleTV, and so maybe soon I’ll sketch out my new ideal living room media workflow.

All I can say is that I’ve always loved Monty Python.

This is another sketch in Inkscape using a Wacom Tablet. There’s a load of symbolism here, I’m almost sure of it. 🙂

Here’s a wacom based sketch in Inkscape of an off brand soda can. I used the calligraphy tool exclusively, varying the width of the lines thick to thin as I worked. I really love how the buildup occurs in translucent lines. It’s like working with wet pastels or watercolor crayons, but with the ability to easily erase or modify the lines. A very fun and forgiving technique.

So my good friend and sometime collaborator, Craig Smith, asked me to look through my fonts to see what I thought might be a good match for his soon-to-be-released CD of electronica. He passed me the existing cover art and notes, and I gathered from the work and from his description that he was looking for something dark, edgy, and crisp. I gave him a list of about 12 fonts as a sample, and we whittled it down to this set of five. I was very happy to be asked, and I love the idea that I might be mentioned in his notes. Thanks for reaching out Craig, and congratulations on the project!
