312 of 365 is a #coffee cup #Inkscape #drawing

Coffee cup
Coffee cup

Mom always had coffee brewed and waiting on the counter, often cold. It sometimes sat for hours and hours, but she would just put about 8 ounces in a cup, microwave it for a minute and 11 seconds, and set it up with an entire scoop of hot cocoa mix, a packet of sugar substitute, and an entire scoop of non dairy creamer. I was at least 17 before I knew what coffee actually tasted like, but I drank her concoction from the age of about 10 on. Hers tastes far better, but it makes everything else in the world taste a little plain.

As regular followers know, I lost my mom on Sunday. I imagine a lot of my remaining 2010 sketches will be influenced in some way by her memory. She was a fantastic cook, and had glorious Sunday roast beef dinners with 6 vegetables and homemade gravy. She taught me a lot about the art of seasoning, and I’ll never forget it.

This is a metaphor for the way I feel about they way we treat each other sometimes. If you find yourself grinding someone down to the tread, please stop. 🙂

300 of 365 is a fighter in pieces #Inkscape #illustration

 

Fighter in pieces
Fighter in pieces

This is part two of a diptych telling a fight story. Here we have a fighter in pieces, ready to fall apart. In Inkscape I made this by creating the silhouette of the fighter, then using the bezier tool to create a shard that I duplicated and flipped on the fighter from top to bottom. I used these shards to do a path operation that cut the fighter into those shapes, which I then moved this way and that with the selector tool to make a shattered and sliced appearance.
