Loving that I’ve been creatively blocked lately and that these animal text creations have given me a way to stay active despite the block. Thanks to all of you for your comments and feedback!

227 of 365 is a Pomplamoose lyric [illustration] #Inkscape

Fly fly away (Pomplamoose)
Fly fly away (Pomplamoose)

Fly fly away (Pomplamoose)

This is a lyric from a short Pomplamoose song. A jingle, really. It seemed perfect for a little 30 second commercial for an airline. Really fun, cute stuff from Nataly Dawn’s collaboration with Jack Conte. Check out the YouTube video below to see why I think they’re so great. The jingle is at the end of the video after the song “Another Day”

A diagram of my heart by John LeMasney via 365sketches.org #cc #design #heart

So this is a diagram of my heart, indicating the damaged, repaired, strengthened, slowed, shocked, relieved, compressed, stinted, and massaged parts. I thought this was a kind of touching way to share some memories, and one more way for Inkscape to help me make my ideas clearer.

165 of 365 is an apology to all of you in #Inkscape #design #sorry

An apology
An apology

I don’t have an excuse. You all deserve better. I know we’ve had this conversation before, but I promise you I’ll try to get more sleep tonight and the next night and so on. Let’s start over today. Right now. This moment is new for us. Really. Zzzzzzzz.

Also, this is a response to Dan Wadlinger who recently asked me to create a grunge styled sketch, and while I have some others in the silo, this was especially inspired by him. I used a rust texture in conjunction of the letterforms to create a rough looking overlay in an urban grunge style. Thanks, Dan!

Dan Wadlinger, a friend and co-worker at Rider University suggested this sketch:

Ok John, in honor of the many graduations, I want to request a graduation sketch. A graduated graduated cylinder. Basically a graduated cylinder with a mortar-board. And a smile.

Thanks for the suggestion, Dan. Here you go!

My Mozilla Contest Entry

So this is my entry for Mozilla’s 2010 t-shirt contest. Mozilla is Firefox‘s parent company. You can see the entry in context at , and vote for it, if you like. They asked for a design that promoted key elements of Mozilla’s vision, which is openness, innovation, and community, all things you may know I hold very dear myself.

How I made this image about Mozilla in Inkscape

In Inkscape, I took these four words and put them in via the text tool, then converted them all to paths. Then, I used the Bezier tool and the pencil tool to connect the letterforms and create tendrils which I saw as life forms seeking out connection. I saw the design as airy, connected, and creative, things I love and respect about Mozilla. If you like this design, I’d love it if you could vote it up at

About Mozilla

“Mammon slept. And the beast reborn spread over the earth and its numbers grew legion. And they proclaimed the times and sacrificed crops unto the fire, with the cunning of foxes. And they built a new world in their own image as promised by the sacred words, and spoke of the beast with their children. Mammon awoke, and lo! it was naught but a follower.”
