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.
I recently came across a detailed DIY article on creating a coffee can lantern, and thought it was a great opportunity to see one’s design in a different, ahem, light. So I imagined what I might like to see flickering and dancing at 10 pm at night, and this is what I saw. I’m looking forward to cutting into the tin and seeing this bird fly a little. 🙂

This is a video of my introduction to the 365 Sketches project that I gave at the opening to the show at Princeton Public Library in June of 2010. In a nutshell, this project is one on which I do one daily digital drawing using free software called Inkscape. I believe the video works to explain the processes, people, and issues that were encountered, and I highly recommend giving it a watch. Thanks!
I recently wished an old friend, and a very good friend of this project, Craig Smith, a happy birthday, and he replied “Thanks John, now how about a birthday cake sketch? :D”. I love that! Done, buddy. You all can use it too. 😉
This is actually Sunday’s post, even though it’s late in the day, but this was the first opportunity I had to be online today. I have posted this elsewhere, and I feel very strongly about the short sightedness of cutting Library programming, databases, and other funding. I understand that budgets must be kept, but it seems like other costs, like million dollar state run college coach salaries could be reduced or removed before dismantling the beneficial programs and positions of many people, because as many have said, that’s a hell of a lot of books. Support your local Library — they need you right now more than ever.
