I really love Inkscape’s clip and mask tools in the object menu. It allows you to have clean crisp lines like those you find in a font come together with a wildly sketchy line from a wacom tablet and make a beautiful, interesting combination with very little effort.

The Blue Ridge Mountains are beautiful. I get to see them several times a year, as my in laws live in Virginia in the Shenandoah Valley. On my last trip me and the boys took a ride along the scenic route to stop and take in the grandeur. The next time you see a “Scenic Overlook” sign on your busy way, try to find the time to stop. Every time I have, it’s been so worth it.

I am ashamed to say that I lost track of who asked for this, but I hope they’ll remind me in the comments, etc. This is one of my favorite birds, with an amazing song, and delightful appearance.

Media workflow

 

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.
