Inkscape About Splash Installment Two

And here is installment two. I was struggling with some Escher mimicry, but alas, it fell apart. Inkscape's 3D box tool requires full three point perspective to pull it off.

This one took a dive into some stuff I was playing around with last night - patterns along paths. Couple that with some abstract styling that I worked on many moons ago, and the result is as follows. Apparently I am in a heavy minimalism phase.

Inkscape About Splash Installment One

As you may have guessed by now, I have become a bit of an Inkscape zealot.

Many of you may know that the version 0.46 is rapidly approaching, and they are seeking submissions from the crowd for their about splash. I figured that I should at least give it two kicks at the can, as best as my hackish abilities allow. The following is the first installment for the contest.

It is largely a reworking of the chrome technique I spent developing for the Mythbuntu project. As with the requirements, it makes use of the SVG filters (blur) and uses linked offsets. It is a little constructivist inspired with a heavy does of negative space and a splash of asymmetry.

Next up, probably a dive into the psychedelic 60s or something else radically different stylistically...

Things Get Silly on the Mailing List

In the ever fruitful progression of Ubuntu Art mailing list matters, things were getting a bit silly. Needless to say, I couldn't help myself. The following is a quick jobbie I did up for fun. It was the original idea I had for the "Most Hated Bug" website, but I didn't pursue it as the folks decided to run with thorwil's work. I still couldn't help myself from sketching it up.
The following are two other bits that were passed on. The first is a nerfed version of the attempted 'fun' approach. This direction was selected. Good work on thorwil's part.
