My thoughts and prayers are with you Tabian.
Tabian, I can only join in with the thoughts of the previous posters. That's what I like about this forum - of course it's about tools and how we use them, but it's so much more. There's so much love and empathy floating around.
You guys are the tops. My eyes fill with tears reading what you all have said, I love you all...
I was going to post this, but, then I thought, "This is a post as well, isn't it?!"
A temp office I worked for are 25 years in business, so I made a new logo to congratulate them.
Just for fun and it is cheapier then a gift, they probably never use it, like many gifts, again. ;)
Here's a recent pic I did for a story I illustrated.

This is what I'm currently working on in DP7. Its a detail from a 6 letter text to which i wanted to add a grunge effect. The font I used was a stencil font that already had a spray-paint effect and I embellished this by creating two clones of different colours, both given a fractal plasma transparency with a profile that punched holes through to the two text versions beneath.This method turns the text into pixels, so as I wanted a pure vector set of objects, I used the bitmap tracer to convert back to vector shapes. I had a white outline around the individual letters, and when re-vectorized, some spurious coloured shapes resulted. I changed the colour of the art board to a teal colour to contrast with everything and better to see the unwanted lighter colours. The end result will be a three colour vector grunge text effect. I still have one letter left to do. :)
Bob.

Must be bored on my job. Anyway, this is my first Xara picture. Hope it's big enough to see.
ZEBtoonz, I like this--I like your style. Can I be you when I grow up?
