Bouton's stuff, Volume 2

[Gare]

Thank you, Graham.

I wanted to get excited about creating great stuff while Xara is loading!

[Gare]

Here's an example—feel free to download this, it's a TGIF Gift, let's say—a sunset Barbara took when we were in Hollywood, Florida a few years ago.

Fool Disclosure: I did edit a few places; Inkscape solved most of the work for me, though.



If I have anything relevant to Dear Xara, I'll be sure to post it there. This will be my last O/T here; the following is just going to be my chicken scratchings!


My Best,


Gary

This is the first chance I've had all this year to sit d9ow, undisturbed, and just draw.

I used two "helper" programs, but this basically a Xara Designer piece.

Nice image but, I suspect, a digestive challenge.

Your work is inspirational, Gary. I've noticed you started posting some animations to Youtube again too, which is always a treat.

Still wondering how those images are done with the triangular shapes.

[Gare]

Wonder no longer, Larry.

DMesh for Windows, totally free

I literally just bumped into these comments, Larry. I'm not sure why I'm not getting notifications in Outlook.

Off to investigate!

Have fun triangulating!

Barfing out loud!

(BOF!)?

Thanks!

Here is one that is only partially mine. I discovered the original, scanned at 1 bit per pixel, too small for just about anything. There is no copyright; I offer the Xara version freely as a gift to the community.



For anyone who is into the origins of symbology, this piece, very sdimilar to the eye in a pyramid on the back of U.S. currency, is an early Christian symbol, not a demonish one as suggested by the superstitious.

The eye is the all-seeing eye of God. The pyramid is actually a triangle representing the 3 expressions of God: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.


I'm not inclined to revel or attach any super significance to symbols, precisely because they are symbols, representations, icons of something that is often intangible.

Anyhow, I like this particular, woodcuttish version, as a nice design.

Please help yourself.

My Best,

Gary

Hey,

Our new neighbors next door have a tot that they casually referred to as "The Little Monster".

Nice, huh?

Anyhow, I created an image, mostly inspired by the Pixar film Monsters Inc. the parents could use as an iron-in decal for the little monster's t-shirt.




The paint strokes/shmutz around the picture was added using Painter after I'd exported the drawing to bitmap.

Best,

Gary

Thanks for that information Gare.
