Bouton's Xara Stuff: Volume 3

[Igor01]

Ahoj, Gary,
možno 50 krokov je lepšie, pretože 14
samozrejme pracuje pre jednoduché tvary,
ale ani zďaleka nie je nástrojom siete

Good one, Gare. A fun exercise. Hope this is what you wanted.

[Gare]

NOICE!

But the payoff isn't my critique or direction: it's yours, you created it, darn, but you're good!

All I did was find the image!



My Best,

Gary

I was rummaging through some clipping in a folder I didn't even realize was on a drive, and discovered a small, blurry, low-res clip of some shapes. Not usable for anything except an eye chart, so I recreated them:




I think they make cool, graphic icons and text stuff like ornaments for call-out quotes.

And I see no reason to keep 'em to myself. See attached.

Mods: I'm not posting them on the ClipArt area, because no one visits there. I'm serious—look at the lack of hits the last time I posted there.



My Best,

I'm serious—look at the lack of hits the last time I posed there.

Therein lies the answer, it was your pose!

Those are interesting shapes, Gare.
Thanks.
Few people seem to draw anything on these graphic sites anymore. I guess everyone is playing on their phones. It's too bad, one just doesn't seem to see the interest now.More than a few have closed shop and gone.

Sad, but true, Graham.

But sad.

Physical users groups gave way to forums, to social media. Post a bad photo rather than a profound reply to friends.

Tech has become a consumptive device for far too many. Yeah, mobile devices, mostly phones. More than 50% of phone users text. A very small percentage of owners use the phone to make and receive calls. Our nephew felt email was too slow and too much of a hassle, so he didn't replay to us when Barbara's dad was too old to drive and the car plates needed turning in.

He also didn't see the purpose in owning a workstation. So I showed him how I create animations and he told me he could see all the animations he wants on YouTube.

He's 23, BTW.


Okay, it's lamentable, in the literal sense of the word. It's not a pity, it's not a shame, it really doesn't affect me that no one will download free stuff crafted by real artists on TG.

I can't fight the entirety of our culture.

Not until someone is really, deeply hurt when someone tells them they aren't curious enough, and lack imagination.

My best impression an archetypal Olde Phart: You damned kids get off my lawn!!!

[Gare]

Funny guy, acorn.

You want my job?
