Excited to share a logo design I made for BluePerch who provide funding for high-impact farmed animal advocacy projects. The logo has good contrast and comes with a HTML style guide. futurehorizondesign.net.au/portfolio/bl... #logodesign #animalwelfare #graphicdesign #accessibility #a11y #styleguide

A sample A4 page with strings of braille letters: bide cadge cab cage decid, and meaningless alphabetic strings of letters. This is part of Lesson 1 from the UEB Training Manual.

For the May Inkscape challenge I made a seamless pattern of some citrus fruits. I hope you all like it. This blog post is about the Inkscape Seamless Pattern template: futurehorizondesign.net.au/posts/2026-0... #inkscape #FOSS #linux #illustration #inkscapechallenge #graphicdesign #vector

a seamless pattern with a saturated yellow background and a square tile of sliced oranges and magenta grapefruits with green leaves fanning out behind them. The view is top down to a rounded slice and uses highly saturated orange and brick red.

Sharing some old artwork because I don't hate it as much as when I first made it. It's a randomart, a visual way of validating SSH keys. Except I turned it into an Atari style weather forecast. #krita #atari #retrocomputing #retro #pixelart #linux

Weather Randomart with five large example weather made of double wide blocky pixels: cloudy, cloud with possibility of rain, cloud with sun, cloud with rain, thunderstorm. A randomart grid is overlaid over a closeup of the state queensland of Australia with icons scattered over the coast and inland in a diagonal. The icons include smaller versions abstracted yellow, blue, or cyan squares representing different types of sunny to rainy weather. Beneath it reads RSA 3072.

A green field covered in dandelion flowers blooming, a circling arc shows the wind trail carrying the dandelion seeds into the sky. The dandelion seeds on the flowers are made using a repeating geometric pattern with blur and small opacity effects applied.

I'm happy to announce I'm launching the world's first HMM or Human Manual Model. Unlike a LLM, a HMM allows users to give tasks to a human via spoken or typed prompts. The human will do the tasks and will even learn how to do the task more efficiently if the task is to be repeated.

I made a pixel art lucky cat and a high-resolution vector version for the Inkscape February Challenge: Make a Retro Gaming Asset. Blog post in the comments. There's time left if you want to try it! #pixelart #ドット絵 #inkscape #FOSS #linux #illustration #inkscapechallenge #graphicdesign #vector

A smiling lucky cat with its right paw raised. It has a red ribbon around its neck with a yellow bell on it. It has magenta whiskers and claws, and its ears are red and magenta. It is smiling. There is a large vector version at 512px size and two small pixel art versions at 32px and 16px sizes.

I made an abstract artwork inspired by the style of Marina Vandra for the January Inkscape Challenge. It represents ocean creatures and primitive lifeforms. Hope you all like it! I'm trying to explore other art styles. #inkscape #FOSS #linux #illustration #inkscapechallenge #graphicdesign #vector

Portrait orientation flat-style artwork. Above and below are reef-like shapes with schools of fish arcing above and pebbles on the rocks below. Between is a light blue floor made up of coral with holes in it. Three elongated frames overlaid on top contain blobby cell like structures in the first frame, rain and pebbles in the second, and a low-opacity overlay on top. Beneath the third frame are floating embryo like shapes that look like question marks.

I got the "verify your age" notice since I'm based in Australia and an under 16 ban has started so I can't view my DMs anymore without a VPN. I don't intend on verifying my age for security reasons, so I've turned DMs off. If you need to ask me something privately, please send me an email.

Submitted an entry to the Inkscape vector challenge for November which is to make a mandala. This one is inspired by First Nations artwork. futurehorizondesign.net.au/updates.html... #graphicdesign #illustration #FOSS #linux #inkscape #illustrator #freelance #brisbane #mastoart #flora #australia

A mandala featuring organic patterns of a sunflower in the middle, dots and squiggles, gumtree leaves and pods, wattle flowers and leaves, and banksia in the outer rings. The outermost ring has sequential lines and dot patterns with concentric yellow circles above the banksia flower and green, marroon, ochre, and beige surrounding it. The mandala has a brown background, using colours of green, pink, yellow, beige, and maroon.

There's a form of computer art called "generative art" that has existed long before GenAI in which art is created with original algos/code/math. It's neat stuff and unfortunately gets caught in the crossfire often.

arXiv will no longer accept review articles and position papers unless they have been accepted at a journal or a conference and complete successful peer review. This is due to being overwhelmed by a hundreds of AI generated papers a month. Yet another open submission process killed by LLMs.
