This week, I had the pleasure of creating the latest Inkscape update while Martin recovers. It covers recent improvements, Bug Accelerator progress, community extensions, and ways you can help support Inkscape.

If you've got elements that need to remain the same throughout your #Inkscape design, consider "cloning" them rather than duplicating them. When the original object is modified, all its clones are as well, making it easy to keep elements consistent. inkscape-manuals.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cl...

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.
