let the controversy begin :-)
This style was pretty trendy in 2004. its a hybrid of the distressed/metro-sexual looks. And I'm embarrassed to admit I think I have a pair of jeans & shirt somewhere with the same 2second mongrel print-work on it.
So... why did I slaughter the comfort of your eyes ?
Because Inkscape makes it so easy !
Thanks to the calligraphy pen, inset/outset and simplify commands this style is more easy to emulate with Inkscape than any other vector illustration program.
There are starving indie-punk kids out there right now making their band t-shirts with this stuff. And they are paying ( or at least their universities are ) for the proprietary software their art is made with.
Anyway i thought id just throw this around as an idea. let me know if it gets approval
note: I'm happy to create a completely different about page. I understand there are several conferences coming up and it might be useful to have our next release looking as professional as possible.

Why, I like it, if only because it's a departure from our habitual style. I still want to tweak it layout-wise, but I think I'll refrain from it this time, just for a change :)

No, you did not hurt my eyes, I read some design magazines from time to time, so I am used to it. :) This astetics is as you say very trendy at the moment and I like your artwork. Is your intention to create new pieces of about artwork or is this final? Keep up the good work! - Andreas
