Hi! I just wanted to share with you an extension I developed that might be useful for some of you, specially for inkscape web designers. Its a extension that has two functionalities: - Create image placeholders in any size and width with random images from unsplash <https://unsplash.it/> - Create random user avatars from uifaces <http://uifaces.com/>. Both plugins and documentation on how to install them are available via github: https://github.com/Xaviju/inkscape-placeholder I have also written a blog post on how to create inkscape extensions for non developers: https://medium.com/@xaviju/inkscape-extensions-by-non-developers-for-non-de… with what I have learned developing this extensions. Since I am not a python developer myseff it can contain some errors so I will be glad to receive feedback and corrections on how to improve it or PRs to fix any code bugs. Of course, any suggestions or ideas are welcome as well. Regards!

Hi all! You can find a Dungeons & Dragons-themed cartoon (which may be understood by people not versed in it) that I created in Inkscape here: http://www.shlomifish.org/art/d-and-d-cartoon--comparing-lances/ You can find the sources for it in a repository on BitBucket, and the rest of the credits on the page. It may no look too professional, but I'm a far cry from a professional graphics artist. It proved to be quite popular in the D&D subrredit: https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/3mko6w/dd_cartoon_comparing_horse_lan… Regards, Shlomi Fish -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Shlomi Fish http://www.shlomifish.org/ Free (Creative Commons) Music Downloads, Reviews and more - http://jamendo.com/ The Angel of Death cannot keep up with Chuck Norris’s throughput of killing. — http://www.shlomifish.org/humour/bits/facts/Chuck-Norris/ Please reply to list if it's a mailing list post - http://shlom.in/reply .
