(Free Software) Open Source Inkscape: vector program
Manipulate Vector Images with Open Source Inkscape [via lifehacker.com]
All platforms: Inkscape is an open source vector editing program. If you are looking for a free alternative to the Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape has a host of features that make it worth taking for a spin.
I haven’t tried it myself, but it looks like a great place to start. You could also use the basics of my pen tool tutorial with it, I wrote with it Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop in mind, but vector graphics generally work about the same.

Thinking about rebooting my forums

My message board Untitled Image started way back around 2000 on EZboards as a manga style art critique community. It was later restarted on phpBB hosted on a friend’s hosting account around 2002 refocused on art critique in general. A few years later the database was transfered to punBB and has been moved from server to server, and now has an archive of 32,900 posts.
The dilemma I have now is how to breath live back into the forums. I am pondering a “reboot” and starting fresh without any archived posts. I am also considering making the focus on casual creativity, a place where busy creative people can show their art to help keep that creative muscle in use.
