Frida...
This is probably my most detailed work to date. Make sure you click to enlarge it, because otherwise the jpeg compression makes it look all "furry."
"Jenn as Frida"
I'm not sure what to do next, so if anyone has any ideas, let me know..

More Vector Art...
Vector Art....
So, awhile back I was lamenting to G-Had the fact that there are no free vector-based drawing programs out there. There are plenty of free raster-based programs that are nice (GIMP, etc), but I could never find a vector drawing program. Then, suddenly, I realized that I have at my disposal one of the worlds foremost vector editing packages, ArcView GIS 3.2. That's right, the image below was drawn using industry standard (well, 5 years ago industry standard) GIS software..
Click to make it enormous..

I was pleased, all-in-all, with ArcView's performance. Everything has to be polygon, for scaling reasons (this particular drawing had map units of kilometers, distance units of nautical miles..) It works basically like a low-tech drawing program, except that instead of a handy layer toolbox, you just have to create a billion different shapefiles.
I decided to do this picture, because I know how much Abbie likes it..I thought of doing one of Jen, but I thought that doing curls might be beyond my skill level in vector format, at this point....I will work my way up to curls..
By the way, this image is HUGE. Like Desktop-size. I might have to use this one for my desktop, until G-Had finishes garbage collector Cookie Monster..
