Front page More my art

Here are some graphics that I have made with Inkscape, a free vector illustration program. Inkscape uses xml-based svg, an open standard created by W3C's SVG Working group, as it's native file format. Most modern web browsers, including mobile ones, can view svg-images natively. Some of them better than the others. Svg-format is also recommended file format for line art graphics, like maps and coats of arms, in Wikipedia.

As you can see, Inkscape is a great tool for both drawing and making web graphics. Yes, those ivy leaves have also been done with Inkscape.
