In the beginning, the idea was a simple one, to make a useful site. I always have written quite a bit on this blog about blogging software, content management systems and building websites, information I think is useful to many and surprisingly elusive in the flood of technical information online. I wanted to give all […]
“How would you draw a face in Inkscape from scratch?”, is the question I was asked, so to demonstrate it, I started drawing a random face in Inkscape and this is what resulted over the following four days. This portrait of an elven princess turned out to be a good demonstration and also a good […]

All good things must come to an end, as does this edition of Comic Konga with this comic. I haven’t been the most punctual participant, but I’m glad I completed the set of five, and that too keeping to my parameters of using the same character. It’s been a great exercise and I will certainly […]

With this, the fourth entry into Comic Konga, I’m practically on a roll. A major part of Vishal’s inspiration to start an event like this was to get people who are not regular practitioners into the flow of making comics. If you stick to it, I think Comic Konga succeeds in that very well. Day […]

The third entry into the latest Comic Konga event is here. A good sign since it’s one more than I managed to churn out the last time I took it on. Day 3: Margin of Error, continues with my brown-paper-bag-robot character. He’s proven to be quite flexible and enjoyable so far and his further versatility […]

After a forced hiatus — I was out of town for a couple of days — my foray into Comic Konga continues. Day 2: Sometimes You’re the Dog, Sometimes You’re the Stick, is a further exploration of the character that I came up with for my first try at the event. He seems to be […]
![What is <strike>Philantropy</strike> Philanthropy? [Comic]](/images/blog/2008/thumb/what-is-philanthropy_t.png)
Vishal recently announced the second Comic Konga. Five days of original comic content to be put up here seemed as good an excuse as any to get me cracking on some new material. So here goes with my first try called What is Philantropy Philanthropy. Like last time, I’m starting a day late, and it […]
