System Of A Down - Lost in Hollywood - Old Flash

Set the way back machine to the late 90's early 2000's I was really into Flash. Like web development it provided a great medium for stretching both my creative and technical muscles. Like many Flash enthusiasts my copy was cracked. I "started" a ton of projects in Flash. Heck, I started a ton of little projects in this time period; animations, games, 3D models, etc ... And the worst part is I don't have any of the working files for any of this stuff! That's the really frustrating part.

Experimenting with Inkscape

Open source programs can be very good or ... not so good. But it's free. So there's not much point in complaining.

This one so far is quite good. I read complaints that Inkscape can be slow and I imagine with larger projects this may be true but, so far. It seems to work quite well. The interface is easy to understand and the program seems to work well.

In just about an hour of tutorials I was able to reproduce this old image I drew in Flash some 10 years ago using Inkscape.

The new image is an SVG so, that's cool.
