Last year in April, I began to experiment with scalable vector graphics (SVGs). I posted some of my creations in THL here and here.

I just wanted to post a few more here from recent experimentation. All are vectorized versions (using the scan bitmap to path tool) of existing graphics created with Inkscape. Most are grabbed off the web, but some are from my own camera. Enjoy!

trump.svg: Donald Trump. Color scan. (Don't agree with his policies, just thought it'd be fun to vectorize him).

That's it for now. I might have to improve the way images are shown on EiS, but hopefully those images will display well.
