Libre Graphics Magazine

[Joshua Judson Rosen]

In case anyone else was unaware of its existence (I just stumbled
upon it myself, recently), Libre Graphics Magazine just published
its second issue--available for purchase/subscription as dead trees
or (free & Free) download as PDF files:

It's a pretty neat magazine--sort-of an `artists/developers crossover series'.
I really like the general `interdisciplinary dialogue' aspect of it;
oh, and some of the articles are really interesting--in a concrete way :)

... like:

    Pages 16-17 of the current issue (1.2) are an old-school `type this
    program into your computer and play with it' exercise.

    Page 40 begins an article on workflows..., which provides some more
    answers to Bruce's `How does one respond...' question from last month.

    Issue 1.1 also included a piece on making a vector horse into
    a vector unicorn (like magic!)...

    ... and another piece on historian-artistic honesty,
    the conservative bias of Wikipedia, and why it's important
    to acknowledge that, e.g.: it actually takes a lot of culling
    to get a collection of photographs where Hitler never smiles
    charismatically.

There are, of course, also some `how to do X with Y' articles,
interviews, pretty pictures....

It also includes links to reusable media to play with, a glossary of
terms used in the issue at hand, and an index of software referenced--
with screenshots.
