Pencil is a free, open-source vector and bitmap graphics animation/drawing application. I have not had a chance to try it out just yet, but will do so in the near future and pop a review on the ol’ blog.

Adobe has this new online tool for creating color themes, Kuler that is not only really useful, but fun (at least for us color geeks). You can save and share your color themes with other visitors, and even rate them. And for you OS X 10.4 people out there, be sure to snag the Kuler Dashboard Widget. There are also RSS feeds of Popular, Highest Rated and Newest themes and other cool goodies offered here. If you’ve ever used a digital color wheel before, this one is pretty similar. And really well done.
The real hook is browsing through the other color themes and being able to save and share them with like-minded others out there. You get the whole shebang: RGB, HEX, CMYK & LAB values as well as all sorts of models to choose from: Analagous, Complimentary, Triad etc. The Dashboard Widget even has a button to plop the HEX values to your Clipboard.
I’ve just started to play around with this myself, but there’s just about no learning curve, so get on over to Kuler and start Kulerin’!
I found this OS X screensaver, Fenêtres Volantes, via this Top Ten OS X Screensaver list. While there were some cool screensavers on there, and definitely worth checking out, the number one pick was far and away the, well, number one screensaver.
I guess this has nothing to do with cartooning, illustration, design or productivity, but how about creativity?
