I don't like contests. :)
But I do like Inkscape, freedom and free stuff. Art and drawing is all about being free, so what if instead complicated design and overused effects to obtain shiny things,Inkscape would use a simple (and simplist) and honest (even if it's bad, but who decides that) drawing ? Inkscape has great tools for freehand drawing. The new pencil from 1.0 version will sure be very well received. Also, Inkscape doesn't need to sell the software by using some trendy design image. It's a free software and a damn good one! Use an honest image. An image that suggests freedom in creation and freedom as a state of mind. "Draw Freely" is such a good slogan! :)
Congrats to all the people here and in the Inkscape family.

Love it :)
Beautiful
A very interesting concept!
There's something to it I can't pinpoint. It evoques me something I could not remember...
I've tried to search for Magritte, Matisse, Dali, and such; but I think you have something particular and personal going on...
Keep up the great work, it's beatiful
Alright. You have my vote
I would love for this to win, but I'm afraid that certain (flashier? crowd-favorite?) entries will cause a kind of bias to the election. for the next contest that's held, Imagine if we had MORE THAN A SINGLE VOTE to spend? Like if you could vote for 4 or 5 entries, perhaps with a sequential-preference-grade (Rank#1-most favorite, Rank#2-next favorite, etc).
I wish that more entries like this one could have a more honest chance of succeeding. And rightfully so, because here's an example: a crowd-favorite image takes a whopping 40% of the vote as Rank#1. However, a less-flashier entry scores quite well with 65% voting it as Rank#4. Those kinds of numbers give a better breakdown/overview of how pieces are actually received by viewers. But without something other than a Winner-Takes-All ruling, some actually-favored pieces will slip through the cracks without receiving a single vote (even when truthfully it might score 65% of voters).
