@GIMP_Official @Blender Invest in yourself by downloading and learning these tools: 👉 gimp.org 👉 blender.org Invest in the future for *all* by donating and sharing.

Instead of Creativity for All™ with a subscription, try the new-this-week✨ @GIMP_Official 3.0 and @Blender 4.4, professional creative tools shared freely by people without machines to train or profits to maximize. (One even helped earn a studio an Academy Award 🏆 this month!)

What if instead of selling to the 1 who can/will hire us, our site was a free resource for the 1000s who can't/won't? What would you want see on such a site from a marketing/creative agency like ours? This is still in development. Feedback is appreciated. 🙏

⚠️ Warning: Your creative brain may explode when you see Chris demo the possibilities of @inkscape at #UbuntuSummit youtube.com/watch?v=96qmLf… #FOSS #artwithopensource (🧡 @ubuntu)

⚠️To be clear, we have received much more than we have ever been able to give back to #FOSS projects. Should we mention donations it's not for praise, but to encourage others to give too. Praise belongs to those who take a chance giving away their work freely to all of us.

On the topic of donating to worthy #OpenSource projects and people, please consider Martin. He is doing *fantastic* work on @inkscape worthy of any support you can provide: patreon.com/c/doctormo/ We just increased our donation for a few of you who can't. Give if you can. 🙂

If you can't give, don't feel guilty. Those who can contribute for those who can't. 🤜 🤛

We began donating to @Blender 10 years ago. #B3D has improved so much since then and is now a primary tool for our small creative agency. They're asking for more support so we've increased our giving. Please take a moment to consider if you can give too: fund.blender.org

You'll get to see how @Blender @Inkscape @GIMP_Official @scribus @getwebstudio and more are part of what I call the #CreativeFreedomSuite. Spread the word and go create something amazing!

.@Canonical recently gave me the opportunity to present at #UbuntuSummit. If you want kick the creative software subscription habit 🗑️ and learn how @FreehiveAgency is able using 100% #FOSS 🚀, the presentation is live! youtube.com/watch?v=OXocCV…

Three client sites in progress. All using #WP in some fashion, but with different front-end tools (@bricksbuilderio @getwebstudio @RealOxygenApp). Is this a topic anyone would want expanded upon? Happy to answer questions below too.

Here is the Blender node setup and what the design files look like otherwise.

The logo in this design is only visible as spot gloss finish when printed. Thankfully @Blender makes quick mockup possible. Here is one we did up today.

If you pay close attention, there are some fun additions to the @mozthunderbird website (thunderbird.net) to welcome their new mobile app. This is one of our favorites gems (made possible because @blender is awesome and #OpenSource)

Tomorrow is #UbuntuSummit. I'm making my best case for freeing yourself and others with #OpenSource creative software. I'm not cherry picking the coolest projects, but showing how it really works at @FreehiveAgency. Please come, and stick around for the @inkscape from Chris!

This is happening in one week! Join in person, or register for free to stream my @ubuntu Summit presentation: events.canonical.com/event/51/contr… It's possible that if you attend/watch all your ✨wildest dreams may come true✨, or you'll fall asleep. I can't make any promises. 😉

Thunderbird is turning 20! 🥳 What better way to celebrate than with this stunning video from @FreehiveAgency showcasing the modern Thunderbird - fast, powerful, free and ready for anything.

Hey all, I'm excited to be presenting next week at #UbuntuSummit ( events.canonical.com/event/51/contr…). The goal is to demonstrate an all #OpenSource creative toolkit. Will be talking @Blender @inkscape @GIMP @Krita_Painting @kdenlive @scribus @getwebstudio @penpotapp. Any others you like?

When I got to these two paragraphs I felt heard as a designer/developer. This is absolutely correct and makes me excited for the future of @getwebstudio. #opensource FTW.
