With a few weeks to kill until the next Beta of Ubuntu 10.04 why not stoke your creatively-sapped juices by re-creating the new Ubuntu 10.04 default wallpaper in Inkscape?
Popular Spanish design site cursorlibre.com have offered up a step-by-step tutorial on recreating the aubergine-inspired wallpaper from scratch.
If you don’t speak Spanish you can view a (in places bizarrely) translated version via Google @ this link.
Worth a few minutes of anyone’s day – and be sure to share your attempts in the comments!
