After I downloaded and installed Inkscape last year, I didn't really know what to do with it. I played around a bit with the tools and they reminded me of the ones in Macromendia Flash (a software I'm horrible at).
One day, I decided to use Inkscape to 'replicate' the designs I see around me. I started with the Malaysian flag (only the star and moon parts though), some unidentifiable shapes and a magazine cover (PC Magazine Malaysia). Just simple stuff, nothing that a 3-year old couldn't top.
Slowly, I moved to 'replicating' things that are slightly more challenging. One of the results is what you above. It quite simple-looking, but it did took me some time to finish. Especially the speech bubbles, which were built using ellipses and distorted triangles (no template for speech bubbles in Inkscape).

Next project: a sign that goes, "Unoriginal 'replicator' at work."

What about posting the original SVG for others to learn or use?
Hi Jeff,
You know what, that actually never occured to me. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll see what I can do.
