He has drawn this comic, Pepper and Carrot, using free software like Krita. But that&amp;#x27;s only the surface level of his contribution to FOSS.&lt;p&gt;He has pioneered a collaborative approach to comic translation in an industry where most publishers respond to volunteer translators with legal threats. (See [1] for the dominant sentiment among conventional comic publishers.)&lt;p&gt;Dozens of FOSS projects owe wonderful illustrations and mascots to David Revoy, including all of the initiatives by Framasoft (a French &lt;i&gt;association&lt;/i&gt; focusing on software freedom). They are characters for communities to rally around, and can make these charitable initiatives and software projects feel more approachable to non-technical people. The open source app Mobilizon has cute cartoon foxes for instance[2], which you can even have as your online profile picture[3]!&lt;p&gt;Add to that a myriad of educational videos and blog posts about both art in general and doing art with open source software and you can perhaps see how passionate David Revoy is. Well, so concludes my little accolade to him on HN! I wish him the best of luck with his new comic.&lt;p&gt;[1]: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.koreatimes.co.kr&amp;#x2F;www&amp;#x2F;culture&amp;#x2F;2022&amp;#x2F;03&amp;#x2F;199_314538.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.koreatimes.co.kr&amp;#x2F;www&amp;#x2F;culture&amp;#x2F;2022&amp;#x2F;03&amp;#x2F;199_314538....&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;[2]: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;joinmobilizon.org&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;joinmobilizon.org&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;[3]: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.peppercarrot.com&amp;#x2F;extras&amp;#x2F;html&amp;#x2F;2020_mobilizon-generator&amp;#x2F;index.php&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.peppercarrot.com&amp;#x2F;extras&amp;#x2F;html&amp;#x2F;2020_mobilizon-gene...&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
