Hello, My legal name is Michael A. Peters. I will on occasion upload vector graphics mostly related to herpetology that I believe people may find useful to include in papers (academic or otherwise) where scalable graphics are generally preferred over bitmap. On the domain pipfrosch.com anything I have here will also be available as EPS and PDF images, both with text when applicable and without text for when you wish to use the typesetting software (e.g. LaTeX) to add the text over the image for font consistency in your paper. PNG images will also be available there that are generated with care rather than just automated bitmap resize.

Anything I create and post here at wikimedia will be CC BY-SA 4.0 [1] (or newer) and with respect to compliance with the attribution portion of that license, you can either refer to my legal name of Michael A. Peters or to Pipfrosch Press. Please include the A. in Michael A. Peters, there are many named Michael or Mike Peters, including a famous comic strip artist, a current comedian, and the lead singer of the Alarm.

What I upload here is a labor of love, I am not a graphic artist. I use a text editor, calculator, and browser to hand-code SVG. I am not able to figure out how to use Inkscape and I can not afford Illustrator. Photographs I release under a Creative Commons license I prefer to do as CC0 at Pixabay - https://pixabay.com/en/users/AliceWonderMiscreations-5944034/ but I do not post often there either.

Thank you for your interest in my Scalable Vector Graphics.
