GIMP love to be slowly taught.

ETA: Keep up the good work!

Solfy is awesome.

This board makes me do strange things.

I don't know what GIMP is, but it makes dino sprinkles talk, I'm all for it.

It's like free Photoshop. I don't find it to be user friendly, but there are some good tutorials online.

Don't you need a Linux box to run GIMP?

Nah, they make it for Windows where it's even more of an ugly abomination than on Linux. Haven't used it in a few years, so I suppose there's an outside chance it's gotten better, but I'd steal a copy of Photoshop before I subjected myself to using that program again.

I used GIMP to cobble up my avatar. Unfortunately, all the tutorials I've found are almost impossible to use on dial-up, so my skill level is growing painfully slowly. I just push buttons and adjust parameters randomly and see what happens as a result. Still, it's easier to accomplish stuff than by using MSPaint.

I dunno, you can make some pretty amazing stuff in MS Paint. Check out this masterpiece:

(See, I'm gonna be rich and famous with art from MS Paint really soon. Any day now, in fact.)

I'm teaching myself to use Blender and Gimp at the same time. You should try and eventually Blender your Gimp.
