Took me a while to put traditional thinking in check. With my digital adventure I started with GIMP and Inkscape. They were there waiting to be used. I stopped aspiring to Adobe and what "professionals" use. Open Source is quite the thrill, not quite uncharted territory these days, but still the bias of others persists.rnohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11654341084026249099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389916522124818068.post-88783231298951300192009-02-17T22:00:00.000-08:002009-02-17T22:00:00.000-08:00I wish you the best of luck.

Myself and a friend and roommate are both animators, graphic designers, web designers, and anything else we can manage to get our hands on and do professionally and/or as a hobby. We have both been trained using the tools such as Photoshop, 3D Studio Max, Maya, Illustrator and the like. We both use personally and professionally (when we can) OpenSource software such as GIMP, Inkscape, Blender, Audacity, etc. At the moment we are working on setting up a website for the open source artist. Maybe some of the void that you discovered, (and other such as ourselves discovered) will be filled by your experiences and what we hope to bring to the table through our site. I wish you the best of luck in your discovery, I know it has been a constant ride of discovery and excitement for me.ciyrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03268732995087523445noreply@blogger.com
