Hi! My name is Angie, I&#39;m in the US. Most of my experience has been in fine art and in the past few years I&#39;ve slowly been learning digital art. I was able to ditch the photoshop habit and now use GIMP for the majority of what I do. I&#39;m starting to get a grip on inkscape. I joined the  fedora art flickr community, and I&#39;m <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30991136@N04/">housegirl_photos</a> there.  <br>
<br>As far as applicable skills, in the past I&#39;ve mostly done fliers and posters for people, and I enjoy that a lot. My GIMP is somewhat strong, and my inkscape is weak but improving. I&#39;ve never met sodipodi before seeing it mentioned in the art team mentors list of expertise. <br>
<br>I have lots of ideas, many of them very bad. But enough are workable. Most of the time. I try and be gentle when I offer critique, but when receiving it I really prefer to the point honesty. I don&#39;t need warm fuzzy from someone who is trying to help make me better. <br>
<br>As for where to start now that I&#39;m here, it&#39;s a huge environment and half the time I&quot;m not even really sure I&#39;m looking in the right places... I would not be offended if anyone points me at something I probably missed, or just flat out tells me what to do until I get my legs under me!<br>
<br>Thanks so much!<br>Angie<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
