Hi! My name is Angie, I'm in the US. Most of my experience has been in fine
art and in the past few years I'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'm starting to get a grip on inkscape. I joined the fedora art
flickr community, and I'm
housegirl_photos<http://www.flickr.com/photos/30991136@N04/>there.
As far as applicable skills, in the past I'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've never met sodipodi before seeing it
mentioned in the art team mentors list of expertise.
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't need warm fuzzy from
someone who is trying to help make me better.
As for where to start now that I'm here, it's a huge environment and half
the time I"m not even really sure I'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!
Thanks so much!
Angie
