Another hello from Ontario, Canada

RobA · **Joined:** Jul 14, 2010 **Posts:** 697

Guess I should post here.

I'm Rob, from the Niagara Region in Ontario Canada.

I've been using gimp for ??? years. I've written 50+ scripts for either personal use or for specific little tasks that would help no-one but me.

I also dabble with inkscape.

My main gimp passion is fantasy map making so many scripts have that purpose. To that end, I am a co-admin at http://www.cartographersguild.com (which has a ton of gimp users) and have written a number of tutorials including Creating an Artistic Regional Map Using Gimp which has had 99700 views since I wrote it back in 2007!

My da portfolio is here: http://ffaat.deviantart.com/

And I love my tablet, even though it is an old wacom graphite 3.

No back story, no front story, no agenda, just a website like many others.

Perhaps a little better ran than most but I may be biased. :cu

I'm getting 1-2 commissions per month - more than enough for my "hobby" right now, as I do have a full time job.
