Hello,


My names Gator Valle, I'm from Vancouver, BC. I'm fairly new to using the GNU Image Manipulation Program and was introduced to it by my roommate who is a big time believer/advocate for anything/everything "Open Source", and while I was about to hire a local graphics designer to create a logo for my PodCast. My roommate suggested I keep my money and instead buy a 60 day wow time card for my level 69 twink human rogue (but that's another story) and to just create my own logo's and graphics.

Before I discovered GKH on youtube I had spent an entire day trying to figure GIMP out on my own, and with not much luck. I found some helpful websites, but they were all very linear and dull, I was needing more of a visual/audio walk through as I'm more of a "right brained" person.

One thing lead to another and here I am, a month into my journey of learning the ways of becoming a GIMP Samurai or a GIMPJA (you choose) although, after seeing what can be accomplished w/ GIMP I doubt there's an end to mastering it.



I write cyberpunk fiction, not the super fantastic silly kind where everyone is living in a virtual universe, my stuff is manga...uh..."Ghost in the Shell" uhh.."ERGO PROXY"...I'm a huge fan of the works of Nihei Tsutomu (google!!!) and my work is dark, seedy, edgy, sexy, extremely technical and very much for the thinking man and women..not your little green men on motorbike cyberpunk.

I also am about to start my PodCast series, one man show, will be covering all sorts of stuff CyberPunk related, not the cheesy stuff.....-_-.

So yeah, that is who I am and what I'm roughly about...I use msn messenger and am all about networking in real time so I also utilize Ventrilo.....etc..etc..etc..



I look forward to being a productive member of this site and of it's forums,



Cheers,

- gatorvaLLe
