Preamble to a GIMP Tutorial: Mock-up Tees with GIMP.

I could never be considered a design guy. I was always behind a keyboard banging code not pixels or paths around. Life likes to throw challenges at you just by the simple decisions you make along the way. I decided to give up on my IT job, due to mental illness issues, and pursue a more artistic route. It’s not “outta” the blue. I can talk loads about my mother’s side and the artists that have come out of that branch of the family. I decided that I like T-Shirts so much I would go in the business of doing my own and, why not, get some extra cash out of the whole ordeal. Being on benefits really doesn’t help went you want to start a business. T-Shirts by the quantity are not that cheap. Fabric paint is not hard to get at, if you are doing a couple of them. If you go mass production, crap, no price/quantity balance at all!!! Had no problem at all on getting very good at doing vector based images to cut stencils from with Inkscape . Even got quite good at handing the scalpel-like knif

And the sucking commences

I wanted my first post to be from the command line. I just love the command line and it will rule forever. Thanks 4 listening, Gus
