Greetings and welcome to the Official Gimp Dome club on deviantART!
This will be a showcase of our members' talents in various Open Source programs. We firmly believe that you do not necessarily have to pay exorbitant amounts of money to create works of art, and through this gallery, we hope to prove this to others.

The Dome is back up and running!

After much anticipation and a bout of the nasty flu, the GimpDome is back with a whole new feel! Be sure to stop by and check out all the new changes. Droz/Hillbilly has more improvements in the works, so be sure to check them out, too.

Mission Statement
The mission of GimpDome Online Communities is to provide all digital designers with a friendly, active community dedicated to the use of Open Source and free software. We empower these designers to utilize their skills for professional or personal ventures, as we strive to provide the best assistance and encouragement possible.

Through an active forum and IRC channel, GimpDome's goal is to always offer help and assistance to those who ask for it. A variety of site-sponsored weekly challenges through a wide range of Open Source programs provide our members the opportunity to sharpen their skills further. Our desire is that people, the world over, will discover that there is no need to buy expensive programs to create works of art.

The tutorial and resource sections of GimpDome are extensive. Covering several major programs as well as few that are lesser-known, we offer step-by-step detailed processes to aid in the us of these programs. This will increase the knowledge base and sharpen the tools of our member's skills while they share in their growth. Often files are shared so others can see layer by layer how the work was created. With encouragement through contests, tuts, helpful staff and members, we will continue to help others grow in their talents while having fun.
