Inkscape, Gimp and a program called Artrage that I have on my mac. It's a nice little program with a realistic interface - you can pin references around your work just like you would in real life. Oh also I found an online SVG 'translator' to vectorize my drawing

However I am *so* not a designer - I mostly use pencil and watercolor. So a bit of a learning curve. Also my work is usually a naturalistic look, not the crisp cartoon style that we use for illustration.

I'm thinking of doing some photo-editing instead, there's a few nice public domain images which will look good with a green background.

Yeah, me too. Unfortunately, he is ill, I understood from his manager, which should explain his silence ;-)
(meanwhile trying to get my drivers sorted on the desktop so I can actually apply some processing power....)
