Introduction

Postby lejimi » Thu Jun 28, 2012 2:38 am

Hi !

My first post here so I introduce myself. I'm a man, I'm 40 ans I leave in France near Bourges (in the centre). I've been using Ubuntu since 2007 and Inkscape for about three years.

I worked during 4 years as a graphic designer in a small silkscreen printing workshop and I'm now jobless. We worked with Adobe CS2 but I showed to my workmate that Inkscape can do a great job with its bitmap vectorizing tool. I also installed GIMP on my job computer because it avoided the boss to have to buy another Adobe licence. Despite all this, it seems I coasted him too much :-) (to say nothing of free computer mending...)

For a year or so I've been implied in the making of the web comic the Grey (http://www.peppertop.com/greys/) as a translator to French. I've sometimes to tweak the graphics a bit in order to make it "frenchier", and I occasionally add an Easter Egg of my own. It's great fun and it allows me to improve both my English and Inkscape's skills.

I read much, sci-fi, crime novels, but classic literature and history too (a recent interest). I'm fond of music, particularly jazz and English seventies' Rock (The Who, The Beatles, Caravan, Soft Machine, Yes... ) I play (a bit) the bass guitar.

Welcome to InkscapeForum!

Ah yes, big fans of The Greys here! Plus 2 other recent French speaking members here, and some older ones too! Also, we've recently had some members having trouble with designs for t-shirt. I think they have found other solutions by now, but if the questions come up again, maybe you could help. It sounds like you will fit in quite well!! Please feel free to share your work, if you like (in Show It Off section) :D
