Self Introduction

[Klaatu and Gort]

Daniel,
Hi.  Inkscape is a pretty powerful app, so I'd check it out first.  It also
is the subject of a great number of screencasts over at
http://screencasters.heathenx.org/ so that might be a good learning
resource.

The other big one, I guess, is Blender, which is insanely powerful and
diverse, great for 3d modeling and a lot more.  There is a great "Noob to
Pro" series of WikiBooks available from wikipedia.org that you might want to
check out.

GIMP is the other big one.  Don't know of any books but if you know
Photoshop you know the GIMP.  There are many books on the subject.  I hear
some guy named Klaatu did a fair little intro to the program for the show
Linux Reality at
http://media.libsyn.com/media/linuxreality/linuxreality080.ogg

Hope this helps, and good luck!
