Recommendations For Online Art

For Online Art / Graphics / GFX, there are many paths you could go.
For example, Instead of paying the standard $500+ for Photoshop, Why not use GIMP and Paint.NET?
They are great alternatives.
I user GIMP For Avatar / Signature making and Paint.net for Drawing.
It is fairly simple.
