Last I heard he is a Ferret, maybe we should google it.

Ok. I can buy that.

He's kind of a chubby ferret though. :mrgreen:

Wilber is a GIMP. Not supposed to be a known animal. Look under "Publicity", the 3rd paragraph: http://www.gimp.org/about/ancient_history.html

Maybe he's a crab, haha. :mrgreen:

A "crab"!? :hehe

Most of the references I could find. Say that Wilber resembles a coyote. I also found the same Wilber reference as describe above, which claims that Wilber is a "GIMP". I couldn't find any references about what a "GIMP" might be that made any sense to me.

Come to think of it, a coyote mascot named Wilber for Gimp. Makes just as mush sense as a penguin named Tux does for Linux.

I also found this...

A "GIMP" doesn't have to be anything, that's the point. That said, I did come across conflicting answers. It seems that GIMP.org would be a fairly reliable resource though. Perhaps not. What would I know, I'm just an amateur GIMPer.

Look like maybe he is a coyote. Well that works too if the original authors of Gimp named Wilbur after one

Thank you Isabella, I made paint brushes out of them if you want them.

I've put those up on my site (hope you don't mind). Wilber-ferret is my favorite Wilber.

Yeah I know. :hehe

I used a "Bing search" instead of Google.
I guess that Wilber could be whatever anyone would like to imagine. You're "Wilber-Ferret" certainly illustrates this fact.
I've seen you're Wilber-Ferret before, on one of the GC banners. I wasn't sure what it was, now I know. You've done a really great job with it's creation.
I've always thought that Wilber was some kind of dog, but I think it's open to interpretation and ones imagination.

Maybe we should start a Wilber Wardrobe thread. I think it would be so cooool.

What about these two from way back when

Thank you Molly, you're very generous. I got from you some of them and I keep them in a fold as I love them in little brushes. I'm sure I'll use them in any composition. Currently I'm empty of ideas and I love doing what all of you create, at least I try it. :tyspin

You are welcome Issabella, these are my wilber brushes if I didn't post them before.

Thank you so much, Molly. I'm happy with your brushes. :clap
