Catchy name for a book, except I'm not doing a book. Someone in another forum I frequent suggested that I do a series of butterflies and the idea took root.
I can't say these are made completely in gimp, but all of them used gimp at some point.

Well I ain't doing 20,000 Rod. Maybe 20 or 30. No, it wasn't watercolors. I don't do well with watercolors.
