Jason van Gumster mostly makes stuff up. He writes, animates, and occasionally teaches, all using open source tools. He's run a small, independent animation studio, wrote Blender For Dummies and GIMP Bible, and continues to blurt out his experiences during a [sometimes] weekly podcast, the Open Source Creative Podcast. Adventures (and lies) at @monsterjavaguns.

Except that isn't my premise. To [over?]extend your car metaphor, it's probably not a great idea to show up in the Carrera if it's your job to sell Corvettes.
And it's not a GIMP/Photoshop thing (though both of those programs could be included in this discussion). I'm talking about the *full* suite of open source creative tools. If you have a bit of time to kill, take a look at the talk that gave at the Southeast Linuxfest (SELF). It's linked at the top of the article. It's a rough overview that shows the completeness of the open source creative toolchain.
Could you expand on this? How exactly does this relate to the content of the article?
