Returning to the Gimp once again, to enhance and crop my world

Searching for a good image editor for Mac is not easy (when you’re a tightarse like me who demands that all downloadable apps be free). I must have searched the interwebs for 3 or 4 hours for a good free program and now have just realised that I must return to the Gimp. My old friend, that nasty floating-4-window mind-job of a crappy program. I suppose the Gimp is a fitting name - you love to despise it, the dirty little secret that you don’t tell your fancy ‘photoshop’ and ‘aperture’ friends about, but at the end of the day it fulfills your needs when you need it to.
And this means I can get another step closer to finishing this website once and for all! I bought this domain a year ago in a fit of optimism and forward thinking, and it took that long PLUS a boredom filled snow-week off work to finally get me moving on it.
And since beginning yesterday morning I feel like I’m on a roll with this thing. I got the camera out and took some pictures of the studio space, in all its shabby glory. Being generally terrible with a camera I was shocked and awed by the results - i.e., they’re not half bad as far as pictures of walls go. Decided to make the little paper bird my mascot and logo for the site, seems fitting since he hangs above every recording I make. If anyone can draw a better one for me, I would sure appreciate it!
