[Andy Fitzsimon]

Welcome Markus!!!

Have you checked out the wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtTeam ?
 
Swing by #ubuntu-artwork for a chat

right now we are foussed on the icon theme ( before we get to the fun
stuff )  so your GIMP / Inkscape skills would be appreciated.

Cheers for signing up the list and looking forward to your help.

Andy
