Acknowledgments

Boudewijn Rempt. You have spent over 10 years of your life making Krita what it is today. Your direction, perseverance, and attitude is the reason Krita has become a tool that so many people are proud to use.

Wolthera van Hövell tot Westerflier. Thank you for spending so much time answering my questions and assisting me. Not only are you a great community leader, but an excellent artist, programmer, and educator.

David Revoy. Your guidance and artistic influence are embedded into Krita’s core. You are an amazing role model, artist, and individual to look up to.

Tyson Tan. You have spent so much time creating the wonderful cover art and assisting the Krita Foundation with all of their projects. I love Kiki.

All of the developers that have contributed to Krita. In an age where many seem to demand money for any contribution, your time and energy are helping the next generation of artists and developers.

The artists featured in this book. This book would be much duller without your creative energy.

Saint Louis Bread Co. (Panera). Much of my writing was done at one of your locations. It was always a joy to get some food, do some writing, and not have to worry about feeling rushed. Thank you for creating an environment for people like me.

Karen L. Tucker. My wonderful editor. After working through this book with you, I realize how much I still need to learn about the English language.
