Due to my experience and time I spent in these forums, I think im eligible to become part of the Art Department.
My experience in still image editing ranges from gimp 2.6.6 and Photoshop CS4, I have been editing images for more than 3 years with these 2 programs (mainly photoshop), and before the three years I have been doing minor things with Paint. I have been in these forums for almost a year and I am the one who started the Signature Shop and brought color and delight to these forums in the beginning of my membership. Although most people do not know it, I own 2 video editing softwares, Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After effects and know basic knowledge in video editing, like removing green screens, cutting bits and pieces, adding and changing audio. I also know various effects and own some effect packages like 'Optic Flares' for After effects, and can do things like shatter a wall or glass effects and things like that. I also own Adobe Flash, and can do basic animations. Examples of my art can be found all over the forums, and if you want I can provide you a few pieces.
