Congratulations Krita! Krita reaches crowdfunding goal

Krita, the very excellent Free and Open Source painting application, has reached its crowdfunding goal with 10 days to spare. The team has managed to raise over $15,000. The money will be used to fund further development of the software. Thanks to the funding, developer Dmitry Kazakov will be able to work on Krita for the next 12 months.

You can still contribute to the crowdfunding campaign and help the team reach some stretch goals. Rewards include postcards, stickers, comics, and more, all created from scratch with Krita (of course).

For those of you who want to get started using Krita, Ramón Miranda has an excellent series of Krita tips on video that you can watch on his channel.
