Two requests

[matataku_hoshi]

1) Does anyone know of a free (or cheap) image editing program?  I'd like to try my hand at making icons and I'm afraid Paint doesn't really cut it.

2) Could someone point me in the direction of a synopsis of Kean?  I'm going to see the show tomorrow and my understanding of these things is usually greatly helped if I read a summary first.

I could send you the program I'm using. :) [And used for Mami!Phantom] It has a lot of nifty features and is still much easier to use than photoshop. [And I'm hereby offering support along with the program. ;)]

If you don't mind doing so, that would be awesome.
