    load your brushes in the ./brushes directory under the ./gimp at least I think that is where they go. They are hidden user directories.

    Gimp and Inkscape is a powerful combination. Great two programs for sure.

    Inkscape is a vector editing program, something like Adobe Illustrator.

    You can make things like this or this with Inkscape (just little things I've done to play with it), with the benefit of them being based on SVG, a vector graphics format which means they're infinitely scalable images.
