There are some fine examples of GIMP work in the DeviantArt The GIMP galleries.

GimpGuru.org (Easy navigation)
Thanks for checking this out!
If you're interested in learning about a free vector based graphics program also, I recommend Inkscape. Vector based graphics are highly scalable, so they don't loose resolution and become grainy.
