Is there a microsoft paint like application for mac? Either built in, or for a free download? If I need to pay, it's not worth it, but if there is one, great. Thanks.

I just use Gimp for all my image editing needs, which is a bit overkill in many situations. If that's the case with you, some quick researching turned up a couple of links which may interest you:

http://seashore.sourceforge.net/

And they're all free, by the way.

I like Pixelmator better than GIMP, better usability, I feel.

It does cost $60 or something like that, but I thin it's entirely worth it.

I love pixelator, and use both GIMP and it all the time, however both are far more complex than MS Paint. Any suggestions on easier to learn programs, basic brush selection and color choice kind of thing?

Even basic brush selection would be more advanced than MS Paint, in my opinion.

Here are a few other selections,

http://seashore.sourceforge.net/
http://paintbrush.sourceforge.net/

One of those might get the job done for you.

I use Pixen since it uses up VERY little space and is as simple as paint. http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/13363

If you don't already have one, I'd recommend picking up the Wacom Bamboo Fun package. Not only is it a good drawing tablet for beginners, but it also comes with Corel Painter Essentials
