I noticed that many of you brushes are looking for brushes that are compatible with older versions of Photoshop. Well, I’ve got some good news for you guys!
As of today I will start creating brushes in Photoshop 7.0.
Why?
Because those brushes will look just as good as the CS3 ones (guaranteed) AND will be compatible with Photoshop 7.0, CS, CS2, CS3, CS4 and CS5 version. Also, these will be compatible with older versions of Adobe Elements.
In this post I am presenting you the first of the breed: Photoshop plants brushes Photoshop 7.0 version (set of 23). (original post on Photoshop plants brushes)

You probably heard that coffee appears to reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, heart disease, diabetes mellitus type 2, cirrhosis of the liver, and gout. Also, the antioxidants in coffee prevent free radicals from causing cell damage. (source: wikipedia)
BUT!
Did you know that coffee stains CAN seriously harm your working desk unless it is water-proof?
AND!
I bet you didn’t know that INK can also leave coffee stains! By the way, if coffee stain appears on your desk – start screaming and rush out of the room in panic! Or you can scan it and make post on the best Photoshop brushes blog in the world – of course, this one.
After this short introduction, ladies and gentleman, let me have the honor to introduce you: THE COFFEE STAINS PHOTOSHOP BRUSHES (set of 62, 10MB)

See you soon :)
Love,

So out of 11 winners, I received only 4 replies from the winners. It looks like my contest was a total disaster which makes me think.
- Is it because blog owners are not really interested in graphic design of their Entrecards?
- Or maybe theres loads of professional designers out there offering their services for free?
- Or maybe they think if it’s for free it’s not of a high quality?
- Maybe I was supposed to let the bloggers know that I am a professional designer with many many years of experience (and awards too) and direct them to my portfolio?
Well, you live – you learn, and this experience was nothing else.
So, I designed Entrecards for Eva, Kevin, Thomas and Eve :). You guys replied to my announcement and you are getting the designs for your blogs. I’ll do my best to make your Entrecerds a success and that’s not all, you are getting 4 designs each!
For all of you who’s looking for free graphics visit my blogffiliate because today is Friday Freeware and I’m giving away 9 Entrecards design.
See you in Tuesday! (or maybe tomorrow?)

Take the one question survey – win a visit and a comment on your blog!
Guys, I’m in a dilemma. After spending some time working on the re-design of this blog I came up with two versions.
- Version with header and logo (the one you are looking at right now)
- Version without header and logo (brand new approach, click on the thumbnail below to enlarge)

Which one is better?
If you let me know what you think I will visit your blog and praise you.

OK. Maybe they’re not THAT collosal but, they’re definitely useful, applicable and good. After all, I even took the effort to make animation here so that you can see what you’re downloading – upfront. They’re pattern, decorative and tasty.
Try them, yummie (Photoshop CS3 patterns)!

These are just a glimpse and merely an announcement to what will be published on Friday, 22th of January 2010 – right here! So, just be patient and in two years you will see how it was worth!
P.P.S.
I was just kidding, some new stuff is coming this Friday, 25th of January 2008. Or maybe tomorrow

Note: after downloading and unpacking, Photoshop patterns should be placed in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Presets\Patterns folder

I was just getting ready to become depressed as nothing interesting was happening today and it was just about to became… boring? until few hours ago I run into that shoemoney blog.
It seemed like every blogger in the universe knows about that guy except for me. OK, I am a designer and a photographer so I guess It’s forgivable. Anyways, if he is to be trusted it seems like that guy is making some serious money with his blog which, of course, grabbed my attention.
Now, among other stuff that he does, he also takes a pictures of himself. A lot. I don’t know, maybe some think he’s sexy being bold with glasses and all. Anyway, if he gets all that attention (like thousands of visitors every day) I thought it would be nice if he published a picture of him self wearing a T-Shirt with my logo on it.
So, to cut the short story long (or was it the other way around) I decided to send him a T-Shirt with my logo on it and let him make one his “Free Shirt Friday” post using it. He gets a shirt and I get exposure.
I was just figuring this whole thing out when the following funny spam email popped in (what a laugh!):

I spent last two days by dropping entrecards :) And, while doing it, that great idea just dropped on the top of my forehead – splash! :)
Why don’t I offer you a free design for your Entrecard?
Why don’t I spend time, effort and creativity to make the best possible design for you – using the graphic style of your choice?
Why?
Because there’s too many of you who want design for free. Of course!
BUT
I can make, say, 6 designs for free!
So, why wait, if you need a design for your Entrecard but don’t have the skills or time to do it. Or you don’t have money to order it – get it for free at graphics-illustrations.com!
Just go to graphics-illustrations.com, select the graphic style that you prefer and make a creative, innovative, funny… comment.
You just might get a free graphic design for your Entrecard.
Contest winners
I will draw 3 (three) winners! All three contest winners will receive free design of their Entrecard - two (2) designs. Winners should contact me on my e-mail, providing me info about their blogs (blog name, blog logo /if any/, blog typography /if any/). Design will be created within next 4 days upon receiving this info.
Contest rules
Contest rules are pretty simple: leave your comment anywhere on my graphics-illustrations.com blog and post a link to your blog. That’s it.

P.S.:
KUBOTA SLOPPY BORDERS
Get over 125 Kubota Sloppy Borders in this fantastic border Pak.
From elegant thin borders, to eye-catching medium borders, to heavy borders for a bold statement, this Pak adds the finishing touch to your tweaks.
KUBOTA SLOPPY BORDERS have always been a favorite way to present images in the old days of film. But with digital, this cool retro look is much more difficult to achieve. Scaleable, snap them on inside or outside your image, and even change the border color to fit your image!
To create the Sloppy Borders, Kevin Kubota and Craig Strong, (of Strong Photography and Lensbaby, LLC) went into the darkroom and individually printed the borders, using a variety of filed out negative carriers (the traditional way). Then, they were scanned at high resolution, and digitally prepared for overlay on any image.
Excellent for online presentations or slide shows, this is the finishing touch Pak that will set your images apart from the rest.

I was a little bit sick for a last three weeks, but I hope that it’s all over now and I promise to draw & upload more in the future.
I had a lot of inquiries for Adobe Illustrator Floral Brushes and Adobe Illustrator Symbols (floral) – those are made in AI CS3 and they don’t work in older versions. The problem is that I had my friends notebook with me then on my vacation with AI CS3 and I don’t have it at my PC! I need some time to solve that issue, so please be patient.
I was doodling something yesterday, and here’s the results :)

Enjoy!
