Dear All,
Last few weeks were pretty stressful for me.
That’s why you did not hear from me for a while. I didn’t want to write about these, not so good, things that were going on in my life. Let’s just say that things are back to normal, more or less, for the time being at least.
OK. Now, let’s get to fun stuff!
Today is the last day of March (at least for those of you who are reading this on 31st of March), and this time I prepared a free desktop April 2011 Calendar wallpaper. Isn’t it odd? This time, for a change, I prepared a Calendar wallpaper in time!!! :)
I made this wallpaper with my latest Cherry Blossoms Photoshop brushes set which is freely available to all GBG members. This set is published in March Edition of GBG e-zine! If you want it, become a GBG member and you will get access to 120+ Photoshop brushes sets, making a total of almost 1000 FREE Photoshop brushes.

Japanse Cherry Blossoms, April 2011 Desktop Wallpaper calendar is available in following dimensions:
| 1024×768 | 1280×800 | |
![]() | ![]() | |
| 1280×960 | 1280×1024 | |
![]() | ![]() | |
| 1440×900 | 1600×1200 | |
![]() | ![]() | |
| 1680×1050 | 1920×1200 | |
![]() | ![]() |
And here is the iPhone wallpaper too

Have a great day, think positive and always wear a smile :) It’s free and it suits you perfectly!

What’s that sound that I hear?
What’s that sound that I hear?
Is that the spring coming?
Is that what I hear?
Ever since the December I started the countdown for the Spring. Yes, I don’t like cold weather, or snow or ice. None of it. I need to be kept on a warm place with a lot of sunlight :) It was written in the note which was delivered to my parents together with, well, baby me when I came to this world.
The note said:
“Hi, this is Silvia, baby you asked for. Be good to her because, one day, she will run a well visited blog on the Internet and you don’t want her to complain over there (not that you know what blog or internet is, but still, just trust us). So, please make sure to keep her in a warm place with a lot of sunlight.
Yours truly,
Baby Delivering Service Ltd.”
There was some other stuff in the note, but I won’t go into that now. I’m sure that there are plenty of you who also came to this world with a same or similar note.
Anyways, in this post I give you

Gang, as you know, Photoshop brushes can be used in a huge variety of ways. They are mostly used by
- graphic designers,
- scrap books enthusiasts and professionals alike,
- photographers for their photo books …
- even fashion and textile designers contacted me to tell me how much they appreciated my brushes in their works
- not to mention how we even decorated a Mercedes Smart car once
But, I don’t think I ever demonstrated how Photoshop brushes can be used to make cool 3D graphics.

And I don’t need to.
Simply because Graphic.Fabulog made a great tutorial on how to make col 3D graphics and he used my Photoshop brushes Swirls and Circles
So, here is the link to tutorial ->
And here is the link to brushes used in the tutorial ->
I liked the graphic he made a lot and I hope you will like it too (and tutorial naturally).

Valentine’s day is here. And it’s highly commercialized. Here is the alternative approach. I hope you will like it. Actually, I believe that many of you think this way too.
The feeling/emotion of being in love (not loving – being in love, having a “crush” on someone) is the most precious feeling we can experience in our live time, here on earth (I don’t buy the story that everything ends once we seize to breed, that’s why I say “life – here on earth” there are other “modes” of being alive out there.).
Those of you who experienced the feeling of “being in love” will certainly agree with me. It’s close to “madness” but in a good, positive way. It is also the “everything makes sense now” feeling. Also, it is a total absence of worrying or caring about the stuff we worry or care about when our mindset is in “normal” state.
All that matters, in the time of being in love, is to be in the company of someone we’re in love with. As much as possible. That’s all that matters. It doesn’t matter where, when or what you do. It is a fuzzy, warm feeling in the stomach and it feels better than any other drug that human or nature came up with. (Not that I tried all the drugs in the world or something, but once you know what it feels to be in love, you don’t go after drugs, because you know nothing came close to this.)
But, of course, we live in a “consumer” society and we need to spend in order to make the economy grow isn’t it? Well, I don’t “buy” this. We are led to believe that the best way of showing love is to BUY something for them. BUY a present. SPEND money. These are the messages we are all bombarded with and exposed to 24 hours a day (Ok. we still have the time when we sleep to be on our own, but I wouldn’t count that they won’t find I way to get to us there too).
Well, my message is: DON’T BUY anything for the one you love. DON’T! You just can’t buy love. If you could, it would be on the supermarket shelves already and it would probably be heavily discounted today.
Here the approach I prefer. Of course, we want to give something to the ones you love. That’s perfectly normal. Expressing love is perfectly normal, cool and ok. Now, what is the only asset we all have, but are limited with? And I mean ALL of us who experience life here and now on this planet? It’s the time. So, for this valentine’s day, take the time, and MAKE something for the one you love.
I create Photoshop brushes and the best way I can contribute is to give them to you so you use them and make something. Make a Valentine’s card. Make a poem, decorate it with Photoshop brushes and print it out. Make an envelope (here is how ->). Take the time to make it look good. It will make both of you so much more happy then just getting a perfume or some hi-tech gadget from the store.
I know what you’re thinking now “You’re saying don’t buy stuff, buy my brushes.” Wrong! I am offering loads of free Photoshop brushes on GreenBulbGang.Com site.
I also made new Valentine’s day Photoshop brushes for GBG Gold and Platinum members. Of course. GBG Gold and Platinum members liked my work and wanted to have more if it. And I am proud of it. And that is why I wanted to make this ones just for them.
But, again, there are loads of Photoshop brushes on GBG for free as well. So, there is no excuse :)
Yes, and have fun today! Show the ones you how much you are willing to give them – your most precious asset – your time. Not your money. Your time.
And, for my GBG Gold and Platinum members, I prepared a little something exclusive for you this Valentine. This is my way of saying “Thank you!”. So, just log in to your account and download:
Photoshop brushes – Love Messages (6+6)
- 6 brushes in two sizes – Gold and Platinum GBG members
Photoshop brushes – Valentine’s Day Hearts (6+6+6)
6 brushes in three sizes – Platinum GBG members
I wish you all loads of warm and fuzzy feelings in your stomach for this Valentine’s.

Gang,
Valentine’s day is here, knocking at the door and I just know you will want to make some cool thematic graphics and many of you probably plan on making some commercial projects related to the Valentine’s Day.
Whatever it is that you do, or plan doing you will need to make sure that you won’t get stuck when that inspiration just flies away. Many of you just won’t have the time to create cool decorations or shapes needed for your graphical projects, so, as always, I came up with some friendly little helpers which will, well, help you finish your project fast and make it look good at the same time because that is what we all are after, after all, isn’t it?

January is behind us and sunny days are coming our way. What a great way to start a blog post!
____________________
But, first of all, I owe you guys a BIG apology! Our dear simple on-line designer application had a bug which we were not aware of for too long. Light colored shapes did not look good on dark background after the rendering! Therefore only graphics done on a light background looked good. Now, the bug has been fixed and we all works like a charm. So, once again, I am really really sorry for this. You can go ahead, test the designer now! And if you find another bug I will reward you. :)
____________________
Since January is known as the most depressing month, I invited you to create graphics and fight the January blues by having fun making, well, graphics with Photoshop brushes!
And now, the time has come to announce … drumroll … the winners! Regardless to the bug in our little on line designer, I still wanted to award those to contestants:
1. The best graphic (Prize: Gold GBG membership)
Cris!
Thank you Cris! You’ll get the GOLD GBG membership.
If you are a GBG member already, just send me your login name and I will upgrade your membership to Gold :) (Please send your info to info (at) graphics-illustrations.com)

2. Second best graphic award (one PREMIUM Photoshop brushes set) from our Graphics-Illustratios.Com Shop goes to Fiona!
Thank you Fiona! This one was funny! You’ll get the PREMIUM brush of your choice (worth $9.99), send me your wish on info (at) graphics-illustrations.com!

Thank you all!
And stay tuned for more. In the meantime enjoy the Valentines day with the one you love and never forget: Have fun creating!

Gang,
When you see this photo you will have to agree, Myratz (also known as Myrcco, but everyone knows him as “Myrcco – The Space Cat”) is, most probably, coming from a different Planet! I have reasons to believe so and when you see this photo, you will, at least, have to admit the resemblance.
Look at his eyes and then compare to the creatures which were seen by people who saw aliens. I thing the image speaks for itself. This goes beyond the reasonable doubt.
Also, he does not behave like any other cat I’ve known (and I know cats, believe me). He is purring 24hrs/day. He doesn’t just purr while I pet him, oh no! He purrs while he eats, he purrs while he sleeps, he purrs while he sh*ts for heaven’s sake! I swear!
OK. Until recently I believed that he was given birth by Maneki Neko (see: The story of Maneki Neko). But, now, when I think back, I never saw this happening! I remember, when I saw him for the first time, he was one of the bunch together with Maneki’s other kittens.
Right now Myratz is jumping all over my desk but I know within next 15 minutes he will be asleep, dreaming of the galaxy he left not so long ago and, of course purring (yes, he purrs while he sleeps)!

Anyways, in the header you can see one of the Scrapbook pages I made for my little Myrcco The Space cat.
Let alone that, if you have a pet and you’d like to make a Scrapbook page for it, here are some useful tools:
Photo Masks – Grunge Squares Photoshop brushes set (25+25+25) + 25 PNGs

- second best will get one PREMIUM Photoshop brushes set from our Graphics-Illustratios.Com Shop
- third best will get a honorable mention (ok Fiona already got it, but we’ll have several honorable mentions )
Closing date is: 31st of January.
Of course, this little application is nowhere near the Photoshop but it still allows you to:
- Rotate the brushes: Ctrl (on Mac Cmd) + Left and Right Arrow Keys
- Re-size the brushes: Ctrl (on Mac Cmd) + Up and Downl Arrow Keys
- Change transparency
- Color it (solid colors only)
You can, also, choose whether you want to work with some of the backgrounds I provided or you want to work on a solid color background, this application will allow you to do both.
Finally, you get to pick the font and write something.
Use “Clear” button to start again!
Have fun (important).
It might take a while for the application to load backgrounds so please be patient. Thank you :)

- To rotate the brush – Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl(Cmd on Mac) and Left/Right Arrow keys.
- To re-size the brush – Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl(Cmd on Mac) and Up/Down Arrow keys.
Of course, as I said, you know that you can do a lot more with those brushes in Photoshop!
Also, the size of the brushes in the PREMIUM packages are MUCH MUCH BIGGER :)) up to 2500px!
OK. Have fun creating and have a great weekend!

Don’t know about you but I like to recycle. I strongly believe that we could recycle at least 80% of the stuff instead of throwing them away every day.
So, here’s a little preview what I’ve done with, for instance, old glass jars, mostly from my favorite products by Saclà Italia :)
The image below shows, for instance, glass jars filled with soil and plants. I got my hubby to drill in some holes and put them on the wall. They are hanging on the driftwood I collect (what? you don’t collect driftwood? of course you do! everyone does that …) every spring. So, finally, here is what my bathroom wall looks like today, everything recycled:

Image below: sample of colored glass jar hanging on some old cable – the candle holder:

Here’s what the wall in my working room looks like:

As you can see, I am using glass jars as simple candle holders too… I color them, decorate them with leaves or stripes… or whatever I can recycle. Finally, I print out a paper candle shades and put them around the jars:

As you probably guessed, to create candle shades, I use my Photoshop brushes.
So, if you like these candle shades, this is the place to get them!
I hope you will maybe find some of these ideas inspirational and maybe you will find some stuff at home that doesn’t need to be thrown away but can be used to create a decoration or something useful for your household.
Have fun creating,
