So, here is the result. I hope you like it.
The recipe:

- Loads of Filter -> Stylize -> Gloving Edges
- Loads of Filter -> Blur -> Radial Blur
- A bit of Layer Blending Options
and the Swirls Brushes set! Get it here ->!
Have fun creating,
S :)

So, you would like to print your own scrapbook that will be cool, unique and… huh, cool?
How would you like to make some cool graphics, merge them with some photos and print out as a scrapbook that will always remind you of some people or events?
Do you just feel you can’t afford to spend too much time working on it?
Well, let me tell you something. It took me one afternoon to do my Rovinj (Rovigno) scrap book. Rovinj is a small fisherman’s town in Croatia, at the coast of the Adriatic Sea. I decided that I want to have scrapbook of it, took one afternoon of and … voila! Here it is. Do I need to mention that I used my own brushes for it? (and of course my photos!)
Here is just a preview of the book and in next post I will briefly describe how it’s done. So, if I did it, I’m sure you can do it too. At home. Just using a printer, canvas paper, some textile, cork board, sea shells and a sponge. Nothing too sophisticated.
Photoshop brushes used for this book:
- Swirls (floral) Photoshop brushes set (premium edition)
- Tatoo designs Photoshop brushes set (premium edition)
- Simple custom Photoshop brushes set

So finally, after a long time, they’re out to the light of the day:
Swirls II - The Resurrection Set!
(Do I sound like an Alien movie fan? :) I’m not!)
For last two years (or so) swirls are unchallenged on their throne of the modern graphic design elements. Swirls are used extensively in web and print banners, blog graphics, magazine front pages, scrapbooks, webs, posters, marketing campaigns, advertisements even at NYSE green Guinness background (just noticed that on CNN :) … can’t miss them.
And what I like about them is that in every illustration they can be used differently. Each graphic designer can find their own unique way to use them in their graphic design project.
And that is what I like about them. This brand new set contains, again, different kind of swirls, the ones that will bring out that special unique touch to your work. I designed them to help you make great graphics and, due to the sole nature of the brushes, they will empower you to make your graphics fast!
So, get up on the fast track - download Photoshop 7.0 Swirls brushes, make a few strokes with them (in your Photoshop 7.o or later or Photoshop Elements, Paint Shop Pro, or even Gimp) grasp their potential and make great graphics – now! (check out my graphics for some inspiration: Black and white background or Retro grunge background illustration or Brown and yellow illustration background)
Swirls II Photoshop Brushes LITE edition (6 brushes free download – GBG membership needed)

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.

Well, here in Croatia today was a last day for a tax reports. I thought again, when juggling with a papers today: why we are still using so much papers for something that is anyway, stored as a digital data?
Not to mention that, like always, all that bureaucracy made me mad; felt helpless, hopeless and defenseless. While waiting in the queue, I heard one guy talking to the office lady about his new born child. He was happy to announce that he has become a father for the first time, all proud and happy. Office lady talked to him about social security numbers, reports and all in all… that moment I felt like a slave. Real slave with an invisible number stamped on me right after my birth.
My government wants to keep me blissfully ignorant, half healthy half cozy. They want me quiet, servile and on the short and strong leash.
It wasn’t one of my happy days, nor mediocre (I don’t want to say bad or ugly!). But I managed somehow because it’s Fridayyyy!!!! So, for today I have grunge styled letters and numbers in a form of Photoshop 7 brushes set. Divided, as usually, in two editions:
- Lite edition grunge numbers Photoshop brushes numbers set (please, join GBG for free download) – numbers only (set of 10)
Grunge alphabet and numbers with swirls, Photoshop brushes set
- Covering standard Latin alphabet and decimal numbers from 0-9
- PC/Mac Compatible
- compatible with Photoshop 7.0, CS, CS2, CS3, CS4 and CS5 (and newer versions)
- compatible with Photoshop Elements 3.0 and all newer versions
It will help you with:
- scrap books, quick pages
- greeting cards, birthday cards
- backgrounds
- computer desktop wallpapers
- photo album decorations
- let your imagination go wild from here…
For commercial use!

I assume that you worked on your swirls creation technique with a little help of my previous tutorial (How to draw swirls illustrations in Adobe Illustrator, Part One).
Now, let’s make a little case study. To make a Swirl Illustrations that looks like the one in the header of graphics-illustrations blog, we need:
- Swirls symbols set, Adobe Illustrator
- Ink Splatter symobls set, Adobe Illustrator
- Classic artist brush set or Classic Artist brush symbols set
- Adobe Illustrator Floral Brushes set
Determine the size and shape of the blank space. We will now use simple quadrant shape.
Create a new layer bellow. Use the simple artist brush symbol below the layer that contains the quadrant to create an “outline”
Again, create a new layer. Now add some ink splatters around, on that layer.
Add some swirls on the layer above the layer that contains ink splatters (but bellow the layer with the shape and layer with it’s outline)
Add some more swirls, and also add some swirls on the new layer on the top.
In the end, add some stars… and that’s it.

If you’re wondering how to colorize the symbols or even change their shapes: select all symbols and use the “Break Link to Symbol” – now you can manipulate shapes and colors until the dawn breaks or until you’re happy with the results – whatever comes first

Here is a good idea on how to make a birthday party invitations – use this ransom note Photoshop brush and put together a following note:
“If you don’t show up at my birthday party at date XX:XX:XX place XXXXX I will be extremely disappointed and apart from that there will be no other consequences whatsoever.”
OK. I know it would be much better to use the similar ransom font, but hey! I had to make some kind of introduction and you must admit that the idea itself has a glimpse of humor in it, innit?
Another usage of this brushes would be Digital Scrapbooking!
To make the long story short, the only limit is your imagination. Let me know how you used it, gimme some feedback and let’s share the ideas!
If there was more free brushes like this – this world would be a better place.
Of course you are always free to utilize the appreciation button in the right hand corner of this blog. But, even if you don’t it’s fine. I have this nice neighbor that let’s me eat the leftovers of his lunch :) Appreciation button removed!

Awww! My good mood spreads all around!
Two days ago thanks to my net-surfing-craziness I found this great web site called redbubble.
I just love this community because I can create T-Shirts and Greeting Cards out of my work, not just the simple “stock images”! And, I really love the T-Shirt idea!
Imagine this: after only day and a half, my image made it to the front page (that is the one with the strawberry and honey)! Oooo, I’m so happy! You can check my gallery there if you like…
Well, ok. Enough words for today. More about other happy details can be red on my 404039 blog!
To keep the promise, today I present the brand new Photoshop brushes set for download. Brush corners. Hand made :) set of 40 (high res, 440 to 2120 pix)

Hello!
It’s raining…hard. I’m in old city built on a little hill, and water is flowing down the streets all day. All in all I’m in a good mood :)!
Heh. I’m picky. I’m picky no matter what is the subject: food, sweets, drinks, shops, restaurants…
Yesterday I found a good toilet facility in Rovinj marina near the nice cafe. That is so important!:) I like marina’s because they have great facilities.
Oh, yes. Little restaurants and cafes, nice cosy chairs, awesome tasty coffee (mostly Illy, Lavazza or Nannini) and the best sea view.
I don’t have a boat. No. Oh, I wish! But, for now I have to sit by the sea and spend my days throwing the stones into the water. Then I can watch concentric circles… and hey, that’s the today’s brushes theme!
