I was going through my emails the other day tryin’ to catch up and see if there are any unanswered ones.
I really try hard to answer all of your emails and all of them are really great. Some of them really pop-out and make my day such as the one from Gordeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. It contained just one sentence: Thanks for downloads and this beautiful graphic that she designed using my brushes. That was her way to say “Thanks!” and a really cool one:
So, thank YOU Gordeeeeeee for this wonderful image and I hope you will use many more of my brushes for your work in the future.
Godspeed!

Holiday greetings season is behind us. Many of you probably still remember the times when our mailboxes (I mean the real, metal or wooden ones) used to be filled in with postcards. In my opinion, no eCard can match a good old fashioned postcard. It’s just that good old piece of paper and handwriting that adds a special human touch that no electronic mail can have.
So, thanks to Gordeee, impressive but mysterious artist, we can now show you some really really cool postcards. His current theme is Paris :). Some of the graphical elements he used are Grunge Floral Shapes Photoshop Brushes (free download after joining GBG)
These are really beautiful! Great work Gordeee and thank you for sharing it with us!
And now, since we’re talking about cards, I just couldn’t help mentioning one New Year postcard (old fashioned one) we got from my cousin Davor Vrankic and his wife Silva (yes it’s similar to my name but it’s not the same :)). This one was drawn by Davor himself! (find out more about Davor Vrankic who is a great painter – artist ->) … also, I already wrote about him and his success in the world of art here ->)
So, here’s the unique Holiday postcard from my cousin:
I bet you like it! He’s good isn’t he :)
I just can’t think of a better way to show a sign of appreciation other than do something with your own hands. I know, Davor is a real talent, but that is not the point here. The point is to take some time and dedicate it to someone by creating something with your own hands. That is the point.
Thank you Gordee and thank you Davor for your great works!
Yours,
Silvia
P.S.
Just before the end of the year I dispatched the last 2008 Green Bulb Gang eZine.
It was a compilation I called:
The best of free Green Bulb Gang downloads (Photoshop brushes); 2008.
It contained a link to one Green Bulb Gang web page that contained a number of links for best free Green Bulb Gang free Photoshop brushes of 2008.
These were only available to Green Bulb Gang members.
But, then on it turned out that the web page with download links did not work when accessed with Safari browser from Mac platform. I’ve got no clue why. I am so sorry guys!
I already sent emails with workaround instructions to all of you who reported that. (The workaround was: Firefox.)
I would test it before dispatching but I could not because I still did not save enough to get that Mac.
So, if you want to help me out AND get yourself a Collection of 800+ Photoshop brushes with Commercial license included (and we all know WHAT THAT MEANS :) ), please feel free to visit the 800+ Photoshop brushes MEGA pack page -> and check it out for yourself! (These are not free, but they’re worth every cent AND they come with a lifetime 1/2 price warranty!)
P.P.S.
If you are interested in the link to 2008 Best of Free Photoshop brushes Compilation page – it is not just for Green Bulb Gang members but also for all MEGA Package owners (although most of them are GBG members anyway :))

I don’t know about you, but I can’t handle hot weather well! I mean, I love summer, light dresses and stuff, but I live on the top floor!!! Living under the air-conditioner is not very healthy, so I don’t turn it on very often.
Next weekend, we just might escape from the city and head to the coast again, to wet our feet in the sea :)
Today, I selected one beautiful greenish combination to cool-off the day :)
The name of the artist is Tina Chambers.
She used:
- Floral DUO Photoshop Brushes set,
- Floral Shapes Photoshop Brushes set
- Swirls Floral Photoshop Brushes set
and made this beautiful scrapbook kit. The name of the kit is “Be a Dreamer”. I surely can identify with this one.
Another great new kit form Tina Chambers is “Fancy Pants”, created using Floral Shapes Photoshop Brushes set and Swirls Floral Photoshop Brushes set. Elegant and fancy, the name says it all :)
Stay well, keep smiling, check out Tina Chambers gallery on Digital Scrapbook Place and…
… have fun creating :)

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.

A few words about history of illustration.
Illustrations can be used to display a wide range of subject matter and serve a variety of functions like:
- 1. giving faces to characters in a story
- 2. displaying a number of examples of an item described in an academic textbook
- 3. visualizing step-wise sets of instructions in a technical manual
- 4. communicating subtle thematic tone in a narrative
- 5. linking brands to the ideas of human expression, individuality and creativity
- 6. inspiring the viewer to feel emotion in such a way as to expand on the linguistic aspects of the narrative
Early history
The earliest forms of illustration were prehistoric cave paintings. Before the invention of the printing press, illuminated manuscripts were hand-illustrated.
15th century through 18th century
During the 15th century, books illustrated with woodcut illustrations became available. The main processes used for reproduction of illustrations during the 16th and 17th centuries were engraving and etching. At the end of the 18th century, lithography allowed even better illustrations to be reproduced. The most notable illustrator of this epoch was William Blake who rendered his illustrations in the medium of relief etching.
Early to mid 19th century
In the early 19th century the proliferation of popular journals, which often serialised novels for mass-circulation, produced a boom in popular illustration. The medium moved away from steel engraving which was the standard in the early century towards wood-engraving which could more easily be incorporated into pages of text. Book and journal publishers would employ workshops of wood-engravers to render artists’ drawings onto polished blocks of fine-grained yew or box-wood which could then be locked directly into the printing-chase with the metal type. Notable figures of the early century were John Leech, George Cruikshank, Dickens’ illustrator Hablot K. Browne and, in France, Honoré Daumier. The same illustrators would contribute to satirical and straight-fiction magazines, but in both cases the demand was for character-drawing which encapsulated or caricatured social types and classes.
The British humorous magazine Punch, which was founded in 1841 riding on the earlier success of Cruikshank’s Comic Almanac (1827-1840), employed an uninterrupted run of high-quality comic illustrators, including Sir John Tenniel, the Dalziel Brothers and Georges du Maurier, into the 20th century. It chronicles the gradual shift in popular illustration from reliance on caricature to sophisticated topical observation. These artists all trained as conventional fine-artists, but achieved their reputations primarily as illustrators. Punch and similar magazines such as the Parisian Le Voleur realised that good illustrations sold as many copies as written content.
