What can I say? I was so happy when I realized that Google raised the ranking of this site to PR3! Happy, the least to say.
What does it mean – Page Ranking PR3?
Simply put, it means that Google trusts this site, it means that Google appreciates the fact that I am making original content, unique posts and that I publish my own brushes here. Google realized that I’m not just aggregating other people’s work here.
Also, it means that advertisers will want to, well, advertise more on this site because links from PR3 sites are quite valuable :).
But, above all, this confirms that I am on the right track being persistent, for a third year now, creating new and original content, Photoshop brushes, vector illustrations, backgrounds, tutorials and other useful stuff.
So, thank you Google, thank you visitors and I hope to see PR4 really soon :))
In the meantime, enjoy this site, join Green Bulb Gang and free downloads that we offer.
Love you all,

I’m in a god mood today. Didn’t watch TV or read newspapers for a while and I got to feel better instantly.
I was wondering, what would happen if the human race would lose interest in news, sensations, killings, getting rich and richer? And if people who like guns and violence suddenly decide that they like poetry better? And people with thirst for power suddenly realize that painting with watercolor is more interesting?
Yeah, well … didn’t watch TV for a while and I got to feel better. Does this mean that our brain wants to be in a good mood by default but is just being overwhelmed with bad news from the outside world?
Probably. As they say, the sun is always shining regardless to the clouds.

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

Yesterday, after discovering that AdToll thing, I found myself thinking about how this, this and this person can earn enough money from their blogs? They are actually living a great life only from money earned that way?
Look, this woman is even supporting her family with it! That’s the direction I’m going to. It takes long, but I’ll get there sooner or later.
Why does it take so long for me to do it? Maybe “give stuff for free” business model doesn’t really work? If you have an answer, let me know, will pay for profitable advice.
But that’s me. I can’t be johnchow or shoemoney or dooce. I’m just… Me.

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.

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!):

Two days ago I bought 2 domain names, one is my “user name” bsilvia.com and the other is blogffiliate.com.
So, now I have to combine my work in microstock agencies with my new domain name and try to get some visitors on my bsilvia.com.
blogffiliate.com blog will contain useful info for new bloggers but also for other bloggers who are in need of new graphics, buttons, banners – you know, stuff I’m creating :)
Happy thoughts!
