Photoshop brushes and memories, burning, gold memories...

Photoshop brushes and memories, burning, gold memories…

Memories, burning, gold memories …

This is from one old Simple Minds song, back in the 80′s. Not many people remember that.

Well… anyways.

By the way, I don’t know about you my blogs gets tons of spam messages daily (spammy comments), and mostly are pharmacy related! And what is most interesting – I receive about 50-80 comments for prescription and non-prescription drugs! Can you imagine? Pffff…!!!

And what’s really bothers me is that I don’t have the time to check them all out one by one (through my spam comment folder), so the only option is to delete them all together. Now, when I think back, I figure it’s even possible that there were some nice friendly comments in my spam folder, but since I got rid of all comments in my spam folder, I guess I’ll never now! Hopefully, there was just spam there.

Ok, back to memories. This is really cool for scrap booking. I mean it’s cool for all kinds of graphic design projects as well, but scrap booking is kinda all about memories .

So, this time I prepared a brand new frames and I gave them the weirdest  name ever :)

Circled Memories Photo Frames

These are in form of Photoshop brushes (digital stamps) and transparent PNG files.

All packed in one nice zip file which is available in my little shop for $9.99 only and it includes commercial license!

* 25 circled photo frames

* three sizes for  5×5 – 3,5×3,5 – 2,5×2,5 inches photos

* 25 transparent PNG files (for 3,5×3,5 inches photos) in this pack too.

Love, love, love...

Love, love, love…

There’s nothing you can do that can’t be done.
Nothing you can sing that can’t be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
It’s easy…

Who does not recall the legendary Beatles song which starts with La Marseillaise. Even if you’ve been born long after the Hipi movement, the core idea is still very alive. I hope you will agree.

Anyways, inspired by the ever lasting idea of love and expressing this idea the best way I know I created, what? Yes, you guessed:

Photoshop brushes (Digital Stamps) and Vectors (Yes, vectors!) Pack

Squared Love – Word Art

Why “squared”? Well, you’ve all heard about “fair and square” term right? Well, there you go…

It will be circled love next time.

Now, it’s built in squares and it looks good. I know it might sound weird but it’s looks good. And graphic art is not about how it sounds, it’s about what it looks like :)

OK. Enough now … here is what I prepared today:

New Special Mini Pack: Squared Love Word Art

What’s in a pack:

* 12 brushes in two sizes
* commercial license is, as always, included (so you can make money with them – no questions asked)
* 12 vector files: EPS
* 12 PNG transparent files
* Compatible with Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Adobe Illustrator and more

| Preview | Buy ($6.50) |

You can use those digital stamps (Photoshop brushes and transparent PNG files)  in your cards, wrapping paper designs, boxes, digital scrapbooking, rubber stamps…

Also, vector files can be re-sized in vector applications such as Illustrator or CorelDraw! So you are not limited with the size.

Of course, as always, I prepared something as a free download- True Love – PNG file  3,5×4,5 inches at 300dpi

| Download transparent PNG Squared Love Word Art |

OK. That’s it for today. Love each other, cherish and respect people around you and your life will be, well, loving!

The Flying Pigs of Happiness, Photoshop Brushes

The Flying Pigs of Happiness, Photoshop Brushes

I got  “The Pig of Happiness” mug by Edward Monkton from my sister some time ago. She brought it from her trip to London and … it instantly became my favorite mug (who doesn’t have one). It says: “May his JOYFUL SMILE remind us how much there is to be HAPPY about”

So, inspired by this totally cool “making me smile” mug, I made my own version of Happy Pigs. I gave them wings and made them fly, so now they’re called

The Flying Pigs of Happiness

and I turned them into

Photoshop brushes

And I dedicated that brush to all my loving GBG members which will get it for free in our GBG eZine July 2010 edition (you too can joing GBG here ->)!

These 8 flying piggies will be available as .abr and .png files and I hope you will have fun using them as a decoration for your designs! I know I had fun creating them!

So, here they are 8 flying piggies, I hope they will put a smile on your face :

Colored version

Flying piggies – monochrome version

So, you will get it in our next GBG eZine which should come out soon.

And I intend to continue to do so in the future.

Having said that, ladies and gentleman, it is my great pleasure (and honor) today (gee … I’m so excited! It took me a while to create these and I am so happy with the results!!!) please let me to present you the latest product from my little factory of magic

This PSD files are fully editable in Photoshop CS4 and newer versions (CS5 of course). I am not sure if they work with CS, CS2 or CS3 this still needs to be tested out. However, if you have some of these versions just get the freebie and test before you buy the full package.

So, as I was sitting and contemplating on all this, I don’t know how, but it happened that started to draw crabs. And not just, like, any crabs, I started to draw happy crabs!

You already guessed, new Photoshop brushes set (digital stamps set) is on it’s way – Happy Crabs! The set is not yet finished, but I also made s small video so you can see how I make them.

The Story of Swirls And Trees

The Story of Swirls And Trees

Once upon a time (that would be, like, last week) I made 20 swirled trees in my beloved vector editing program CorelDRAW! (I always make my brushes in vectors first, that way I am always sure that the high quality will be preserved while transforming shapes to brushes).

And I liked what I saw. And I made 20 Swirled Trees Photoshop brushes of 1000px and 20 2500px. This way, we avoid over re-sizing and preserve top-notch brush quality from, say, 500px up to 3000px which should be enough for any serious work.

And then, I figured, how cool it would be if the trunk and tree top would be divided. Then it would maybe take longer to create a tree, but we’d get two new features:

  1. combining different tree tops with different trunks
  2. easier coloring of tree tops and trunks in different colors

You already guess, I just could not resist the urge to make this add on, another 46 brushes and BUNDLE them all together into Swirls and Trees Photoshop brushes SET!

The Swirled Trees Photoshop brushes SET now contains 132 (YES, ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY TWO!!!) High Quality Photoshop brushes that will get your creative juices flowing in NO TIME!

Just imagine these fantasy trees in your scrapbooks, or photo books, or your designs of any kind! They can be combined and colored in … well, gazillion ways and used as a background decoration or the focal point of your creations, make woods or lonely trees graphics, they will do any job for your projects just perfectly.

Swirls and Trees Photoshop brushes set is now available for purchase in my shop at it’s regular price of $9.99 (peanuts, I know).

AND, if you are the proud owner of 800+ Photoshop brushes MEGA SET, then you already know that this brush will cost you $4.99 ONLY! (??? yes, $4.99 for 800+ MEGA SET buyers get the 50% discount UNLOCK CODE, find out more here ->)

And if you are a Gold or PLATINUM GBG Member you will get it at 30% DISCOUNT! (Along with loads of other benefits and features that Golden GBG members enjoy.)

I know you know, but just to make sure that there are no mistakes about the commercial license – it is included in this set, so you can use it to make money, which many of you already know and do with my brushes.

New Photoshop Brushes set: Christmas Photo Masks (by bsilvia) and a Competition

Christmas is coming and we just can’t have enough of these little helpers which we need to make creative Christmas graphics. In this post, my dear GBG-ers,and visitors, I present you a brand new

Photoshop brushes set

Christmas Photo Masks

As you probably guessed, the image above (yes, that’s Mirta:)) was made with this set. So, if you’re interested in making similar effects – keep on reading.

Christmas Photo Masks set contains 16 brushes:

- 4 brushes in two sizes (total of 8 brushes) and
- 4 inverted (black-white inversion) in two sizes (total of 8 brushes).

So there are 16 free Photoshop brushes in this set.

Also, down below you will find the download link to 4 PNG files in 3600×3600 pixels size at 300dpi. Perfect for printing in any format!

If you don’t know how to use them,  follow this short Photoshop video:

But, before just heading over to download links bear with me just a second more:

I used Christmas Photo Masks Photoshop Brushes to make a cover for our Graphics-Illustrations.Com Christmas Album.

“What album? How will be making this album?” I hear you say.
“Well – you!”

Because, I thought, this is the perfect time , to make a little
