Dear All,
Today, I prepared a free desktop July 2011 wallpaper.
I named it simply – “Sunflower”. I love sunflowers and my garden is full of them :)
To me, this flower does not represent Summer and sun only, it also represents freedom, food (seeds and oil) and universal beauty. That’s why I love sunflowers!
I made this wallpaper with a little help from my friends Lightworks Photoshop brushes which are freely available to Gold and Platinum GBG members. So, to get them, join us at GBG and get access to those AND 150+ other Photoshop brushes sets, backgrounds, vector images, etc.
“Sunflower”, July 2011 Desktop Wallpaper calendar is available in following dimensions:

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 | |

I know. It sounds a bit like bragging but, believe me, once you see them, you’ll most probably think the same. And here is why.
These are the brushes I announced week ago. It took almost a month to complete them! And here is a short description of the work involved to get them done:
- These were first drawn by hand on Wacom tablet.
- These images were then manually traced and re-drawn in in Adobe Illustrator (there is no such tracing software that can replace good old manual work)
- Then were they converted to HiRes (2400px) Photoshop brushes
- To be presented to you :)
I receive many emails where you praise the quality of my brushes. Thank you. This quality, becomes especially obvious when you zoom in and check the shape edges. They’re fine, smooth edges. Thank you for your emails, these come as a reassurance that I am on the right course even if it takes so much time to produce them. And the procedure above explains how much work is involved. Especially all of you who use vector programs like Adobe Illustrator, you can understand how much work and effort does it take to make such a complex shape, not to mention 16 of them. But still, converting them to vectors and then exporting them is the only way to get real high quality brushes.
And why is this high resolution so important? It is too important when you need to use them on large images, on images that will be printed, or even on small images with a big brush shape or images that will contain just a part of the brush shape. Generally, it is too important when you want your work to look decent.
OK. I guess, by now, it’s quite clear that I am proud of this new set. I am proud and I am happy that I finally finished them. So, here they are. Full shapes (16) and elements (104) that you can use to create your own shapes.
As usual, there is one lite edition which is freeeee!!! :)

I got this idea – to make a redesign of Google’s check using my Photoshop brushes. I thought it would be cool to receive my next Google check in this new design, four actually, one for each season. First one is called “winter edition”:
No, I do not earn any significant money from Google! It’s really something like $100 in three months. Not nearly enough to pay for my hosting service… :( (which I have to change, and I have to do it fast because they are unfair). Now, let’s see spring check edition:
As you can see, here I used green colors. Bankers like green. I wonder way? :P Now let’s look the summer check edition:
It’s hot, just like the summer! And if you are receiving any check for them the amount should be hot too… Then we have autumn edition, in brown tones:
That’s all for now. Maybe someday someone important in Google will stumble upon this site, discover these great designs and contact me. Who knows?
In order to redesign Google check I used my:
Floral Shapes Photoshop Brushes set (37) and Floral DUO Photoshop Brushes set (62) – both available for Adobe Photoshop 7.0, CS, CS2, CS3, CS4 and CS5!
Have fun! I wish you a happy and joyful weekend!

Dear all,
I don’t know how many of you know, but 2nd of October is UN Non-violence day. And I fully support the idea. I think we all should help raising public awareness of that problem. Unfortunately, today, violence is all around us and we should all condemn it.
So, let’s unite our thoughts and take non-violent action to condemn violence. Non-violent action in Ghandi’s way (2nd of October was Mahatma Ghandi’s birthday) as he inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world.
One of the things I can do is to offer you free Photoshop brushes and vectors on the topic.
So, I prepared this Peace Photoshop Brushes set and Vector illustrations set – in one download file! 13 peace symbols: dove, peace sign, olive branches … and similar.
I hope you will like it.
Peace Photoshop Brushes and Vectors Set – in one package:
Peace and Love!
Yours,
Silvia

I was browsing the net, minding my own business the other day, when I ran into one more commercial that uses the stupidest phrase ever used in marketing copy: “Free gift inside!“. Again and again and again they insult us consumers with this nonsense phrase! There are variations – as you know. Sometimes it’s “We’ll send you a free gift” of “Free bonus!“.
The word bonus implies that it’s free otherwise it would not be a bonus. It would be just a normal payable product or service. Gee!
Free gift. Hey! C’mon!? What’s this? Are we, consumers, so stupid? Are marketers trying to convince us that gifts should usually be payed for? Like: “Yo, dad, c’mon buy me a gift for birthday, I’ll pay you for that.” How silly is that???
But, no! Marketing copywriters are constantly emphasizing the “Free gift inside!” phrase. Wow! A gift? And it’s free??? Hey!
Can’t they just say: “Buy this and we’ll send you a gift.” Why to they need to push the “free” word, like, just about everywhere??? Soon, in restaurants we’ll hear: “Order a soup and we’ll rent you a spoon and the plate – for free!” Just for the sake of pushing the word “free” in the sentence.
It’s just so annoying. I had to share it with you. And I’ll make a promise. I will never never offer a “free gift” when you buy Photoshop brushes or vectors, or scrapbook kits from me. I will present you with a gift. Normal gift. We all know what the word “gift” means. I don’t know about you, but I hate the BS.
P.S.
Gift – something given voluntarily without payment in return (dictionary.reference.com).
P.P.S.
Ha! You just thought there will be no gift for you. Haven’t you?
Let me present you with a Gift – Retro Shapes Photoshop Brushes set
[ PREVIEW ] I [ DOWNLOAD ].
Brushes are compatible with Photoshop 7.0, CS, CS2, CS3, CS4 and CS5, but also with the Photoshop Elements 6.0. I hope you’ll like it and – have fun creating!

Just to keep my promise: since a lot of you were asking for older version of my CS3 brushes and symbols here’s the update on Adobe Illustrator Symbols (floral), Adobe Illustrator Floral Brushes (I don’t know why I named those brushes “floral”…) and Adobe Illustrator Swirls symbols
See you soon :)
Love,

UPDATE January 28th 2008: Illustrator CS version “Leaves and flowers symbols” available for download! Yet another addition to Illustrator freebies section :)
For today I wanted to create a Photoshop custom shape. So, I drew some flowers and leaves in Illustrator… Big mistake.
If you want to create Photoshop custom shape, you have to do it in Photoshop using path tool. Oh, yes. I didn’t draw custom shapes in Photoshop for a long time – so I forgot about this little step. Of course, you can use Magic tool and then create path from the selection… but the results will be awful.
So, instead of Photoshop custom shape for today I offer Adobe Illustrator symbols for download, and the correct path where it should be saved is: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS3\Presets\Symbols
