Don’t know about you, but I’m not too crazy about winter really … I miss the warmth, green leaves, grass and blooms on the fruit trees.

Gang!
Mr. Alphons (on the image below) and me wish you a very happy St. Patrick’s Day! Green, cheerful holiday that celebrates not just St. Patrick but it also a spring time that is coming!
Although St. Patrick’s Day originally started in Ireland as a religious holiday, a long time ago at the beginning of the 7th century, gradually it became a secular celebration celebrated all around the world, all the way to South Korea :) More about St. Patrick’s Day ->
And that’s no wonder, main concept of this celebration is: to be cheerful, have a beer with your friends, sing and dance.
Although, today did not start very well for me. Mr. Alphons, our little kitten tried to imitate Tom Cruise from Mission Impossible and fell of the balcony (2nd floor) while doing it :(
Still, we might say that today is a very happy day, as Mr. Alphons actually got lucky! We took him to the vet, we did full examination, including the X-Rays, blood test, etc … and the final verdict is – Mr. Alphons is fine!
He has a hell of the reason to celebrate St. Patty’s day!
Still, I hope he will not try to re-do the stunt. Or was just his way to express his happiness about the spring that’s coming :) ?
Anyways, just look at him with the clover in his teeth. A true man cat ;) Resembles Humphrey Bogart from Casablanca a bit, innit?
Anyways, have fun, have a pint or just a juice with your friends, celebrate, sing and dance, love each other!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
S
PS: This photo was taken with iPhone. The quality is not disappointing at all, innit?
Also, the decoration of the image was made with Photoshop brushes from our latest GBG eZine (Lite Edition Photoshop Brushes set: St. Patrick’s Day (6+6))
However, for PREMIUM Photoshop brushes just check St. Patrick’s Day Photoshop brushes set Second Edition (35+35) + 35 PNG files :)

I Suppose that all of you guys know about St. Patrick’s Day, right? I was surprised to find out that first parade took a place in New York City (not in Ireland as I thought) and it was on March 17, 1762!
Today, St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated by people of all backgrounds all over the world. It is all about fun, being drinking and singing – so, why not?
One of the interesting things, to me, is Chicago annual event that started in 1962: dyeing the Chicago River green! Well, I would like to see and take a photo of that event. Who knows, maybe next year I will!
So, until then… take a look at this great Vivayne digital scrapbooking package created using my St. Patrick PS brushes set.
Thank you Vivayne! Great job, as always!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day and have a fun creating!

Hello everyone!
I know, I’ve been away for, probably, too long. This is like, only the second post in 2009. Snow is pretty high here, streets are frozen but your graphics-illustrations.com team is on the heat. And for a reason. We are preparing something AWESOME for you guys! All we need from at this stage is a little patience.
What we are preparing for you guys is probably the most complex brushes set ever published on this blog (and there has been like probably a hundred of them so far). But, those new ones are something special. I mean, if those were simple, straight-forward brushes, they’d be completed and published a long time ago. But not these ones.
So, together with Poofitzah (see below) we are working hard to get you the brand new, Finest Floral Swirls Photoshop brushes set.
We know that will be around 16 brushes in this new set, every brush will be 2400 pixels (almost maximum) and all of them will be more complex than any other brush so far.
In this post I bring you a taste of this new set that will to be published by the end of this month.
[ DOWNLOAD THIS PHOTOSHOP BRUSH - Floral ]
So, this one is free and it comes with a commercial license for all of you who make money creating scrap books, wedding invitations, photo albums and all kind of designs. You will agree that we are talking about real complex brush here. That is why it is taking so long to produce the whole set of 16 + over 100 elements. But, don’t worry, once it’s out (by 26th of January) the price of the full set will be the same as usual: $9.99.
Oh, and one more thing (important!): many of you ask about compatibility with Photoshop CS4! All Photoshop brushes in graphics-illustrations.com shop are compatible with Photoshop 7.0 and upwards: you can use them in CS, CS2, CS3 and of course in new CS4 version. Every new software version supports older version of plug-ins or similar. In Adobe case, every new version of Photoshop supports brushes down to Photosop 7.0. So, no worries for you lucky Photoshop CS4 owners.
Do I need to remind you of my sooper-dooper (I came up with it) deal on the 800+ PS brushes MEGA SET? You can get 24 PREMIUM PRO Photoshop brushes Sets (800+ HiRes PRO brushes with commercial license) for 1/2 the price NOW!!! (see all the brushes here) ->
And to make this offer a REAL GOOD DEAL here is what’s in the package:
- You will get 25th set (40 more brushes): Photo Corners Photoshop Brushes set (20+20) for FREE!
- You will also get an extra promo gift that comes with it: Scrapbook kit Grunge Love!
- And aside from these 800+ brushes … you will get the special 50% discount coupon code that will be valid for ALL OTHER PS Brushes sets that I ever made (Including the FLORAL ones that are in production now). How about that?!?!
- OK. I have some more happy surprises for the buyers of the 800+ Photoshop brushes MEGA Set, but if I tell you about it now, then there would be no happy surprise, now, would it :))
Love you all guys, and don’t feel bad about the economy and stuff, use your imagination, many of my buyers started are real good businesses with my brushes (it wouldn’t be fair if I told you about them, but I’m kinda confident about your imagination. Also, please refer to some of my previous posts about business opportunities that open up when you buy HiRes PS brushes with commercial license).
Don’t forget, where there is a will there is a way!

Guys and gals,
Just a small post about this years Christmas Fair, Susanne and myself. As my old visitors already know, this year the Artists Society selected me along with some 20 artists who are allowed to set up their own “cabin” at this years Christmas Fair.
So, we did it!
I am selling my own stuff like, photos on wood, diaries, wooden candle holders and Susanne sells her socks and pantyhose.
And here are some images (taken late at night):

Yes, it’s getting closer. And we are all getting more and more exciting. This is a special time of the year when we do special things for our special ones.
And in those special times we have special requirements for our designs and scrap books. Cause they need to be special too.
So, I prepared a special package for all of you, my special guests, a special package with a simple name:
Christmas – New Year Backgrounds
[ PREVIEW Christmas - New Year Backgrounds (3600x3600pix, 300dpi: 12x12inch) ]
[ GET Christmas - New Year Backgrounds 4 Pack for $3.99 - with Commercial Use! ]
What will those do to you?
They will make your life a whole lot easier because those will save your time so you will be able to make your Christmas designs and scrap books much faster and you’ll have much more fun creating new stuff with them.
So, here they are, and they come really really cheap when, at the same time, they offer so much benefits. They are, as I said a great time saver, they are in big resolutions, 3600px by 3600px at 300dpi which should be enough for bigger prints too. Of course, you can always decrease the size or use just a part of them for web purposes.
Yes, the price is $3.99 so just before you run over to the checkout maybe you’d like to browse through the rest of my little shop and see what else is there to help you out on your productivity quest and I bet’ya you’ll find loads for productivity boosters there.
And of course there’s one FREE Christmas – New Year Background that comes with Commercial Use: 1500x1500pix (300dpi) – 5x5inch
[ GET FREE Christmas - New Year Background 1600x1600pix (5x5inch) ]
So, stay well and have loads of fun!

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.

Be different! Be among the first in this new revolution! Say NO to the tyranny of the new age called Christmas shopping pressure. Marketing companies see you as a sheep that only needs to work – earn and spend. But, guess what, it doesn’t say anywhere that you have to spend money for Christmas!!! I checked in the Bible the other day. I checked the Constitution as well. You DON’T NEED TO SPEND MONEY FOR CHRISTMAS. Nothing bad will happen to you.
To give to the ones you love is fine. It’s cool, but here is another good news – they will appreciate the time you took to make something for them with your own hands. They will appreciate it, that’s for sure.
Make a picture, a drawing, a poem or frame a photography. Make a cake or prepare a dinner surprise. Think think think! Don’t just rush in some super-store and spend spend spend just because everyone does it!
Be creative. Be yourself. Don’t be a sheep just following the herd.
Here you can download gift cards (or little greeting cards: 2,55″x3,7″) and print them (9 cards – one paper sheet A4 or letter size). Cut them on the lines, fold on the dashed lines and make them yours.
